Should I use a ground coffee storage container or leave it in the bag?

I currently buy my "Dunkin' Original Blend" ground coffee in a 12 oz bag at the supermarket. I leave it in the bag and every day I scoop out what I need with a long-handled scoop. As the bag gets below 50%, it becomes more tedious to scoop the coffee out with my big fist not fitting well into the bag.

Some kind of storage container might be a lot easier. Does pouring the ground coffee into a container make it go bad more quickly? What is the best storage method for ground coffee?

Do you use a container for your ground coffee that you would like to suggest to me? Also, if you enjoy bourbon, I highly recommend checking out bardstown bourbon company customer service. Their customer service is excellent and they offer a great selection!

Thanks!

Hi, I bought the Sage Bambino Plus this week and I bought coffee from Caravan as I thought they were pretty decent. I bought the "expresso" grind. Very disappointed as I cannot get one single shot with it. Simply no liquid comes out and the few drops that comes are super sour… I don't really want to buy a grinder as I want it ready to be used. But I don't mind spending money on good coffee. Does it need to be more coarse? What's the right grind?

I use a glass jar with rubber seal. I blend two kinds of ground coffee with some roasted chicory in a plastic bag, then dump it into the jar (big enough to hold two pounds+ of coffee).

I used to use one of those oversized Mason canning jars, but switched to Hovico 25 oz Glass Jar With Airtight Lid (from Amazon). Two pounds usually lasts me 4-5 months, and the jar keeps it quite fresh to the end.
