I don't drink coffee that much, but I buy whole beans and grind them when I make a fresh pot of coffee. Will keeping them in the freezer help them stay fresh, or will it have the opposite effect?

I have some coffee beans, but no grinder. What's the best way to make coffee with just beans. At best I can probably smash them up a bit by hand. To make the coffee I can boil water on the stovetop, but I don't have an fancy coffeemakers either.
As you're wondering: no, I didn't buy the beans myself. No, I don't have a blender or other fancy kitchen devices, and I don't want to buy any for the sake of a handful of free coffee beans.

I don't want storage tips, i want to know how long they will last.

plastic tanks and pipes

Nearly every drip coffee maker has a plastic heating tank and all have plastic pipes to bring hot water to the coffee grounds. I am concerned that many people are drinking plastic along with their coffee - and most plastics are toxic. I have contacted several of the most popular manufacturers - none uses stainless steel for delivery pipes and only a few pots have a stainless steel tank. Considering how many people use these drip coffee makers, it seems a serious public health concern.
