I knew this would happen , you need gas to roast the beans

Coffee begins to go stale about 2 weeks after being roasted. You should buy green unroasted coffee beans and roast them yourself, a couple weeks worth at a time. Green beans are much cheaper and the quality can be far better then stale/rancid super market shelf beans. Some are very exotic, with real wild wonderful flavors.
I usually have between 20-30 lbs of coffee beans in the pantry. Probably about 5 lbs of tea as well.
Real good beans can cost as cheap as 5 bucks a lb

You likely will want to do the roasting outside. It makes a lot of smoke, and the thin hulls pop off the beans and blow around.
My dad roasts them in a whirly pop on his patio, over a small burner.
I use a vintage air corn popper sometimes. It works great. Hamilton Beach. I also use a propane burner outside, with a large wok, if I want to do a lot of beans. Stir constantly. I have also done them in the house, in a pan on the range, with the fan going

I gave up buying caffeine a few months ago and finished my last decaf about a week ago.
Tea for me.
I don't miss rushing to the bathroom in the mornings or a buzzing head at night.
