The organic ...They probably threw it out afterward. The organic compounds and volatile oils that make coffee taste and smell so good oxidize quickly - this is why coffee made from grounds exposed to air for a time taste stale, bitter, and flat compared to coffee from freshly roasted grounds. Once the flavor compounds and volatile oils are extracted from the grounds with hot water, they oxidize very quickly - a straight espresso shot goes from wonderful to unpalatable in less than fifteen minutes. Drowning it in water (americano or drip coffee) slows the oxidation, but you cannot argue that coffee sitting on the burner for four hours is anywhere close to as good as fresh-made. <br /><br />We haven't even touched on the issue of dairy products at ground-level (exposure to dust and environmental contamination) and out in the open day to go sour for as long as the art was exhibited. <br /><br />Why, yes, Alaskans are pretty serious about their coffee.
