I have been thinking a lot about coffee storage lately. How is the best way to do it? Vacuum sealed ground coffee? Whole green coffee beans, vacummed sealed and roasted as needed? Instant coffee?
Surfing around the internet, I found this thread on the subject. We drink about 2 to 3 pots of coffee a day, which translates into about 3 - 2# cans a month. What we used to call a 2 pound can now has 29 ounces, but I still refer to it as a 2 pound can. Just as I still call a 750ml bottle of liquor a pint while it actually only has 12 ounces. But I digress.
From the thread it appears both instant and regular ground coffee, kept in a cool place in their sealed containers, is the way to go. I'm going to start setting aside some of both, hopefully never to be needed but there if they are.
I found this on Amazon, it works out to $6.50 per pound which is a very good price. With 2 cans you get free shipping, so I'm going to be ordering a couple very soon!
Over on The Ready Store Blog today, there is a post with some good basic info about how to navigate using the Stars, Sun or the Moon.
