I've been thinking about doing this for a long time, but finally got fed-up enough with coffee taking up food space in the freezer. It's a cute 1.8 cubic foot (probably about a quarter albatross for those using the metric system) little cooler-style fridge/freezer. Justified it further since if I ever needed to it has a 12v dc adapter for car use (doubt I ever will). It does feel pretty special for the coffee to have its own storage unit, and it makes finding frozen fruits and meat in the standard freezer easier to sift through. A couple of times I even threw stuff out of the freezer to make room for coffee, so I knew it was time to try this.

I can imagine. That setup looks very useful.

Did you reserve one corner of a drawer for coffee? I have about 500 g of coffee in the freezer, so the beans occupy the same drawer where I keep my berries.

    I have one of the smaller drawers dedicated mainly to coffee. I have around 2kg currently in the freezer (four 500g bags of different different beans). Each bag has tape over the valve and each bag is in a ziplock bag. There are some single serving bags of udon noodles in there too. I don't have anything in the drawer that could leak if we lose power for an extended period of time.
