Dare I?

[LuFins Dad]

While cleaning out the store closets today, I found a large box of sealed bags of Eight O’Clock Ground Coffee… the box is dated 09/07/08…

Hmmm. I mean, the bags are airtight, right?

[Mik]

Look for the date. It's probably fine.

I edited while you were posting. September, 08…

[Mik]

Only one way to find out. Apparently, it does not go 'bad' like molding or anything, but it can oxidize in the bag. Make a pot. Report back.

Your nose will tell you everything you need to know.

[LuFins Dad]

I’m thinking it will likely just not be very flavorful, which being the brand it is doesn’t say much…

[Jolly]

My experience would be just that...

[brenda]

I have no idea whether it will be any good. That's why I want you to make some, drink it, and report back to us.

Hey, science ...

[mark]

I would not even try it. Bin it.

[jon-nyc]

I would toss it once I saw the brand regardless of the expiration date.

Not quite true, if it weren’t expired I would drop it at the food bank

Wouldn’t coffee just lose its taste and become unpleasantly bitter but otherwise quite harmless?

Pretty much like coffee in every operating room I worked in.

That’s what I’m banking on. I figure this will work as a trial run for the post apocalyptic wasteland…

ZomDef in place, I trust.

That has been my experience ad well, but not in operating rooms.

Even if not edible, should still make passable fertilizer, no?

[Renauda]

Yes, great for the compost.
