No that wasn't the point.
Just getting an idea of how much you drink. Curiosity, that's all.
Anyway 6 weeks old should be alright I reckon. More, even.

Lol - 1kg of beans lasts me about 3 months! But then I only drink one large cup of cappuccino a day...
When you guys open bags of beans, and use some to make coffee, do you immediately pour the rest into large airtight containers, or just seal up the bags? I always do the former
I use these chaps, which I get from Ikea, and keep things fresh for yonks:

A large cup of “half a cup”
I use a Vacuvin storage jar when I open a large bag of beans.

used the gas with kilner jars. worked well, but if you add up cost, its cheaper buying a big bag and disposing of when its past its best, if you havent drunk it all. reckon a kg lasts about 4/6 weeks depending on usage so not bad value
