Everything to do with Coffee

That sounds very interesting. I’ve always liked regional coffee additions like how they do the chicory in the South.

Trying something new this morning. Went to the Wacipi ( pow wow) yesterday, and one of the vendors was selling this coffee with pinion seeds in it. All flavors had a toffee r cinnamon smell to them.

I had to try one.. brewed a basic pour over and it has strong notes of toffee, and cinnamon on the tongue. Almost like I've been dipping my cookies in my cup all morning.

Pretty awesome. Ill have to cold press some for the wife.

I've been wanting to try some anaerobic processed coffee for a while and finally found some locally while at a brewery. The brewery also roasts coffee and makes cold brew in cans.




It has a pleasant fruitiness while not being over the top.

I picked up a Orea V3 dripper. I dialed in my recipe for medium and darker roasts but am still working on light roasts. I'm losing all acidity when I brew a light roast in it.

What is everyone's preferred way of storing coffee?


I've been portioning the beans in vacuum sealed bags and then storing them in a cabinet. When I open the vac bag and put it in a mason jar and scoop out of there. I generally have 2 or 3 mason jars of different beans going at a time which is about a week or 2 worth of coffee for me.

I picked up 5 lbs of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from a local roaster the other day. They give a discount when you buy 5 lbs at a time and it is enough out of the way that it makes sense to buy 5 lbs at a time instead of 1 lbs bags. It is also a coffee that I really enjoy so that helps.



The guy was pretty generous when he bagged it and I ended up with almost 6 lbs.

It was time to bag up more coffee and I noticed I was running low on food saver bags so I decided to look for other options.

I ended up buying actual coffee storage bags with the 1 way valve on Amazon and it is a way easier process. Add coffee, seal bag, squeeze out the air.



I opted for 8 oz bags but they also had 12 and 16 oz bags and a rainbow of different colors. The bags I bought are 0.54$ each

I already had an impulse sealer so it made the process easy and not as expensive. Not that impulse sealers are overly expensive. This is what I have. It most likely came from Amazon.

ford I haven't had any issues with a bag losing the vacuum. From my understanding most of the co2 is off gassed in the the first few days after roasting. I don't bag it for at least a week after roasting, most times it is 2-3 weeks after roasting so most co2 will have been off gassed by then.

Do these vacuum'd coffees off-gas CO2 over time... thereby kind of removing the vacuum in the bag?

Roasted beans contain many volatile compounds, so they don't age well at all. Simply pulling a vacuum on them to seal like you did extracted many of those volatile compounds as their respective partial pressures were trying to maintain equilibrium - artificially aging them a bit. Still, that's good for long term storage. Best bet would be to purge with nitrogen first, then pull a vacuum, then seal....in a metallic container. Most bagged crisps are metallic containers thanks to thin films of aluminum. Personally, I'm too lazy to care. I drink so much coffee it's not much of a problem anyway. When I do store, I either keep it in the sealed OEM package in the freezer, or put it in a mason jar in the freezer.

once the original bag is opened, foodsaver, like you. and we use fellow atmos storage containers for the beans that are on deck

I just store mine in my designated coffee cupboard in whatever bags they come in.

Ive read so much conflicting information on coffee storage, it seems in a "cool dark dry place" is the only fact that everyone agrees on.

I do have a book about getting the best cup of coffee. Ive never read it, maybe I should and report back if storage is covered in depth.

You have to try something when you buy in bulk.. I just drink it faster hahaha.

I got 5 bags from benoit around new years. All are still in the paper bags, all in my coffee cupboard, and all nearing empty. Are they as tasty as they were fresh? Nah. Would they be if I had vacuum sealed them? I don't honestly think so.

I use a mill as a pepper grinder. Wanted to see how tiny bits I’d get after roasting pepper in the pan and that roasting really elevated the pepper.

Sweet! Glad you like it :3
