Answer by khem student
Get a french press with scoop for about $ 20-$ 40. On the press is cup measurements or dashed lines. Place three scoops of finely ground coffee for 2 cups, fill with hot water up to the dashed 2 cup line and let steep for 2-5 minutes with press resting above it to retain heat. Then press to the bottom 3 times, making sure to not let any grounds escape. Pour enough into your cup to fill it 3/4 full. Add a little less than 1/4 cup of milk and two packets of in the raw (or desired) sugar. I prefer adding 1/4 cup milk + 2 pumps hazelnut syrup+ 1 tbsp agave sugar syrup and topping with cinnamon. Good Luck!

Q&A: How do you make a terrific cup of coffee?
Question by qqtip2001: How do you make a terrific cup of coffee?
I use Dunkin Donuts ground coffee and so does my brother. His coffee is consistently excellent(by the way we have identical coffee makers), while mine is not. What combination of coffee type, ground, measurement and whatever makes for an excellent cup of coffee?
Best answer:
Answer by CofeeNate
Try running some vinegar through you maker a couple of times and then just plain water a few times. It could be how you are storing your coffee…the water you are using…the measurement of coffee…etc You will have to experiment a bit until you get it the way that you like it. You will get superior results with the whole bean vs. the ground. Ground coffee stays fresh for about 15-20 minutes! Try using filtered water vs. tap water, and don’t use distilled water. Two tablespoons per ‘cup’ is the typical measure of grinds vs. water.

I’m on my third cup of coffee and still tired?
Question by lauren b: I’m on my third cup of coffee and still tired?
Should I just take a nap? Is all this coffee bad for me?
This would make a total of five cups of coffee today,one at breakfast and one at lunch, vs my usual two.
It’s probably because this new coffee isn’t very good or something.

Lauren,
Our bodies have a neat way of making sure everything stays in balance. If you prolong what your body is asking for it actually worsens the effect of being off a regular sleep cycle. When you deny what your body is asking for, rest or a good deep sleep, there is a chemical process that takes place and it’s counter productive. Your body creates adrenaline to fight of fatigue, and you enter what we call the flight or fight syndrome. Then there’s just a nasty onslaught of hormones that our body pumps out to ‘help’ keep you awake. And when you do actually lay down to sleep your body doesn’t get the deep REM sleep it actually needs. If you have unhealthy sleep habits it can effect your work performance, attention span, emotions, and ultimately cut into your immune system making you more prone to sickness. It’s just a vicious cycle. So if at all possible, take a nap, and stick to a regular sleep schedule.
I however have to disagree about coffee being ‘bad for you’. Although, it is important to watch the amount of caffeine you consume in other products, especially if you may be sensitive to caffeine. Most people don’t know that a major source of their daily antioxidants is found right in their cup of joe. Neat huh? Depending on the coffee you drink and where it’s from Coffee can actually be VERY good for you.
I hope that information helps. If possible, I do suggest trying to take a nap, and after your rested then grab a cup of good joe.
Best Regards,
Authentically Angela

Q&A: What is the difference between all the different types of coffee?
Question by Mary: What is the difference between all the different types of coffee?
I’m thinking bout getting a job at a coffee/cafe shop but I don’t drink coffee/tea so I don’t know the difference between all the different types. Can anyone give me a rundown?
Also, I’m a dummy in the kitchen. Can you suggest any other basic kitchen skills I should learn before applying?

Answer by Sofiester
Americano: A single shot of espresso with about 7 ounces of hot water added to the mix. The name for this coffee drink stemmed from an insult to ‘uncouth’ Americans who weren’t up to drinking full espressos.
A Shot in the Dark: See ‘Hammerhead’.
Black coffee: A drip brew, percolated or French press style coffee served straight, with no milk.
Cafe au Lait: Similar to Caffe Latte, except that an au lait is made with brewed coffee instead of espresso. Additionally, the ratio of milk to coffee is 1:1, making for a much less intense taste.
Cafe Breva: A cappuccino made with half and half milk, instead of whole milk. The theory is that the mix gives a richer, creamier flavor. You should be aware, before trying this for yourself, that half and half is much harder to foam.
Caffe Latte: Essentially, a single shot of espresso in steamed (not frothed) milk. The ratio of milk to coffee should be about 3:1, but you should be aware that latte in Italian means ‘milk’, so be careful ordering one when in Rome.
Cafe Macchiato: A shot of espresso with steamed milk added. The ratio of coffee to milk is approximately 4:1.
Cappuccino: Usually equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and frothed milk, often with cinnamon or flaked chocolate sprinkled on top. Some coffee shops will add more milk than that so that the customer will get a bigger drink out of the deal, but that makes the coffee itself far weaker. Click here for how to make Cappuccino
Double, or Double Shot: Just as it sounds, this is two shots of espresso mixed in with the regular amount of additional ingredients. So, for example, if you were going to make a double hammerhead, you would put two shots of espresso into a coffee cup, and fill it with the drip blend, rather than the usual single espresso shot.
Dry Cappuccino: A regular cappuccino, only with a smaller amount of foam, and no steamed milk at all.
This is my other set
1. Decaffeinated Coffee
Decaffeinated looks and tastes just like caffeinated with most of the caffeine has been removed. Keep in mind the keyword here is ‘most’, as there is a little bit of caffeine in decaffeinated . So, if you have to restrict caffeine for health reasons, make sure you don’t drink too much decaffeinated as it can still cause harm in large doses.
2. Iced Coffee
It doesn’t always have to be warm for you to enjoy it. With the prevalence of iced , the coffee lovers can satisfy their thirst while indulging in their favorite cup of java.
Of course, it should be noted that iced coffee usually come in the form of a syrup. This is not to say that you can’t drink brewed or instant after it is chilled, but it will lose some of its flavor.
3. Gourmet or Flavored Coffee
There are two schools of thought behind gourmet or flavored kinds. Some people associate gourmet with the beans, while others consider the flavored to be in this category. But in actuality, many gourmet coffees use flavorings in conjunction with high-quality premium beans. So, when you take a sip, you become intoxicated with the best kind of coffee in the world.
4. Instant Coffee
What happens if you try to create brewed it in the microwave? Most likely, the resulting coffee would be way too strong to drink. You may even get sick because of the concentrated amount of caffeine.
That’s where instant comes in. With instant , a coffee maker is not required for your java. All you have to do is add boiling water, and within seconds, you have coffee that is ready to drink. Of course, be aware that instant is still very strong, even if it was designed for the microwave. So, definitely drink a lesser amount, particularly if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Answer by Zeke
Kicking Horse is very good. Any organic, fair-trade coffee will get a positive response for its taste and quality and you will be well liked for keeping the environment and fair practises in mind. Places that serve those coffees generally get a lot of attention from the 20-40 age group.
If you really want to do it right, you’ll purchase a bunch of french presses and a coffee grinder. Buying beans rather than grounds will produce better coffee and will make your restaurant look classy, trendy, and eco-friendly. Plus french presses produce much better coffee than standard brewers.

My coffee is always sour or bitter or never sweet enough. I heard France drinks their coffee very black and strong and I learned Italy drinks the cappuccino in the afternoon and no earlier. Why is my coffee so gross?

Answer by Alinka
1) Depends on the kind that you buy.
2) Depends how much coffee you use, put more, it’ll be stronger, less, it wont be as strong, can be just colored water.
3) Also, depends on how you brew it.
Every country has it’s own way of making coffee, but it’s not only country, almost every family has their own coffee traditions.

Has anyone tried the coffee made from berries a bird eliminated?
Question by Jaydens dads dominatrix: Has anyone tried the coffee made from berries a bird eliminated?
Its rare, very expensive, and supposed to be a real gourmet treat.
Best answer:
Answer by dipydoda
Actually, it isn’t excrement from a bird, but from a mammal called a Luwak (a relative of the mongoose). The Luwak eats the coffee beans, then it is collected. It’s cleaned very well before being sold for human consumption. It’s made in Indonisia and sells for about 160$ a pound. I did share a cup(25$ ) with 2 other friends of mine, it was very good, but I wouldn’t pay that much ever again (fun treat, and can say I’ve had it). You can find cheaper coffee that isn’t as good, but does the job.

Q&A: What kind of coffee you buy from the grocery store has the most caffeine?
Question by Joshua: What kind of coffee you buy from the grocery store has the most caffeine?
I drink coffee every morning and i usually drink Folgers but i want a coffee that has a little more caffeine, what brand has the most?
Best answer:
Answer by Tom ツ
The caffeine content of an average 5 ounce cup of coffee can vary from 40-150 mg. Two influencing factors are the variety of coffee bean and where it is grown; both can be affected by such things as soil conditions, length of growing season, and time of harvest. Even coffee grown in the same general region will vary in caffeine content.
Three more controllable factors are how finely the beans are ground before coffee making and the method and length of time used for brewing the coffee. The drip method, with fine ground, used in machines like Mr. Coffee, generally yields the highest amount of caffeine, ranging from 110-150 mg per five ounce cup. Percolated coffee is next highest in caffeine, ranging from 64-124 mg. Isn’t it interesting that many people say that brewed coffee tastes best? Instant coffee may be lower in caffeine averaging between 40-108 mg per cup.
Decaffeinated coffee, despite its name, does contain some caffeine, although only about 2-5 mg per five ounce cup
Here is information on caffeine content based on brew method
5 ounces of Drip Method coffee contains the most caffeine at 110-150 milligrams
5 ounces of Percolated coffee contains 64-124 milligrams
5 ounces of Instant contains 40 -108 milligrams
5 ounces of Decaf contains 2-5 milligrams
5 ounces of Instant Decaf contains 2 milligrams

Answer by zarreff
Its really the caffeine in it that makes it a good thing before a workout. Caffeine has been known for some time now as improving ones energy output during exercise. Athletes that drink one or two cups of coffee an hour before an event report improved performance. So the brand doesnt matter as much as how much caffiene is in it and how sensitive you are to caffeine.
