Baskets And Brew

Meg P. asked:


We were sitting outside on the patio and had a coffee cup on the arm of a chair. The cup fell and the coffee spilt. The coffee wasn’t promptly cleaned up and needless to say, left a nice stain. Do you know of any products or what we can do to remove a coffee stain from cement?

RK asked:


A recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of instant coffee but I only have regular coffee and don’t want to buy a whole can of instant for only 2 teaspoons. Can I use the regular coffee as a substitute?

Richard asked:


What does roasting do for the coffee?

I am thinking about juicing beans, to create a very strong cup of coffee, that does not have any burnt taste.

For this I believe that I should use un-roasted green coffee beans.

I have a lot of ignorance in this area though and need help and suggestions.

In the basement theres water all over the one spot near the pipes. like a pond and in the shower down there coffee filters, cigarette ***** and coffee, maybe even some stuff from the toilet is coming up through the shower drain into the shower.. it stinks too.. what happened?

rockability asked:


Whenever I make coffee it comes out to be either bitter tasting, or tasteless or too strong. Even if I buy starbucks coffees they won’t come out the same at home.

What am I doing wrong? The biggest nuisance is that my coffee often has a bitter taste.

I usually drink my coffee with sugar and cream and lots of it. And while I have cut down, I want to cut to black (I’m also dieting). But I prefer sweet coffee, not bland. Is there anything out there that provides sweet coffee without having to add the sugar and cream? Thanks!

Amaunette asked:


I just bought a 4-cup coffee maker to replace my broken Krups. The directions mentioned that, before making the first cup of coffee, I should run water through the system first. I did this, but even after a month of using the coffee maker every day, the coffee tastes like plastic. I’ve been using the same filters, water, and coffee as I did in my old machine, so it has to be the new coffee maker. How do I get the plastic taste out of my coffee?

bkstar asked:


Why does coffee taste so much better from a coffee house or, after dinner, at a nice restaurant? I want coffee at my office, but, I have never worked in an office where the coffee from the coffee pot tastes good. (And, I’ve worked at places where they brew a pot and also have the single servings) Seriously, what seperates a good cup of coffee from a bad cup?

Swaggie asked:


I have two coffee trees growing and they have heaps of berries how do I turn them into coffee I can drink? When should I pick them?

I am coffee producer at farm level. I have coffee washing industry. The problem is I do not know to whom I can sell my coffee.
