Stupid fights....

[peejay 327]

I got mad at Neil the other night because he burped really loud and drank some beer when I said I wanted to have sex

At least he didn't fart.

hide the coffee so he can't make coffe until you're awake and tell him where it is

At least I'd be guaranteed one cup....

We keep our coffee in the freezer. If I bury it in the freezer, he might find the ice cream!

the freezer? he makes frozen coffee? do you really hide the ice cream?

coffee stays fresher longer if you keep it in the freezer.. we are talking about the coffee granules though

oh ok, i was thinking after it was made. i was gonna say "he's gotta be canadian"

Yes.... the ground coffee is kept in the freezer... stays fresher that way, just as Marilyn said. And yes, I do hide the ice cream... not all of it, just my Starbuck's Java Chip.

Storing Your Coffee

Up Always buy fresh roasted coffee. Even suppliers like Mr Cappucino and West Roast Coffee can only provide you whole bean coffee that's been roasted within a week at best. There are very few roasters that can provide coffee beans roasted within two days. Whole bean coffee keeps the longest. Yet it only keeps for fourteen days in an air tight container. Ground coffee expires within three days, therefore grind as needed or as early as the night before your morning brew, which is also a good habit . It is a great routine to grind your morning coffee the night before and leave it in a sealed container. Never store your coffee in its original bag. Transfer your whole beans immediately into a ceramic or glass container with a rubber seal and preferably one that does not allow light through it. Enemies of storing coffee are air, light, heat and moisture. STOP freezing your beans! Never store your coffee in the freezer, especially the refrigerator as this develops moisture around the bean. You may store it in the freezer if you intend to keep the beans for over two weeks but no more than 45 days and ONLY if you intend to take it out of the freezer ONCE. Each time you take it out and let air into the bag, you have compromised the seal and the moisture will deteriorate the flavor.

The age old question, and also our number one question asked at our weekend coffee shows. How shall I keep my coffee, in the fridge, or in the freezer?

There are two schools of thought here, I'll share them both with you.

First and fore most, keep a weeks worth of coffee in an air tight container, such as a Tupperware or mason jar or etc, at room temperature, in your cupboard or pantry. Keep any excess coffee, that amount that you will not be using in the next week, sealed in an airtight and moisture tight container in your freezer, for the following reasons:

The first school of thought: Your fridge (if it's anything like mine) tends to sometimes have less than desirable aromas contained within it. That leftover meatloaf that was left a little too far over, those fried onions, that science project in the back, all can be quite aromatic if not kept under control. Coffee absorbs aromas as it stales, in the same fashion as baking soda. If you leave your coffee next to that science project, over time, it will start to taste like that science project in your cup, no matter the container the coffee is held in. Result: The fridge is not the place to store your coffee.

The second school of thought: your freezer circulates moist air, and moisture damages the flavor oils in coffee. Correct, hence the moisture tight container for the freezer. Freezing the coffee slows the staling process that much more than the fridge. The closer you can get to keeping your coffee to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the better. So the freezer is the place. Just keep it air tight, and moisture tight. A freezer bag works well, two freezer bags, even better. But...

Remember to keep a weeks worth of your coffee at room temp. Never use (grind or brew) frozen coffee. Once your coffee comes out of the freezer, it needs to stay out of the freezer. Repeated freezing and thawing of coffee will damage the flavor oils. Put your excess coffee in the freezer, and leave it there. Once that weeks worth comes out, it stays out until it's used. Another way of putting it, your coffee should only be frozen, and stay frozen ONCE. Take out a weeks worth at a time, and draw from that until it's time to bring more out.

We went shopping for a gift for his niece. I saw a jacket I like but I couldnt find her size, there was a man next to me who was also looking for the same jacket and he has one in his hand. As I am looking for the jacket, I tell my husband "I really love this jacket, but I can't find her size", the man next to me responds "Are you looking for a 6?". I said "No, I'm looking for a 7 or 8". We left the store and my husband seems very angry, I ask him whats wrong and he says "why did that man ask your for sex?"

Not you Marilyn. It was in response to the TMI comment.

And it says do not refreeze grounds or brew frozen grounds. Not sure if you do or not. You keep calling them granules which is what instant coffee is called. Not sure if that can be frozen or not....
