If this box was sold for the 2008 holiday season then isn't the coffee already way past its shelf life?

I'm not sure if it's just this edition (repeated as people may like the 2008 edition) or if this is old stock but I ordered this exact item last year for Christmas and everyone loved it. We were trying each one to the point of overload. It's been a while now so I don't remember if the packaging matched this or not. Basically I guess I'm saying that the coffee was a good variety (most of them) and everyone enjoyed them, but I couldn't tell you what the expiration date is/was. The current one is cheaper and here: http://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Masters-Twelve-Coffees-Christmas/dp/B009LEI1UM/ref=pd_sim_gro_9

First thing I checked. The is fresh current stock. If I remember correctly, expiration was over a year in future.

Hi Jerry, We have expiration dates on the bags of Coffee Fool coffee if you buy directly from Amazon. If you buy through Amazon and we ship it out the coffee is roasted and shipped out within a few days. (Same if you buy direct from us of course) We have customers that prefer to freeze their coffee if it will be a while until they will use it. But is also keeps well in the unopened bag for a few weeks. So I do recommend you buy direct or through Amazon with us fulfilling your order. Thanks, The Coffee Fool

My recent shipment shows a "best used by" date of 4/2016. Also, my new shipment does not have a single damaged can! The cases were packed differently, so my assumption is that my prior negative review was taken seriously.

The box I bought about six months ago had an expiration date of 8/2014. That of course doesn't mean that a box you buy today would have the same expiration date.

Answer here...no expiration date on package. Coffee is best used the sooner the better,however I store opened product in sealed glass containers in cool dark place (pantry)until ready for use. It keeps for several weeks like this.

I received a new box in Dec '13 and I can not find any type of date on it. I do know that my last box lasted me almost a year (I do not drink coffee everyday) and every 'shot' was good.....

You need to ask where you are buying it from. I am sure the boxes have different dates depending when they were made.

Mine came packaged together in a box as a bundle and it came with a sampling of coffee, However the were both independently packaged inside the box so they could have been separately gifted. I ordered mine in September 2013 so unless the packaging has changed it should be the same way

I wouldn't buy it since it's already expired. I think it's great stuff, but it should not even be available for sale if past it's expiration date.

I'm not sure why it doesn't say on the boxes, but if you read their website it does say 25+ year shelf life.

What? Or Where? What is a suggestion of when it will retain it's same taste. I haven't had it go bad. Date stamp is on the bottom of the box.

It is the same product. It is not supposed to be offered for resale. I know of one person who ordered a bunch of product, then got overwhelmed by selling it directly and decided to let Amazon do it. That may be the case here. It's the same, coffee, packaging, etc. I'm guessing the people offering it are not making anything themselves, just letting go of inventory.

The use by date is printed on the package (look on the bottom of the can or the side of the brick). If the package is not open, the coffee is still good for 3 - 5 months after this date. If the package is stored in a freezer, the use by date can be extended more than a year. The last package I purchased had a use by date about 2 years in the future.

The coffee is vacuumed packed. As long as you do not open the coffee, you can store it at room temperature for quite a long time (year or longer) without the coffee losing flavor. I know most package material states it should be used in so many days or weeks after purchase. However, it has been my experience, with Starbucks whole bean and all other whole bean coffees, that coffee will retain its flavor and last much longer than stated on the package. Have had some for over two years without loss of flavor. Hope this helps.

Sadly, I can't support a 36% price increase, and then shipping on top of it (as it is no longer a Prime eligible product). This makes me sad as it was a decent price for a decent cup of coffee. And that price change happened in just the past two weeks.

I'm not sure what you are asking There is a expiration date found on the side of every box.
