title_body: Coffee choices for Zombie Apocalypse
upvoted_answer: Freshly roasted beans start degrading after a week or so. Maybe buying cans of beans - ground or not - would be your best choice for drinking not so great coffee during the end days. Check that they "vacuum pack". Maybe that helps.
  
  I would make another choice: properly stored green coffee beans can last for year. Then I would roast it (your going to have filled propane tanks, right?). You can roast a lot of coffee from one 5 gal propane tank. 
  
  That is my selected choice and I am prepared.
