    When I was in the navy we had weevils in the flour within a couple of weeks after leaving land. They added some fresh meat to the diet. Never did me any harm so I would continue to roast the coffee.

      Think most of us seniors have had a similar experience Stan, these youngsters need a good dose of toughen up.

        Yep, my family and I have lived and worked in some very remote locations in mostly tropical areas where fresh anything was a distant reality. Weevils and other creepy crawlies were pretty well expected to be setting up house in anything remotely resembling flour, rice, potato flakes, etc....

        Anyone who was particularly worried about them could pick them out after they were cooked and put 'em on the side of your plate...

          Same here Mal.....many years spent in remote jungles, mainly in Indo. Crikey if it wasn't for weevils one often wouldn't have had one's weekly protein intake!

              Well, I guess we can all agree they won't do you any harm - knowing that is half the beetle.

                It seems that this non issue is bugging some people.

                Cheers

                  All, I think via some of the flippant responses we are seeing via this thread people are ignoring the real threat here. Ninja cats are starting to stow away in random bags of green beans. Are any of us safe anymore?
