I don't think I'm being overly presumptuous if I say I believe I qualify as a 'coffee aficionado', and I'm gasping that you store coffee grounds. In addition to the excellent advice on the National Coffee Association site you link to (I bet at least 95% of people don't know that "...coffee begins to lose its freshness almost immediately after roasting so it is far better to purchase it in smaller quantities. Purchase freshly roasted coffee frequently and buy only what you will use in the next 1 or 2 weeks"), it also begins to stale immediately upon grinding, becoming noticeable worse tasting within 5 minutes -- after all, you are increasing the surface area now exposed to air by a million fold. So don't buy ground coffee -- buy freshly roasted beans as per the advice above (and use it within 2 weeks of the date of roasting), and grind minutes before brewing.

And my next piece of advice? Blade grinders don't cut it... :-)

You could try using the Rasterbator to put it on your wall. It works really well with high contrast stuff like this.

I also vote Noguchi, in the wood tone. Reasonably priced repro available here, in Canada:
