Do you store your coffee beans in the freezer?

I haven't been around these parts in a long, long time, but y'all taught me how to make delicious coffee (2 years ago?) so I thought I would come back to my original source. 

 A lot of people told me to keep the beans in the freezer, which I have been doing.  Well, I was reading the bag today and it said specifically not to do this!  I'm sure it will not kill me either way, I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts/insight on this.

  Miss y'all.

I keep our coffee beans in an airtight container on the counter, where it never gets sunlight. It probably shouldn't be a clear canister but ours is. We go through them fairly quickly so I don't freeze. I would be wary of the moisture in the freezer. I know the fridge is a def no-no, but I think the freezer can be fine as long as they're packaged well.

We don't go through coffee very fast, so yes, I store the beans in the freezer.  I let them warm up before grinding.  We only make coffee at home on weekends, so this works just fine.

DH used to keep his coffee beans in the freezer, but then he kept reading about the possibility of moisture being an issue and stopped.  Now he uses airtight cannisters.

No, it loses the flavor overtime. Store it in airtight container.

Ditto this, my grandma taught me this trick to keep it fresh longer. i just double wrap it in ziptop bags
