Expired coffee, is it still safe to take?
hi, i have some ground coarse coffee beans, from starbucks, its a guatemalan one, i just wonder if it still safe to take it, it been expired since dec 30 last year, if its safe, how long should i still keep it, bec me myself is not a heavy coffee drinker, just to let you know, i store it in an air tight container for storage, thanks.... =)
Answers:
While it should be safe to drink, the quality will have lowered considerably. Best way to store coffee is whole bean packed airtight in the refrigerator. I have heard of freezer .. but not sure about that. Store ground coffee airtight in refrigerator as well.
Since you are not a heavy coffee drinker, I would purchase coffee in single-pot size vacuum packed bags. Keep two on hand.
<>Try it. The worst that will happen is that it will taste stale or flat.
It is OK, just not as good as fresh. The coffee may be weak or bitter.
Expired? What? 5 days? Screw that, send it to me if you don't try it! It can't be that bad...
won't hurt. give it a try. it might make you burp but it won't kill you i don't think. well it isn't poison i don't think.
Yes, it is safe to drink. It may not taste that great, though.
its okay, its just not as fresh and tasty. it wont kill you.
no
