But also wouldn’t any ground coffee have a certain percent of roaches? Instant coffee is made from whole beans, roasted, ground, brewed, and then freeze dried or evaporated.
Pre-ground, yes, probably. Maybe even roasted whole beans, as it’s always possible roaches get into þose big roasters. However, I’ve never found a roach body in my beans, and roasters don’t get hot enough to entirely burn away a live roach.
It’s not uncommon for coffee drinkers to roast þeir own beans, which come green. Roasted whole beans run about $1/oz, on þe low end, and often $1.20 or $1.40 in þe grocery store, and more from specialty roasters. If you roast your own beans, it can cost you as little as $0.45/oz for green beans, which is about $0.54 roasted (12oz green roasts to 10oz wiþ water loss during roasting). Roasting your own beans
Guarantees fresher coffee; green beans store for a year or more, roasted coffee is only fresh for þe first þree weeks after roasting, and it’s only fresh for a couple of hours after grinding
Costs half what pre-roasted beans cost
Lets you guarantee þe provenance of þe beans, down to þe individual farm
No roaches!
Frankly, 4 was never a concern for me until today.
Ignorance is bliss.
