Never seen anything like this before

[gearchow]

Went to an estate sale and it seemed like the usual old stuff, but I saw this on the back porch:

That's over 20 of the large cans of ground coffee never opened. It was Sunday, so probably a couple of bucks a can. Sort of surprising that they were all there.

Scary

Very scary. They must have drunk a lot of coffee each day. I don’t think the shelf life is all that long.

 

[xiletero]

I would skip buying these irrespective of price. But if you try them, would be interested in your opinion. I now tend to use Italian Expresso machine....

They used to own a cafe or restaurant?

 

[mrlandpirate]

prepper ?

 

[Mick]

There is nothing wrong with stale coffee, dolled up with cream and........

Been there done that and enjoyed it late at night

If your 53' trailer stinks from the last load you hauled you can spread out some ground coffee and leave it for a couple of days and sweep it out. (works on other trailer lengths as well)

+2 restaurant owners... Yet if you look, there are green price tags, indicating retail not industrial purchase. Hm.

like @Alacrity59 said, coffee is a great deodorizer. I've friend who rents apartments and uses a lot of coffee before new tenants arrive to clear out the old tenant smell.

Get a can for practical jokes - dump it in somebody's toilet tank for a surprise flush!

Those tags are the estate sale tags. I didn't bother to look for retail tags or best by dates - I wish I had done that. There was also a room full of clothes, many of them still in plastic. Even the new stuff in this house was fairly old. There was nothing there to consider anything other then a oddly bent hoarder.

Like Mick said, vacuum packed ground coffee probably still tastes like mass produced ground coffee for many years still in the can. But I have maybe 20 - 30 lbs of my own coffee sitting at home. All green beans, but not much different to many folks.

Too late to do anything about them now - the clean out guys are probably wired though!
