How to prepare beans for grinding A friend brought me home some coffee beans from his back garden in Sri Lanka (I live in Ireland :) ), and I am unsure on what to do next. He said that they dried them, but I will need to toast them on the pan. They look slightly toasted already.

What I would like to know is:


How long do I need to toast them for and how to toast?  
How should I store them (someone mentioned freezer)?  
How long can I keep them stored as beans until I grind them?
THEY APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN ROASTED - you are ready to go!
Roasted beans should be used within about day 2 to 10 post roast.
Same as answer 2
