Ok, thanks. That's what 12-18 hours? 

For people who are familar with Philly, I used to stop at the coffee 
roaster in the Reading Terminal Market, take the train home, so that by
the time I got home it was room temp. Then I would put it in the fridge 
until the next morning. This was not an every day thing, usually Fridays.

Does the UPS delivered coffee taste the same as the stuff you pick up?

Please don't blame me if you never noticed before and now you do :-)
