Quoting: KoFFee_ Coffee skyrockets as weather affects crops The price of coffee is skyrocketing on speculation that Colombia’s harvest will be smaller than expected for the fourth straight year. Coffee for December delivery jumped 10.6 cents, or 6.5 percent, to finish at $1.7365 per pound. That’s the highest level since early August. Although Brazil’s coffee crop appears headed toward a robust harvest, Colombia’s crop was hampered by heavy rainfall that caused delays earlier in the season.

Surprisingly, Meijer brand Columbia beans are pretty good, too. A 12 oz. pkg. was on sale last week for $4.69. The best deal is the supersize bags of coffee from Costco or Sam's. I'll probably be heading out there by the end of the week to see what they have. Will be keeping an eye on this to see what happens.

KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 1373078 United States 09/10/2012 07:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Most Expensive Coffee in The World Kopi Luwak coffee, also known as Civet Coffee, originates in the islands of Java and Sumatra, where the Asian Palm Civets (called “luwak” by locals) are found. These mammals reside in trees and feed on ripe coffee cherries. However, luwaks naturally do not digest the cherries’ inner beans and instead excrete them as whole. These beans undergo a unique fermentation process while inside the stomach, resulting in an entirely new coffee bean with unmatched flavors. Locals collect the still-intact beans in luwak droppings from the forest floor and then thoroughly clean, roast, and grind them just like any other coffee. The emergence of Kopi Luwak dates back to colonial times. In the 19th century, Dutch colonial plantations in Indonesia prohibited native farmers and workers to pick coffee fruits for their own use. However, locals quickly learned to enjoy their natal land’s celebrated coffee by collecting undigested seeds from the droppings of luwaks. The Dutch plantation owners soon caught on to the rare, exquisite coffee that locals named Kopi Luwak after the animals, and popularized it ever since. ValBeMar Kopi Luwak Kayumas is a full bodied coffee (almost syrupy) with a rich, heavy taste and hints of caramel or chocolate. Many describe the aroma as earthy, musty, and complex.

Iced coffee isn't so diluted that way when you use the cubes. Leftover coffee is good in beef stew, too. I usually add a little to the broth when I make it in the crock pot.

KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 1373078 United States 09/10/2012 09:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Answered my own question: Green Coffee Beans for Long Term Storage Did you know that ground coffee or your typical coffee beans won’t store all that long? When you think about the things that would be in demand during and after a collapse, you know that COFFEE will be near the top of the list! So, what’s the best way to buy coffee so that it will store for a long time? Buy ‘green’. That is, green coffee beans. What are green coffee beans? They are coffee beans in their natural state, before roasting! When you buy them in the store, they’ve already been roasted. I’ve read a number of articles over the years regarding roasting your own green coffee beans, and it apparently is not that difficult. I admit that at this time I’ve not done it myself, but it seems pretty darn simple. It’s all a matter of how long they’re roasted as to the resulting strength of the flavor.
