This or a related study was what made me keep my beans in the freezer, and I *think* I've noticed a change for the better in flavor. What appears to happen if you freeze them is that, at least using a blade grinder (whacker), the particles are more uniform in size -- noticed this with coarse grind for the press.
Aside: Tried a few drops of H2O in this morning's 2-scoops of (frozen) beans, and yes, it kept the dust and static down. Had to scoop last bits off of wall of grinder cup, but far less mess than dust flying all over. Y'all's word for the day: Pulverulent, adj, as in "effing pulverulent mess, dammit!"
