Food Storage: Coffee Long Term Storage

[@edbuyers]

It would be great to see some of your old sealed preps from years ago. In fact this video was back in 2013, it would be great to see you open it up and see if it is any good.

[@technician775]

Hi, we gave a lot of the food away during some disasters here and a lot to the local homeless shelter where they serve hot meals. All of the food items were still good after 4 to 5 years. I do still have some rice and beans along with some other items we can open. I will dig into the #10 cans we have and open some up and cook up a batch ! TY!!!

[@daval5563]

OK, I have beans I stashed over two years ago just in their Mylar bags they come packed in. They were stored in a dark, cool, and dry sub-basement and my experience there has been very good. The conditions really extend the shelf life of pretty well everything I have stored there. I'm bringing a large bag up today to "see". Cross my fingers eh? God I pray it's still good. Have a great one and good luck.

How do you tell in it sealed good?

[@Linda-kq8ef]

Oh I have about 9 of these old coffee pots, the only way we enjoy our coffee. I have learned so much watching these videos. Thank You !!!

[@technician775]

You are so welcome! but watch the expiration dates, coffee does not last much past the due date....

[@Qadashs_Rib]

Would storing coffee that is in plastic , be better if put in a mason jar ? Oxygen obsorber added or no ? I'm watching alot of your videos and learning so much more lol. Thank you !!!

[@technician775]

hi...thank you.....coffee does not store long term.....buy freeze dried coffee and transfer to a small mason jar with an oxygen absorber....best way to keep coffee

[@kuzadupa185]

When I store coffee, I do almost same steps but I fill the empty areas between the coffee bags with either rice or beans. Than i add my oxygen absorbers and close the lid, after applying a little food grade oil (coconut) to the gasket/rubber around the inside of the lid, which will make contact with the bucket top itself.

[@technician775]

hi...thank you for the tip!...good stuff!!!!!

@@technician775 fantastic to hear my friend

[@mesummika569]

Love it, I live by coffee. I have all those old coffee makers. I even have some old plug in ones from so long ago. But when I have had new ones break down nobody was laughing at my stock of coffee makers.

[@technician775]

FANTASTIC!...i do as well !!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@madeleencolon2340]

How i get one of thode old coffee makers ❤

[@stevenducote7466]

local flea markets...ebay...good luck!

[@handsomeandbrilliant6753]

In regards to a S.H.T.F event, An already dangerous world is that much more dangerous when folks haven't had their coffee.

[@ctmybones]

So true....LOL.

[@4TheBeeLoved]

Did you taste that coffee after 10 years?

[@stevenducote7466]

hi....oh no...we don't store regular coffee...freeze dried coffee only.....ty!....coffee will not keep once it has been roasted.....

[@angelissaa1819]

I’ve been storing coffee in mylar bags without oxygen absorbers is that OK to not use the absorbers?

[@technician775]

Hi, if the coffee is vacuumed packed, just leave it, i do not recommend storing coffee like this anymore. After contacting and having a long discussion with one of the big coffee manufactures, coffee continues to degrade and there is no stopping it. Kind of like corn when you grind it, the clock starts and you cannot stop it. I do suggest you put away some freeze dried coffee though. try all the different brands and buy some of that. Hope this helps..... The raw coffee beans unroasted will keep for a long time though. you will have to roast it though when you open the package, TY!

[@lesliegrier1058]

How many CC's are the absorbers?

[@technician775]

300cc..... storing coffee like this does not work, i suggest buying freeze dried coffee and storing that....ty!

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

A blast from the past!

[@technician775]

Thanks for hanging in there with me !, we have a lot of vids to make, just waiting for the new camera to come in !

[@boofuzzie]

On the coffee bags do I need to open bags a little or just as it is put into bucket? thank you

[@technician775]

Hi, thanks for watching, this storage technique will not extend the life of the coffee that much. When coffee is roasted, the oils come out of the bean and the clock starts to tick. You can slow it down some, but not stop it. We suggest freeze dried coffee, the taste may leave a lot to be desired, but it IS coffee! If you still want to store coffee like this, no need to poke a hole as the pressure relief valve or one way valve will let the oxygen come out. Hope this helps,

[@melodytenisch6232]

Thanks! Good to know; I'll do this so I can make more room in my freezer. Limited space but I stack a lot and rotate.🙏👵👍😊

[@technician775]

GOOD!!! Thank you for watching, we wanted to share what we found over the years, first hand,

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Punch holes in the coffee bags and wrap them tightly with rubber bands to squeeze the air out.

[@technician775]

if it is already vac sealed, no need to....and coffee will not last much longer then date on bag, after roasting, the clock starts and you cannot stop it....

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

Isn't that a federal offense to steal your consumer's coffee fragrance ... NOT! Just kidding. I love my coffee too, but I buy it in the jugs. Any suggestion for storing those or just leave them in the original container?

[@technician775]

Hi, i always have to look to see who is watching, maybe the coffee small police will be lurking LOL !!! ground and whole bean coffee that has been roasted does NOT store well. I suggest buying freeze dried coffee for long term food storage. just store it in the jars they come in. The coffee "count down clock" starts when the beans are roasted. Hope this helps, i did try the "Juan Valdez" freeze dried coffee...pretty good and the jar is sealed really well. TY for watching!

Been wanting to buy a butane stove. Any tips?

[@technician775]

hi, thanks for watching, I like this one, good and easy to use, at any local Walmart store in the camping section;www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Camp-Bistro-1-Burner-Butane-Camp-Stove/34761205about 20.00 the refill bottles are cheapest at sams club, but Walmart has them as well. TY!!!

How to store cup of noodles long term?

[@technician775]

Hi, DO NOT store cup of noodles, they are fried and will go rancid before you can use them. We pulled the video from our channel due to finding out about them being fried, I would look at another form of noodles and broth to make something quick and easy, thanks for watching !

[@survivaljulia9861]

How long would the tin can ones last long term? Love your videos!

[@technician775]

Thank you !!!... well when coffee is roasted and ground the clock starts and you cannot stop it. it will last a bit longer but not more than a year. I suggest freeze dried coffee, and coffee in a can will about as long as the expiration date. It deteriorates and you loose flavor..

[@survivaljulia9861]

Thank you so much,so I guess the roasted beans not ground are better .

[@technician775]

Hi, green beans, once you roast, the oils come out of the bean and the clock starts, I suggest freeze dried, I do not like the taste, but.......

[@JT-2012]

Based on experimentation, not more than a couple of years. The tops are no longer a metal seal but just a peal back piece of Mylar. I've tried everything to try to extend the life of coffee. Sadly, nothing has worked. Sealing freeze dried coffee only does a bit better. Your best bet is to store green beans and learn to roast them, or switch to drinking tea. I have sealed up thousands of tea bags.

[@technician775]

Thanks JT, much appreciate the feed back, great stuff to share,
