I have a storage cabinet almost completed dedicated to my coffer storage. If no power, I will build a fire but I will not run out of coffee. The world is not ready for me with a coffee headache.

Drinking a cup right now. Hunny can't understand why I can drink it all day long. . .

24 - 2lb 7 oz containers will last me a year

24 - 2lb 7 oz containers will last me a year

That is less than 6 months for me. Love my coffee, 1 to 2 pots a day.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I have lots of coffee in many forms. Enough to last me and my family about 30 months, so I would be able to trade some..... Maybe?

 

[DrHenley]

I could live without coffee, but why would I want to? My son told me I was addicted to coffee, and I told him no, that's not an addiction, it's "A Magnificent Obsession"

i wont trade or hand out coffee.in a wrose case scenario

 

[Dani]

I'll have to show hunny this thread, just to let him know I am not the worst case out there. . .

 

[lonewolf]

I store 6 large bottles(200g each) of instant coffee, that will last us several months, we have several packs of tea-I don't particularly like the stuff but will drink it in an emergency, once that's all gone i'll drink water.

 

[Mountain trapper]

I don't like coffee, don't even know how to make it. The wife drinks tea. I drink water.

 

[jimLE]

i have tea bags and instant tea.each is over 2 years old.i wounder if any of it is still good.seeing how it aint properly stored

 

[Brent S]

Yeah coffee is right up there with storing toilet paper. I don’t want to run out of either. Just remember the oil in coffee will go rancid so it only stores for for two to three years. I don’t know about the freeze dried stuff though. I had to switch to half decaf a while back and make it very weak now. That way I can still sip on it all day and not get the caffeine jitters. Could I live without coffee, yes. But why would I want to.....

 

[jimLE]

Morning's without coffee is like breathing without air.one without the other simply don't work for me.

 

[lonewolf]

nothing will last forever, not even coffee post SHTF.

 

[jimLE]

unless you got your own coffee plants.even then.a person needs the land for them.

 

[lonewolf]

cant grow coffee here.

 

[Maverick]

Here, we can brew up some pine tea, we have an abundance of it

 

[lonewolf]

pine needle tea is a possibility, although I believe there are some natural chemicals that occur in it and prolonged use is not recommended.

Paul, that's the Yew needles like the English Yew, Norfolk and Ponderosa Pine that are toxic, pine needle tea is actually good for you.

 

[tmttactical]

It is my firm conviction the my daily coffee consumption has saved the lives a of many a poor fool.

I was actually referring to pine needles from pine trees that grow over here.
and the advice I was given still applies.

 

[DrHenley]

I believe all the pine trees that grow here are safe to make tea from. I have what I THINK is a Southern Longleaf Pine in the front yard. The only problem is that the pine needles are way too high to pick. I have to wait for a storm to come through to get some fresh pine needles.

Good topic Jim . I make a 12 cup pot every morning , My Wife will get 1 cup and I drink the rest . Usually finishing off the last as I drive to work . We also have a Keurig We use from time to time .
I like the strong stuff like Columbian or French roast black no cream or sugar .
My coffee saying is its got to float a horse shoe .
I keep a row of coffee in the pantry just in case , rotate as used .
