You are drinking coffee that is over a year old? R U Kidding me?

When you decide to make your own, freshly ground coffee beans, medium roasted is best for most coffee hounds like myself. Colombian is very popular but I try about every flavor that I can get hold of. I have tried over 50 different coffees and love them all.

@aureliah , It's not that hard, in fact, just one single brand, for instance, Community coffee, comes in many different flavors, and Starbucks has an enormous variety of coffee. Then there is Gevalia coffee. Have you ever tried Gevalia brand coffee? it is fantastically good coffee.

@lookatdesktop Wow that is a wide variety you have tried right there

@lookatdesktop I think we all can improve in some ways. Yes there is the so called preppers that get a bad name. If only people would think, just getting ready for the winter or something like that is "prepping". I can foods and do things like stocking up on some items so guess I'm a prepper. Rather safe then sorry. Learnt when we had no electric for about 3 weeks that certain things come in handy.

@Ithink , Yes indeed we need to always be prepared and have things around that will be there when needed, in any event.

It was okay but I know the difference between year old coffee and fresh. I am just saying, that you can actually drink it but I would not buy large amounts at any given time in the future, so as not to let it keep long enough to get stale. It was pretty stale, but when you consider survival these days, people are stocking up on water, beans, flour, rise, corn, coffee, chocolate and so forth just in case of the Doomsday Apocalypse. I mean, we are living in a day and age when it is quite possible all hell might break loose, I also come from hard times and know not to waste anything that can be used. Even left overs in the refrigerator have to either be eaten or thrown into a garbage mountain somewhere and it is a waste to buy anything and just throw it away. My philosophy is to waste not, want not. But I am not perfect. I can stand improvement.

The flavor does change but it must be kept in a dry & cool place. Not refrigerated. But, to be honest, fresh is best. I usually only buy a 2 pound bag of ground coffee so it will not stick around long enough for it to get stale. It can easily get stale if left out in the air with a lid that does not keep out the air.

If you have no problem with your blood pressure and are familiar with either tea or hot chocolate, coffee is a caffeinated beverage that dates back to the olden days, but that is not important. It is best served in moderation, like a cup a day or once in a while and is served with a combination of ingredients, sugar, cream, vanilla, cocoa or caramel. It comes in many varieties, sweetened iced coffee with cream as a mix of many flavors called a Frappuccino, or an iced coffee, or hot as a flavorful cappuccino. Here is a link to a YouTube tutorial about making a special coffee at home I think you will enjoy.

@lookatdesktop Nope, sorry I meant what it tastes like when you drink coffee stored it for over a year.

You have to really love coffee or have no other coffee on hand,

I needed a strong cup but in fact that old coffee was really not fresh. I mean, I tollerated it but it was not something I would serve to customers if I owned my own coffee shop.

@ivanituut Our kitchen.

@lookatdesktop nice so what's the name of your coffee shop?

That is a smart thing to do.
