For convenience mainly, being able to order a few bags at a time and always having some on hand, I've been caught out by late Xmas deliveries before.
There are a few threads about the merits or otherwise of freezing coffee but I'm happy to do it as the benefits outweigh any potential negatives for me.
I'm currently drinking some Black Cat a friend brought back from LA for me a couple of months ago, roast date is 21 Oct and even after the less than ideal conditions during the flight back and being stored in the freezer I'm still pulling shots with nice mottled crema.
I also like being able to keep a few different coffees and decant around 150g of whichever I fancy at a time into an airtight container.
I'm sure I've seen sealed bags of beans continue to de-gass when thawed if they've been frozen very fresh when delivered, unless it's something else causing the bags to swell.
