Well, fresh ground coffee beans is like a red wine bottle opened : It last 2 days. It's deterioration is logarithmic. Within the very first 48 hours, it loses about 25% of freshness. In the next 48 hours, it will loose maybe another 10% (don't apply to the vacuum sealed package). This is especially true if it is a very sharp coffee blend. Also true if you are perfect with your methodology of making a coffee. All the process from grinding until drinking must be very perfect to obtain the best from the grain and from the infusion technique.
So fresh ground beans are important if you master your technique. Otherwise either freshness or technique are not so important, it will ordinary coffee only.
Will alter the coffee freshness:
-light
-air
-moisture
-hot or cold
-your finger natural body oil
-time
To have a full caffeine coffee, use a Bodum and infuse it for 10 minutes.
I prefer the espresso, it's less caffeine, and the texture is not like water.
That taste is maybe because of my French background.

We can say whatever we want, but isn't the human race a result from past global warming?
I know we are afraid, but sometimes, high above our little consciousness, life emerge in other ways, other forms. And it is beautiful.
We think that we deserve life and that life is perfect as it is with us, and that it is something terrible to think about our extinction. But if we agree this, we agree that it was a good thing that dinosaurs died for global warming and it is us that take their place slowly and beautifully.
This is a good point you bring here. But hopefully surfing sites that require a login to access the datas will disappear slowly. Since more Web services oriented organizations will continue to raise, with a platform for participation and users generated content, the less people will try to satisfy their needs for free stuffs "closed" sites, hiding behind.
It will be relevant when we will have a reliable identification online. Each citizen that would like to use the Internet should have a PGP key to identified them. This way we could use the Internet as we use life, without being able to pretend to be anyone else...even it should be harder to do so. That way, information gathered about each of us would be of trust. Of course anonymous or pseudo username surfing is relevant about the picture it gives of us generally, but aren't we wanting the Internet to become part of real life too? In order to become effective and bring some health in this world, Internet should know us, we human. Even know us much more that our country. What identifies us? What's better to identify us? What is better the technology has invented yet? PGP, username, or social security number? Why is it so slow to adopt technology that can serve us in a better way.
