Coffee, Where Art Thou?

    It’s a very sad day when you wake up to find that you have run out of coffee. Even worse when the depression sets in… You’re depressed and feeling down like the world is going to end. In your mind it has because what’s worse than finding out you’ve run out of coffee?

    I know what you’re thinking — I should have planned for that moment and had new coffee on its way right? Been there done that. I had ordered coffee about a week ahead of running out and of course my bad luck would kick in because that order is MIA. I won’t divulge much into it because I am not hear to bash a roaster or even get mad. Shit happens!

    So instead of letting those caffeine withdrawals kick in, I am drinking tea this week. Yeah, I said it. I am drinking tea.

    Until next time… Or until I get some coffee in this house. See ya!

    Really depressing. Fortunately, I have a bag of Guatemala beans frozen in two airtight ziplock bags against such a circumstance (roaster accidentally sent me two, so drank one, froze other).

    I know conventional wisdom is that freezing takes away from the quality of the roasted coffee, but I’ve read of experienced, reliable cuppers not being able to tell the difference (btw. fresh & prev. frozen beans) in a blind test. Or at least that it was quite subtle at most, if one’s done a good job getting all the air out and freezing right away in double layers of something air-tight.

    At least it was the case as espresso. So, I’ll be doing my own test. Whenever I accidentally run out of beans.

    I’ve also heard of decent results getting a big Italian espresso brand (like Illy) of vacuum-sealed beans from a local supermarket (even tho they’ll be old) and brewing them in an Aeropress with the conventional Aeropress brewing instructions and a low (175-185) brewing temp.

    Not as good as one’s freshly roasted specialty beans, of course. But supposed to be able to get one through a dry patch.
