You Put the coffee beans where?

You pulled the trigger and purchased those coffee beans you have always wanted to grind and brew yourself. You spent the additional $5.00 for express shipping.
   Now all you have to do is check the mail box every day.
The days pass by ....no beans.
   Where are my coffee beans? You ask yourself on day 5.
As you walk to the lap top to send a nasty e-mail you stop at the freezer to get your next best loved drink.
   Your eyes glaze over, your hart skips a beat. There they are hard as a rock and covered with frost.
Who did this? You say as your trembling hand clasps the $50.00 frozen block of Central Americas finest coffee beans.
   A voice from the other room answers. Did What? You reply, put my coffee beans in the freezer!
That voice in reply says, I did, I wanted to keep them fresh for you.
You take a deep breath....What to do? ..What to do?

Moral to the story.... Don't freeze coffee beans....

Climate change and general weather unpredictability are one of the driving forces in the roller coaster ride coffee prices are having and will likely continue to have in the foreseeable future. Perhaps second only to the never ending political unrest in many coffee growing regions.

With the environment in the news lately. Here is one you didn't see coming. Used coffee grounds are very good at storing Methane. Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel. The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide. So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...
