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?

Shelley G asked:


I have a portable coffee cup that I love, but it is beginning to smell like mildew. Yuck! It makes my morning cup of tea not so pleasurable. Anyone have any suggestions on how to clean it? I tried soap and water, but the soap smell just mixed with the mildew smell.

I just got a new espresso machine — but I have no espresso. Would it be at all feasible to use coffee beans to brew espresso, or is this useless? What’s the difference? If I end up using coffee beans, should I be using a light, medium, or dark roast?

jkixonia asked:


A coffee cup has two parts – the lid and the cup itself. The cups I am interested in have a layer of polyethylene to make them more heat resistant. I am looking for answers to figure out the amount of energy needed to manufacture the cup for an environmental project. Please do not worry about the lid.

Michael M asked:


When I get a fresh cup of coffee and add milk/cream- sometimes when I take my spoon out (after stirring) and a drop of coffee from the spoon falls onto the coffee- the dropped coffee beads up and dances on the top of the coffee cup. Why is that? Is there a difference in surface tension for coffee and cream? Or is it related to the heat?

My mom wants one of those one cup coffee makers. I’m trying to find a decently priced one, but the only one I can find is the Keurig B60 Single Cup Coffee Maker, which is $120.00. I was looking for something a little cheaper. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Tones asked:


Why would I get the message Yahoo is going on a coffee-break. Sorry for the inconvenience. Has anyone experienced that? Hm – and weird.

Diego M asked:


I would like to find a list or directory of companies that buy Gourmet Coffee in the United States.

SteveT asked:


Are coffee makers like Tassimo and Senseo compatible, so that if you use a Tassimo, say, you could use Senseo coffee? Or do you always have to use the same coffee as the coffee maker itself?
