Green Beans ordered for 2017

[The Poet]

Mud normally runs (or oozes) about 2 bucks a can, so around half the price of your beans. And though I am sure your brew is at least twice as good, I still could not justify it on my budget. But I am glad someone I know and like gets to enjoy it.

I like your choices, but that's a lot of green coffee beans. I only order about 10-12 pounds at a time, how do you store your green beans?

Just in the cupboard. Looked into it once and learned that as long as they do not get moldy, they are good for quite a while. I had 5# of Jamaican Blue Mountain that I used very sparingly for special occasions, it has been in my cupboard for 4 years.

Now, I may be wrong, but there have been no problems with the beans I have had around.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Like Todd, I simply store mine in the bottom cupboard, where its dark and cool. Try to keep as much air out of the bag when I reseal it and store it after a roasting session.

I even store mine in burlap bags, letting the air in. It allows air flow which keeps the mold from growing.

I have not seen coffee in the store for $2 a can. What are you buying?

Do you have grinder, or is buying roasted beans out of the question?

On occasion name brands like Maxwell House, Folgers, etc. are on sale. Otherwise my local grocery Stop&Shop has its "Guaranteed Value" house brand that sells for 2 bucks a can every day. It's not great coffee, but it does the job.

I do have a Krups grinder and splurge on beans rarely, using Mayorga, Starbucks, and Dunkin in the past. Of course I like these better, but cannot fit this into my budget often. As for green beans, I've had fresh roast a few time, but have never done so myself. Too much like work.

...but its fun work. Especially with all of the coffee bean chaff flying around during the roasting process, and getting in your hair and... wait a second... I don't have any hair... well anyways, its fun work
