CLOSED - Coffee Conversation: Event 72 (June 22 - 24)

qwerrie last month

My 5 cents.

For tea we have obtained special ceramic containers in Chinese style, their low height and wide neck are perfectly designed for in/out operations (not to mention the fact they are stylish - taking tea from them is very pleasant!). But coffee is another deal.

In our household we use this old Nescafe glass jar from 90-es, probably due to our love to old things. Dont get me wrong - we are not in love with Nescafe (nor the brand, neither the fact it is a huge transnational monster, like Amazon; I personally avoid to buy anything from such sellers and dont support their growth as a customer). But 90-es was a harsh period of life when ex-USSR citizens simply tried to survive and used all we could. This jar is kinda a silent witness of an epoch... the first touch to “luxurious” consumer life of the rich West / Europe, lol.

This jar is old and pretty much weared-out, you can see the decorative plastic film is teared up at various spots and peels off, but we simply don’t notice it - our eyes are used to it. And my hands also got used to finding this jar always in the same place, on the shelf next to the coffee grinder. Also, note the jar is flat and takes up little room; available room is rather a deficite at our house, haha.

We obtain coffee beans in economic 1-kg packs, and dont take too much experiments with different sorts of coffee. Well, sometimes we buy this and that too,-- but we know what we like, and most of the time obtain exactly the same packages. I have a _big_ cardboard box under the table to keep these packages, and when the jar became empty I simply refill it from the current open package. As simple as that!

PS. forgot to mention -- dont have any special jar for ground beans at all, lol 😛

Your coffee container is a reminder of the nineties.... well, you reminded me of them too because when the USSR disintegrated it was hard for us too, seriously the nineties were hard.
I really liked your glass jar, it is very comfortable to keep the coffee in.

The tea packaging is beautiful and reflects its oriental origin. On the other hand, I think the attachment to old objects is a very traditional custom...I also love old things...they make me nostalgic, @qwerrie

qwerrie last month

Also its a personal act of anti-consumerizm, which is an evil way actually... leading humankind to deadend, nowhere ☹️
Chinese have the most developed tea culture (which is no surprise). So, if your obsession goes deeper into that - you inevitably will be shopping at Chinese (web) tea stores and enjoy all their achievements, hehe. Lets celebrate it with one of the things Chinese did not have 😁😁😁 (as tomatoes arrived from America) - !PIZZA 🍕 🍕 🍕

This got me.

This Nescafe jar is a nice little guy; he's seen stuff. You couldn't fire him when there are so many coffee beans to be stored, and continually...

Take the case of this angry cow pot in our kitchen: it has seen some difficult times, so we keep it even though we're not crazy about it; it lacks the interest of your Nescafe jar. I thought I could store my coffee beans there, but as you can see, there's not enough room.

Hive !PIZZA, by the end of a day. 🐈🐈🐈 Or for the morning coffee!

We like having options. No specialty coffee here, though. Our friends know we love coffee, so we may get some as a gift from time to time.

A slice of pizza with my morning coffee sounds good. Thank you!

ppps. my wife's packages with spices sitting on a kitchen shelf look the same way! we also use clothespins :) but in addition, we also implement a dozen special clamps, they are very convenient... and basically all are taken - they clamp various open bags and tea samples :)))

Lets see if I have some yesterday's !PIZZA leftovers 🍕 🐈🐈

I love the looks of this old Nescafé jar. So rustic! It really can tell stories as you just look at it. I remember this kind of jars back in the days in my parents’ apartment, maybe in the mid 90s. This was a time that you really couldn’t buy a coffee, that was different from the two or three varieties that were all around in the shops. Nescafé was definitely quite an innovative product! 😆

qwerrie last month

Yes, exactly so. Why throw away old stuff that can tell stories? it is a part of history thats how I look at it. "Now they do not make it like back in old days anymore" (c) Today stuff became more and more disposable, from year to year... 😍 Only !PIZZA stay the same, as good as it was before. And even better!

mdosev last month

Pizza, at the restaurants here in Bulgaria is awful… thank god that I cook really good pizza in our pizza oven… 🤷🏻 😁

qwerrie last month

My condolences! my humble guess it is the natural result of a negative pricing competition dumping. Here in my city (which is big and tourist-friendly and lets face it full of money in some way...) we managed to discover two brands that still struggle to this sorrowful tendency - they dont shift their prices to the bottom, but compete with others with a decent quality = i.e. their pizza is still nice. 😳

My favourite canisters would be something durable, quirky and eye-catching, that seals coffee 100% effectively.

However, due to the nature of my present living space on a narrowboat, I have gone for these practical plastic containers. The reason is that, oftentimes the boat gets rocked and items fall off shelves.

If I'm honest though, I'd love to replace them with nicer ones, but it's just not a priority right now:)

I was today years old when I figured out what coffee canisters were xD

Those look really practical, though. I have a ceramic one and am always always worried it will fall and shatter, so at least you don't need to worry about that.

Yeah, like today, where I'm moored, my boat sways dramatically every time another boater passes by. People do not slow down and tick over as they are supposed to. If I had glass ones they would have shattered a long time ago.

Plastic is more superior when it comes to high humidity conditions, like a life on the water etc. Right? When we obtained some gear for travelling, we got some plastic plates and cups and still keep them. In travelling conditions they are much more practical than glass / ceramic ones.

millycf1976 last month

Plastic canisters are only good because it can't break. That's the number one deciding factor for me now.
There's little to no storage available, so if these fall off the shelf, then it's no problem :)

ps. this is totally out of this conversation, but...
in case you are curiuos? yesterday I've read about one of the three greatest nuclear disasters in USSR; an explosion at the soviet nuclear submarine in Chazhma Bay (near Vladivostok) in 1985 occurred during a planned upgrade and repair works of its nuclear reactor. You have the right to laugh at this, yes... Everything was going smoothly, but during this operation (I’ll simplify the plot a little) a high-speed boat sailed along the bay, and the wave from its passage slightly rocked the submarine at that very short moment when the technicians were doing a certain operation, installing the rods... it could not tolerate even a minimal deviation - but due to the shock, the moderating rods were slightly bent, and due to that technicians could not put them in place, and due to that the reactor quickly overheated -> following the nuclear explosion. Everything was kept top-secret, this is actually a very tragic story. This is what sometimes happens when another ship passes you on the water. 😳

Given your current reality, the option of plastic cans seems excellent to me!

I find living on a boat very exciting, although I don't know if I would do it, I'm very afraid of water!

Greetings!

millycf1976 last month

Thank you 😊

Hehe! I don't think you are as afraid of water as I am, but that forces me to be extra careful when I'm exposed to the water:)

However, I think being close to nature outweighs my fear of the water though, as it's a complete package. I cannot think of a more pleasurable way to live and see stunning countryside all year round, regardless of the season.😍

Well, yes, being close to nature is great!

However, I assure you that I am very afraid of water, once when I was young I was drowning, I didn't drown because they pulled me out by my hair, but I was almost dead, I think that left me traumatized, I can't imagine for a moment having to stay on a boat for more than a while!

durable? quirky? eye-catching? <- those containers do not match any of this criteria, me thinks!
but they are easy to access and take minimum of efforts to use (i.e. open/close operations). Ideal size for little storage of ground beans, too. MINIMALIZM, I would say.

Plastic jars are very practical for spaces where things are not safe. I can imagine you buying ceramic jars all the time, it wouldn't be very good for security in your space.😬

I leave you a delicious cup of coffee for this day.☕

millycf1976 last month

No, the only way I'd buy ceramic jars is if I could glue them on a shelf. That would require me to have the shelves at an ideal height for easy access and refilling convenience.

Hello, @rinconpoetico7
Plastic is something that is very easily available and most close tightly. Glass would be ideal, but you would need to have a rubber band that closes the container completely.

In truth, with glass jars it is more complicated to store coffee. Plastic is better and without so many complications, in my house we have coffee in a plastic container and it has been around for many years with us.🤭

What a beautiful place. The water and...the swan, it looks like a swan...give the feeling of peace. It would be an ideal environment to have a coffee in the solitude and peace of the flowing water, @millycf1976.
Where is?

millycf1976 last month

Yes, it's a wonderful way to live. I get to see how observant and alert swans are, and how protective the parents are of the baby cygnets. They are beautiful elegant creatures, but it is advisable not to get too close as some of them can be aggressive.
This location is in the Southeast of the UK. However, I'm a continuous cruiser (along 2000 miles of English waterways), constantly moving to different locations. I have a new 'backyard' every few days, and sometimes daily. 😍

No one can deny the versatility and practicality of plastic for so many things. I once kept my coffee in a reused plastic Toddy container, but I've evolved 😂 Wood is charming and durable; these "matrioshka pots" are kind of forgotten at home; they are durable, but not practical except for storing tea bags, as they don't seal tightly.

Hello, @millycf1976!
Hello, Coffee lovers!
I hope this Saturday goes very, very well and you can rest. Don't do like me, I'm working (but I'm escaping to have coffee and chat!😆).
So, these are my two coffee containers. The larger and more transparent one is kept in the cupboard, in the dark, although it is the prettier and more elegant one. By the way, it's time to refill it and I'm on that adventure because I want to try other brands. The small one is the one we always have on the counter, always at hand. There we put the consumption every two days or so.
That white container has been with me for about five years. I brought it from a friend's house because she was going to throw it away and I thought it was ideal for storing coffee in small portions to prevent it from oxidizing as much as possible.
I often buy freshly ground coffee, so this system has worked for me!
I'm going to get my cup!

They are practical reasons, in the end, like your decision to have plastic containers, because your domestic space does not support another solution that is more to your liking.
The large jar in my photo was bought by my daughter, and I find it beautiful and I love that I can store a whole kilo of coffee at once, but I have read that coffee must be preserved from light to avoid degrading its quality, so I keep it at the bottom of the cupboard.
The small jar is handy and takes up little space on my kitchen table. It closes very well and preserves the aroma and protects from light. It is a recycling action, I like that. Point against: it is plastic.

Yes, that's an important factor because it's great when you can empty an entire packet in the container at once.

preserved from light to avoid degrading its quality

I know this to be true for other things such as natural oils, so I would not be surprised if it's the coffee case too. It sounds like a legitimate point.

Ah my mom has one like that (the large transparent one) @adncabrera. They remind me of home <3 and they're super practical. The white one seems practical too!
Gotta say, I completely relate with your struggle.I just get this super antsy feeling when the canister's empty.

adncabrera last month

Hahaha... Anxiety is the right word. The little one is ready to be filled again.
I usually buy coffee at a small store in the local market. It is freshly ground coffee and not always of the same quality, as it is not very standardized. Apart from that, I consume some commercial brands, almost always the same, but I must confess that having joined this community my appetite for adventure has been whetted, so I have started to look for a good coffee for every day, but different from the ones I usually buy. Thus, my container has been emptying!!!!

qwerrie last month

not always of the same quality, as it is not very standardized

that is another side of this coin - handy production, I guess. to me it is a plus, a sign of analog rather than digital production. (Well, to some extension...) I prefer to support and vote for human hands rather then robotized production - even tho it means 'less stable standard'.

adncabrera last month

Thank you for stopping to consider my argument, appreciated @qwerrie.
I agree. Human labor is valuable and we must take great care of it in an era in which everything tends to be standardized, mechanized, globalized, etc. However, coffee picked, roasted, ground and packaged by human hands can also offer standardization in its quality. What about coffee production in my local environment? Many producers have become careless with what they offer to the local market. Coffee in my country is expensive for the bulk of the population, which is very poor. Half a kilo of a good industrial coffee, produced in the country, can cost more than four dollars, and a coffee produced by artisans can cost three and less than three dollars. Paradoxical, isn't it? Because that artisan coffee should be more expensive. That is part of the economic distortion of our country. But the point is that, because of this, the coffee produced in this way has become in many cases an unpalatable coffee because, although where I buy it they usually take care of their product, from time to time I have bought coffee that is simply burnt, or that is so bad that they have added sugar to it.
When you stop very early for work and you aspire to wake up with your first cup of coffee sometimes you don't want those surprises.

qwerrie last month

Disproportions, that is. A humble label.
Here 1kg of coffee costs 11-16 USD at least.
Lesser packs and more 'branded' ones cost much more.
I'd be happy to obtain artisans-created coffee; one can assume that there would be some rivalry and competition between locals ... as usual - some would proved cheaper prices, some would aim at a better product... Heh. There is opinion that capitalism is evil -- but mankind havent invented anything better, at least that is the perspective we see from today.
Have a nice day, and coffee, with or without !PIZZA ☘️

adncabrera last month

I am of the same opinion, and I would only add some social counterweights. That discussion could be a long one. Just so as not to leave this little dialogue without feeling that I have failed to say something very important: I believe that my country has not known how to deal with its wealth (and has often been hindered, and not always from the great economic orbits of capitalism). Good coffee and excellent cocoa have been grown here since the 19th century. I would like to see by now many people producing based on these products. Prosperity of the production that is reverted in education and social welfare. I see a lot of poverty instead.
The good news is that there are many entrepreneurs doing interesting things.
Have a very happy Sunday, @qwerrie. It has been very nice and interesting chatting with you! Thanks for the pizza!

Is this jar has a 'darken' glass, or its just my imagination?..
I am in love with such sort of glass (and mirrors), - I behave myself like a moth to a candle when I see a jar made of such 'darkened' slightly shiny amalgamated glass... especially if it has hexagonal shape. This is some kind of fetish for me, I don’t know why.
☘️ Well, anyway. Minimalistic and enjoyable jar you have!

marlyncabrera last month

Both jars do the job; the one on the right is less pretty but more effective because it protects the content against the light. I like keeping coffee in small portions, too, but when we're expecting guests, I ground what we will use during the day as soon as I wake up, just in case we have a power outage.

I love your coffee container. It is really nice. Handwork has a warmth to it that always makes experiences intimate, even one as everyday as storing coffee. I love the ochres and blues in the ornamentation with the Spanish pottery's classical motifs. A beautiful handwork.

Looks very artistic! It is a great thing that you managed to transport it from Italy to your home, intact of course! Does it have some type of sealing on the lid, or is it just free standing one? Coffee doesn’t like air quite much and canisters that have some sort of sealing preserve the beans fresh for longer periods of time.

Very good morning, happy Saturday.
I keep my coffee in containers that guarantee its flavor and smell. These are ideal, plus the rubber on the lid allows for vacuum sealing and this detail allows the coffee to last for weeks without losing its properties.

Sometimes when for some reason I buy a lot of ground coffee, I keep half of it here and the rest I seal very well and freeze. The cold also maintains the flavor and smell, as long as it is very well closed.

I guarantee it, @millycf1976 ...I don't like emptying all the coffee...because even though the container preserves it, opening and closing it every time you go to make coffee takes away its properties.

I don't have a canister for coffee because getting coffee in my country is quite expensive so I prefer the 1.5g and I love it because it helps me to know the quantity of caffeine I take on daily basis.

Today we will talk about the jars or, as we say at home the pots to store coffee, I like those beautifully decorated porcelain or ceramic ones, but, there is a detail, at home they always break, if it is not my husband it is my children🤦😬, reason why I decided not to buy them anymore!

So instead of them I decided to buy plastic, this one has with me a few years, I do not know exactly how many but, I think it must be about 8 years, it is transparent with purple lid, although it has already turned brown because it has been stained with coffee!

Maybe in the future I will buy again one of those that I like, but for now, I'm happy with the one I have!

Plastic containers often have a good sealing lid, which helps to preserve the qualities of coffee better. The braking part is another good advantage of the plastic. Sadly, it becomes yellow-ish with the time and you cannot do anything to make it look fresh again. That’s why I prefer glass containers, but the breakability problem comes again… 🤷🏻😁

Excellent Sunday conversation, coffee lovers.

Today I come to comment on the container where we keep the coffee. In my house we always buy ground coffee, this way we only prepare it and we don't have much more work to do. To store the ground coffee we use a plastic container, I have already commented in other publications that plastic is more practical and safe for storing coffee, although ceramic and glass are elegant and much more striking, however, fragility is their weak point.

The container that I show you has been in the family for several years and that is why it is somewhat deteriorated, my mother is one of those people who find it difficult to detach from things.🤭

This has been my answer to the weekly conversation question.

An excellent start of the week with lots of coffee and success.☕

I always store my coffee in the original plastic resealable bags, that have a CO2 valve on the back. The bags are 200 grams which means that coffee is consumed in about a week after Inopen the packaging.

I also have a glass canister that seals quite well, and I use it when I buy 1 kg bags of coffee. Then I fill the transparent glass container with beans… it holds approximately 250 grams if beans.

I just love its clear walls that allow me to see the beautiful beans. The drawback is that I cannot pull out the excessive air, but one day I want to buy an automatic vaccum container like this one:

But I do like your coffee canister. It looks elegant and even though you can't vacuum seal it, the lid looks like it does a good job.

The lid has a silicone ring that keeps the canister sealed, but I want to remove the excessive air too.

I always liked clean and simple looking tools, so that’s why we bought this jar. I think that we bought it for storing various seeds for cooking, but now it is dedicated to coffee.

They are convenient and you can rid of the excess air which remains into the packaging. And when the coffee is just 200-250 grams, then it’s definitely not gonna spoil. 😁

marlyncabrera last month

Hey, coffee friends!

In 2006 many things happened: among them, I rented a small apartment in the center of the city. Remodeling and equipping the kitchen was, although modestly, very exciting for me. An important part was buying the kitchen utensils and accessories, as I wanted quality things that were not too expensive and that I liked very much--because keeping my things for a long time is usually my plan--. I still have most of the stuff I bought; other things I have given away or left at my father's... When my husband and I moved in together, we realized that at 50% or so, we had two of everything, including two coffee canisters: mine was stainless steel with a rather sober design. In this old house we live in now, my husband's coffee canister is much better, as it has a more traditional feel.

He bought it at a Starbucks somewhere in Japan about 14 years ago. As it had some sentimental value to be considered, this was the one that was left in our kitchen, and my old coffee canister was left waiting in the cabinet like a player on the team's bench, but it's OK; I'm using it to keep my tea leaves.

Had I had the opportunity to buy a coffee canister in Japan, oh, you can bet I would've bought something with an artisanal feel, but I've grown quite fond of this little Starbucks buddy.

I think I was a little late to participate this time 😃.

In Cuba we have several names for the container where we keep the coffee, 'pote', 'pozuelo', and even in cans and glass knobs..... any place is a good place to keep it! The other day I was talking about the names of the containers with @chacald.dcymt, well, she in Venezuela had more names than mine to refer to those containers.

I currently have it stored in a plastic (pot), which used to be an ice cream container, a 'pozuelo' that brought a rich chocolate ice cream, and I didn't want to throw it away so I reused it after emptying it (very fast it emptied by the way) and for now I keep my coffee in it. Here I show it to you.

The same as always

11 years ago I moved from my mother's house to a rented apartment with my boyfriend. We started a new stage of our lives. Many things in the house were orestadas, others were given to us as gifts. Among those gifts was a set of kitchen containers in which I keep rice, salt, sugar and coffee.

Since then this is my coffee perol. It keeps all the week's coffee preserved. Something I do as a hobby, is to buy coffee in 250 gram packages. It doesn't matter if I buy 1 kilo, I divide it into small packages so that it doesn't stay out of its package for too long.

The measuring spoon is a white spoon that I took for its large size and because it fits inside the container when it is time to cover it.

As long as its useful life allows it, the blue-lidded perolito will be the coffee container, the same as always...
