There is no point to store instant coffee in the refrigerator. If you bought it in a vac-bag, then it's wise to pour the coffee-grains into a fast tightening jar. If you bought it in a screw-top glass or tin, these are usually air-tight. So you are well advised to screw it tightly close after taking portions from the jar. Also make sure to take portions with a clean, dry spoon. Instant coffee grains only suffer from high humidity; it may make the grains stick together into a messy lump.

One way of producing instant coffee is to dehydrate perculated coffee. By adding water to the instant coffee, you get the ready coffee. So essentially, instant coffee is a dry product and only sensitive to humidity, apart from this, you may store it in any temperature until the date printed on the packing as end of duration date.

I used to leave my instant coffee out of the fridge. One day it good, a few weeks later it was rancid--just awful--although it was still within the expiration date. What you say makes sense but I think I will continue to keep mine in the fridge and try to keep it dry.

Storing your coffee beans in the fridge is going to create too much moisture in the tub or package. Moisture is one of coffees biggest enemies and if you want to keep your coffee tasting great don’t use the fridge. The constant removing and placing back into the cold environment only causes temperature fluctuations which in-turn causes condensation. This condensation can lead to mold and spores growing on your coffee.
