How's that "Tea-Party" working out for you?
One lump or two?

Rincewind53: GaryPDX: I may only have 1 year worth of food stored but I have 5 years worth of coffee beans vacuum sealed. It'll be like gold in the after times.

One of my favorite sorta-post-apocalyptic books (by Anne McCaffrey) involved human stranded on another planet making a guerrilla run back to Earth just to pick up coffee.

She clearly knows where people's priorities are.

I never much cared for McCaffrey, but that's a pretty damn good plot.

/I will stack the bodies of the dead around my bunker to protect my coffee.

FTFA: "It's how I stay away in the mornings and it's what enables me to do my best work."

You need more coffee.

Do you really?

I thought this thread needed some Star Trek: Voyager.

Hum don't like coffee, never have. I should by some unroasted beans and store them just to be a kill joy.

"Now Jim won't be able to have a second cup of coffee at home."

GaryPDX: ThisNameSux: GaryPDX: I may only have 1 year worth of food stored

Do you really?

Yes I do..lol. It's a pretty bland store of staples but yes, I do. A nice big stash of various seeds as well.

Probably wise. Most of those storing a year's worth of food don't do coffee.

Uhm, i'/m not seeing why the coffee production regions wouldn't shift, not disappear as the author seems to suggest

FTA: "Repent! The End Of Cheap Coffee Is Nigh!"

Just as well that I don't like cheap coffee, then.

GaryPDX: I may only have 1 year worth of food stored...

Why am I not surprised.

The only three shows I've seen advocate/pitch for Armageddon food are Art Bell, Jim Baker, and Glenn Beck. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about what kind of people buy safety seeds.

SwiftFox: Most of those storing a year's worth of food don't do coffee.

What are they? Morons?

Coffee is disgusting, so this news doesn't bother me.

Mr. Coffee Nerves: I wanted to store a year's worth of coffee but some sonofabiatch outbid me for the Pontiac Silverdome.

You should try picking up the astrodome, you could probably get it for cheap.

Bonus, Houston can import green coffee beans in bulk.

basemetal: They still make redbull, right?

How about Water Joe?

Where does the caffeine come from in these other beverages?

Off to go buy some Dunkin Donuts.

I buy safety seeds too. You just never know.
/I blame Harvest Moon

I never understood why people claim to enjoy something that I imagine tastes like the last little sludgey bits of a long bowel movement.

If you want a little buzz, there are more pleasant foods.

The aroma, not the taste, makes the flavor of coffee. Based on taste alone coffee is universally bitter (unless you add cream and stuff, but that's just for Communists), but the aroma can be divine which makes the drinking enjoyable.

hasty ambush: Where does the caffeine come from in these other beverages?

It's a byproduct from meth labs.

Barakku: The aroma, not the taste, makes the flavor of coffee. Based on taste alone coffee is universally bitter (unless you add cream and stuff, but that's just for Communists), but the aroma can be divine which makes the drinking enjoyable.

So just distill the aroma into a handy dandy food additive and put it in a cup of tea or something.

So you have never tried coffee, but think it's disgusting anyways?

SWEET. Second-age-of-Big-Agriculture, here Hawaii comes.

/could have fooled me, from the sheer number of coffee companies and sheer volume of coffee on the shelves around here
//but the point is, there's only one place in all of the USA that coffee will grow, and that's in Hawaii. The Kona region of Hawaii County is the most famous, of course, but small growers have been experimenting with growing coffee throughout the state. Just in time, looks like. We started by giving America its sugar rush...perhaps tomorrow we'll be its caffeine pusher.

You can buy emergency food supplies at Costco these days. I think they have enough servings to feed one person for a month, but they have a shelf-life of 10 years, so if you have a large family and/or you're as paranoid as Gary you can buy several.

Ok, Shooter McGavin.

I've tried coffee, but I've never tried the last little sludgey bits of a long bowel movement, nor do I ever intend to.

As TFA put it, "mountains have tops."

Why not move north/south?

Should I start growing coffee here in new england?

Well, you should be more specific next time... this is fark after all :P

///Hot?

I don't understand this irrational hatred of zombies. Is it really their fault they are dead? Why is it that whenever we see one we just assume they only want us for our brains? Could they not also appreciate a well toned set of abs? Are we so obsessed with stereotyping the undead that we fail to take into account their individual personalities?

GaryPDX: Yes I do..lol. It's a pretty bland store of staples but yes, I do. A nice big stash of various seeds as well.

Why?
