I opened a container of Folgers coffee this morning that the best buy date was 12/2021. The foil top was raised. The coffee didn't have that fresh coffee smell, same with the Community Coffee and chickry freeze dried package that I mix with it to have a bolder coffee. It expired int 2020, the package was still hard but it didn't have the fresh coffee smell. I mixed the two together, that amount of coffee gives me about a three month supply of coffee.
The brewed coffee tastes fine but has no smell. I'm not sure how much coffee I have stored, I'll have to go count the containers.
As for instant coffee, I have a supply. Yesterday we had to leave earlier than usual because my appointment was earlier. So I made a cup of instant, it had been opened but I'd kept the jar in the freezer. If that is all I have I'll drink it but its not great.
In the early years I lived in New Orleans I drank instant. Louisiane instant with Cremora. Man I loved that stuff, I think I must have had some coffee with my Cremora. When I married my ex he brewed coffee, none of that instant crap for him. That was 1978. I think that is the first time I every had brewed coffee at home. Back in the 70's coffee out was good strong coffee and I added cream. Cafe du Monde was my favorite and in the early 70's it was 20 cents a cup. No idea what it costs today.
I know that whole coffee beans retain their flavor longer than ground. But ground and instant is what I have and I'll have to go with that. In alas babalon the savored that instant coffee they found after not having any coffee for a good while. I'll remember that and be thankful for what I have.
