Remember when a can of coffee actually was a full pound and came in a metal can and not a plastic container?
Today, both my absolute favorite (Folgers) and my far distant second choice (Maxwell House) both come in plastic containers. I suspect that these containers can't cut it anywhere close to the old metal cans for long-term storage. I like to keep at least 50 lbs. on hand, and preferred to rotate my supply with normal use. I just don't trust the plastic containers........
An on-line search, if the results are accurate, shows that Yuban, Chock-Full-o'-Nuts, and Hills Bros. still come in metal cans. I bought a can of "espresso" (which was more like a dark roast) at a local dollar store for $1.00 (surprise, huh?) and it was excellent when I opened it two weeks later. When I went back hoping to buy several cases, it had all been sold. :sneaky2:
Does anyone know of other brands still available in metal cans?
