I typically only get fresh whole bean stuff and grind at home. You can get away with freezing beans as well which even coffee snobs says is a viable option that doesn't affect the flavor negatively. I only make enough for me and the wife so a good hand grinder is all I need (I like the classic look as well) and generally I'm using a French press but if I'm feeling extra hip I'll break out the chemex and do pour over.

The danger with freezing is that frost condenses on the beans, and then turns to water when they thaw. It's the water more than the freezing process itself that is the problem.
