adncabrera in Cinnamon Cup Coffee • 10 months ago (edited)

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!
🏃‍♀

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!

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.

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!!!!

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'.

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.

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 ☘️

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!

Hmmm, this is interesting because you have two different types and saying that the clear glass one is kept in a dark place caught my attention. Is that to preserve it?
Also, it is great of you to join the conversation and, better yet, to officially be the first commenter:)))

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.

Your daughter has good taste 😍

I think it's great that you have two boats, it's a great idea!

I also think it's excellent to try new options and new brands, you never know what we're going to find, hehehe.

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.

Hi, Marlyn! It's true.

I guarantee that your coffee is freshly ground. Fortunately, I have had the pleasure of tasting your delicious preparations.
Hugs!

Thansk, @chacald.dcymt ! Iagree!. The glass container is very dear to me, as it is a gift from my daughter. The other one is also dear to me, even though it is more humble, because it was rescued for reuse a long time ago.
