You can put coffee in the fridge, but it is usually not the best storage choice for beans or grounds. Coffee picks up smells easily.
Can you keep coffee in the fridge?
TL;DR
Usually no. Coffee beans and grounds are better stored airtight in a cool, dark cabinet.

The fridge has moisture and food odors, which can affect coffee flavor. Opening and closing the container also adds temperature changes.
For everyday coffee, use an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture. That is usually enough.
Brewed coffee is different. Brewed coffee can be refrigerated if you want to drink it later or use it for iced coffee.
Do not treat coffee beans like leftovers. Keep them dry, sealed, and away from strong smells.
