Baskets And Brew

Sweetie asked:


I got a coffee maker for Christmas, and although I like coffee, I LOVE lattes, and was wondering what to put in it to make it more milk-like and how much of whatever it is to add to the coffee, etc. I know nothing about coffee makers/coffee so any advice is appreciated. I would like whatever I add in to have no fat and very few calories if possible. THANKS!
how much milk would I add? and when would i add it in?

Party Animal asked:


I try making coffee, but it always taste like crap. How much coffee should I use on my coffee maker?

Monisha M asked:


So far in my coffee maker, I put in cinnamon sticks, cloves and add a little nutmeg before I brew my coffee, but i would like to vary it. I even have a recipe which uses fennel in, but have yet to try it, but what do you use to make a good spiced coffee?

And how do you make an iced coffee?

Dude asked:


Here in Austin, TX we have very hard water and my coffee maker has slowed waaaayyyyy down.
I have a Mr. Coffee coffee maker it cost me $59.00 and it was wonderful at first but now it is sloooowww.

It has a feature to let you know when the coffee is done…it beeps 8 times. But now, it beeps even though it’s not even close to being done.

Would it be better if I would use distilled water?

cleonevking asked:


I drink a ton of coffee. I need to clean my coffee pot often but what is the best way to do it? Lately I have learned that my boyfriend re-runs the already made coffee back through the coffee maker. I told him to never to do that again. But in case he reverts back to his old habbits what is the best way to clean the coffee maker? Home remidies or store bought I need something so my coffee can start tasting better.

littlemommyd asked:

groovygirl asked:


So, I’ve clearly been bad about cleaning my coffee maker regularly and not letting coffee sit inside for hours on end. Now I have a coating of dark, brown, hard, coffee residue on the bottom of the carafe. Problem is the carafe is designed so there is just a 2″ diameter hole on the top – not big enough to stick my hand in and scrub. It’s soaking in vinegar now, but I’m not seeing much progress. Any suggestions? Thanks!

sage asked:
