Ive grown it at close to 30 deg south and sea level its hard to get it started and takes about 7 years to even start producing from memory but its possible places like SE texas or florida could have a coffee industry after collapse. sheell be right mate |

Of course, I mean people in the South who were being starved. I've always been told that anyway. . One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

(OP) User ID: 46797006 United States 11/22/2013 08:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Canned GREEN coffee beans Green Coffee beans have not been roasted yet, so you can roast them yourself when you are ready to enjoy them. Since the bean is not cracked yet, the shelf life is many years longer than roasted or ground coffee. Because these are canned with oxygen absorbers and food-grade desiccant packs, you can expect these to stay fresh for 20+ years. Roasting them is as simple as putting them in a pan over heat (stove, solar oven, camp fire, gas grill, etc.) or putting them under heat (broiler, oven, etc.). One of the most popular methods of roasting coffee at home is as simple as using a hot air popcorn popper.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26838298 United States 11/22/2013 09:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tim Rifat has it figured out and these are the coming facts: As the northern hemisphere gets more and more radiated, the middle class and the wealthy are going to buy uncontaminated food and water from the southern hemisphere, bidding the prices way up. Meanwhile, the poor will not be able to afford the expensive uncontaminated food and water, they'll be forced to drink and eat radiated food and water which means they'll be doomed to all sorts of diseases and problems. This is 100% certain. Uncontaminated food and water will be the gold and silver of the last days of man on earth. [link to www.youtube.com] The question is, how long will the above take to transpire?

User ID: 15256858 United States 11/22/2013 09:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great info! Thanks! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 542383 I guess I never realized how easy it was to do the roast yourself if needed. Yea you can even use one of those small coffee mills and hand crank em A friend of mine accidentally ordered TWO "nut roasters" from Amazon so he gave one of them to me. He bought it to roast green coffee beans and says it works great and it is not electric so it could be put on a grill or some outside propane cooking device like a Camp Chef stove. What a lucky gift I received. I have never bought green coffee beans but will now just to check it out. Thanks for the post. |

So far the Japanese varieties have done well surviving the temperatures. I may not have coffee, but I'll have my tea thankyouverymuch. If you live in the Triangle area, check out Camellia Forest Nursery near Chapel Hill and get you some tea plants.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 49060888 United States 11/22/2013 09:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | . . . there is a method for long term storage, unless you plan on rotating your roasted/ground coffee on a regular basis-eventually the coffee you have stored will become undrinkable. Or unless you live in the very narrow band of coffee producing countries that are 20 degrees on each side of the equator and 3,000 feet above sea level- coffee in a post-collapse society will disappear quickly. The answer is to purchase green coffee beans. These are the natural unroasted beans. There are many sites available on the internet where you can purchase anywhere from one pound to fifty pound bags. One advantage is that you will save 50% on your coffee budget paying anywhere from $5-7 per pound by purchasing green coffee beans. The prices of coffee have been escalating just as other commodities and the anticipation of future inflation on coffee is expected to continue. If ordering by the internet and paying shipping costs are to be avoided then you could also check your local coffee roaster in the yellow pages and inquire, they may sell you coffee thus avoiding the shipping costs. Most however will make you pay a small fee above their costs to account for their lost profit, it never hurts to ask though. Quoting: No Dhimmi Now that you have purchased a twenty five pound bag of beans it will arrive in a burlap bag, long term storage in a five gallon bucket and Mylar should follow your preferred method. You may want to store in multiple smaller Mylar bags for extended storage times. At this point the beans are not off gassing so vacuum sealing with oxygen absorbers is possible. Stored in this method your beans will stay fresh from 2-5 years until you decide to roast them. Some Columbian Estate coffees are actually aged prior to roasting and command premium prices.
