I thought I’d ran out of coffee and I can’t nip out now the children are in bed.
I’ve just come across some ground coffee in a packet at the back of the cupboard but it’s out of date by just over 18 months. Would you?

It shouldn't do you any harm unless its gone mouldy but it might not be as nice as when it was in date

Try it

Better still get some freshly roasted beans and grind them yourself

She can't leave the kids, they're in bed.

You could try pouring boiling water on it in case there are any germs.

I wouldn’t have thought there would be any danger or risk in drinking it. The grounds will just likely be stale and so possibly not very tasty.

It won’t harm you, if that’s what’s worrying you. It just might not taste as good as it did when it was fresh.
