Drinking Coffee From The 1970s

Ойын-сауық

I confess that this might have come from later than the 70s, but looking at it that doesn't seem very likely. Those "drinkups"...

    After remodeling my house I’ve learned that everything from the 70’s contains asbestos so maybe that’s the unique flavor.

    Cigarettes are invariably the chopped up shavings off the factory floor. Good tobacco is indescribably varied in its scent and flavor profile, and this is coming from someone who doesn't touch the stuff in any way. It's like saying someone doesn't like tea because they don't like Lipton.

    I opened up some Gevalia coffee makers that my mother received back in the 1980s and buried amongst many other unopened items in her basement (it should be mentioned she has a tendency toward hoarding). Gevalia used to offer a free coffee maker as an incentive to sign up for their coffee subscription if you had subscribed and let it lapse. I uncovered three different automatic coffee makes with carafes and one that brewed into either one or two travel mugs (with a switch to direct it as to whether you only wanted hot water poured into the right side or both sides . . . best not to get confused as to which side gets the hot water if you only set one mug under it). Best of all, each coffee maker came with two vacuum-packed, foil-packaged varieties of Gevalia coffee. Now, I'm not going to say it holds a candle to fresh-roasted, high-quality coffee (or even fresh-roasted Gevalia coffee -- I don't hate it, but it does seem to me to be designed to be inoffensive and accessible, rather than particularly notable, these days). The latest best-used-by date on the coffees was in 1989, and I discovered them in 2017. All but one produced perfectly serviceable, if not particularly spectacular, coffee. The one whole-bean package included did not survive in usable form. After grinding, the aroma was . . . wrong. After brewing, the aroma was "you have made a terrible mistake and now you need to vigorously wash this carafe after you flush this coffee down the toilet, immediately!" I assume vacuum-packing left enough leeway within the individual beans to allow some sort of aerobic or anaerobic activity to occur over time. Not salvageable.

    Paper mould is a plausible explanation. As one who hung out in second-hand book shops in the 1970s, there was usually an old chap smoking at a desk, and he may have had coffee too (or more likely whisky). A (very) few book shops offered their customers coffee. That combination would give me a powerfully nostalgic olfactory experience.

    Some of us from back in the 70s are still alive. Yes, we know to bloom. I learned to bloom from my grandfather who was born in the 1880s. Some of us bought freshly roasted arabica beans, ground them ourselves, and rinsed our filter papers. But there was a lot of rubbish coffee around, certainly.

    I'm curious about how much of that flavour was a result of the filter... old paper like that does rather retain moisture and you may have drank a very teeny tiny amount of mold, not enough to do anything, but a microscopic amount, yes

    Additionally, old paper smells the way it does because its constituents break down into other compounds, some of which are aromatics, including some related to vanilla. I'm thinking his coffee-from-an-old-book remark is due to those aged-paper aromatics being extracted into the coffee, thereby actually brewing old-book into and alongside his old coffee.

    Ground coffee was 'exotic' when I was small. My mum had an inkling from her housekeeping days. Warming milk. We drank it at Christmas, Easter and when good friends came round, to convince visitors this was how we lived. We drank Lyons Coffee. There was only the one brand, and we had an electric percolator which lasted forever. Everyone we knew drank instant so we were unique! The box and graphics were a throwback to adverts for 'Mellow Birds', 'Camp' chicory and 'Maxwell House'. We never ate out. That was my introduction to Coffee. This gift box is the kind of thing that sat in a suburban department store for two years, until some thirteen year old bought it for his mum as a birthday present..

    Enjoyed the video. After watching your video, I watched the current Melitta KZread video on their pour over method. It was basically the same methodology as your 70's packaging instructions, including non-rinsing of filter, recommending "finely" ground coffee, pouring the water in one motion (no bloom time) and best of all ..... the same red colored accessories. Hard to believe Melitta has not evolved since the 70's.
