Coffee History–War Time Rationing

Colombia-SupremoI read recently an interesting fact about the diet of Civil War soldiers.  Soldiers of both sides were fed similar rations of cured meat similar to beef jerky but only bland and salty, hardtack which was a tasteless hard cracker, and coffee.  However, coffee was rationed not as a liquid but in green whole beans.  It was up to the soldiers to roast the beans, grind them, and make it.

During the War there were attempts to dry out coffee and condense it into a thick paste which enabled soldiers to simply add a spoonful of coffee paste to water.  This early form of instant coffee proved unsuccessful and unpalatable to the soldiers.

Where to store your coffee – the freezer, fridge or pantry?

Containerphoto_JPGThis is a popular debate among many coffee enthusiasts for some time.

The best place to store coffee is neither the freezer nor refrigerator, because they are moist environments. Moisture, and in some cases other odors inside the fridge or freezer will ruin your coffee beans or grounds. The coffee flavor will deteriorate.

Placing coffee in an air tight container protecting it from air, moisture, heat and light while keeping it in a cool, dark place will help preserve its fresh roasted taste. Thus, the pantry is the ideal location for storage far from its flavor robbing nemesis’.
