Ground Coffee - sealed, but well past the date!

Hi there, I have just discovered a couple of tins of whittards flavoured coffee at the back of the cupboard. The best before date on them is May 2008 :eek: (told you it was the back!) The packaging is a sealed foil package inside a tin, and they haven't been opened, but I'm aware that ground coffee has quite a short 'taste…

If it's sealed it will be fine.
My daughter spotted some Ground Coffee reduced from £7 to just over £1.50 a while back and picked me some up. I went back later and picked up 5 more.
It's BBF date was April 2009, we are on the 4th tin and it tastes just fine.

Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
