I had friends over this weekend and made coffee for them after dinner.
They poked fun at me for the way I store it. I have three airtight containers that each hold a pound of either beans or grounds. I keep them in the pantry where it's cool and dark, and I cut the label from the bags to put into each one so I know which brand I'm using.

Am I nuts, as they seem to think?

Fucking coffee elitists. Look, everyone has their weird little passions that they zoom in on. For some, it's about coffee. I've had great fucking coffee, and also gone to the lengths necessary to extract the best flavor, which meant roasting the beans myself from a huge pile of green beans that I split with others, storing in smaller bags with proper seal and valves to let gases out and keep light out, all stored at proper temps, and then brewing at temps ideal for the bean and roast.

Was it great coffee? You bet. One day I realized I was spending a shit ton of time and money on coffee that was better, but I did not think the extra time and money was worth it. I can make great tasting coffee using some easier to find grinds and beans, and brewing on the stove. No fancy shit needed.

I am as happy now sipping on a great tasting cup of coffee made with so much less time and money all because I can use that extra time and money in other ways, more important than fucking coffee.

Just my opinion. Coffee elitists will call me Satan. I don't fucking care.

I'm not an elitist. One of the barnds I drink regularly is Dunkin Donuts, for Pete's sake. I just don't like to waste money so I try to store it well, especially since I have more than one brand going at a time.

Satan!

I meant those judging friends of your were the coffee elitists. But since you called me Satan, it is pretty clear you were triggered by practical, down to earth coffee logic. You might want to sell your thousand dollar espresso machines and invest in something you can use after SHTF, like vacuum sealed coffee cans.

EDIT: All tongue in cheek of course.

EDIT EDIT (full-retard mode still enabled): I like Dunkin Donuts brand too. It is good shit. So is fucking McCafe, strangely enough. Yeah, I'm Satan incarnate.

Tongue firmly planted in cheek. Got it!

I have a French press that is designed for use on campfires, for when SHTF and I need some coffee. (Before it all runs out...)
