Let's Talk Coffee

ian c rogers asked:


How much caffeine is in coffee ice cream? Compared to a cup of coffee? Does it vary by brand of ice cream? Specifically, how much caffeine is in Hagen Das coffee ice cream?

~mj~ asked:


I live for my coffee and most likely drink too much of it. I love the taste of coffee. I drink mine black. How do you take yours?
if you don’t drink coffee why would you answer the question?

sky b asked:


is there much difference? I made cappuccino with coffee grounds and it tastes pretty good, but the coffee grounds ended up in my cappuccino. Are coffee grounds smaller than espresso grounds-is that why theys snuck through the filter?

I have never made coffee and I was wondering if you can make it taste like the Starbucks Frappuccino that comes in a glass. I don’t like the taste of strong coffee. Thanks!

Bulk Coffee Programs

A bulk coffee program is a plan that will ship you a predetermined amount of coffee each month. The amounts vary, so make sure you find a plan which suits your needs. Start with ordering a small amount at first, to make sure you don’t end up with more coffee that you can consume before it starts to go stale. Most of the plans offer a house blend brand of coffee which may be imported from Sumatra, Kenya, Central America or South America.

Check out Online Options for Bulk Coffee

If you buy bulk coffee online, you should be able to find it at a discount. This may seem great at first, but don’t forget to factor in the cost of shipping. The shipping cost may be sizable since bulk coffee ships in bags weighing up to 25 pounds. One way to cut down on shipping costs is to find a local distributor. Not only will save you money, but it can also save you delivery time. The last thing you want to do is to end up paying high overnight shipping costs for large amounts of bulk coffee.

Tips for Brewing Bulk Coffee

If you do own a restaurant, coffee house, or large business and are making a lot of coffee, be sure to use a commercial grade coffee machine for brewing your bulk coffee. The same coffee maker you use at home cannot make coffee fast enough and it can’t get the water hot enough for optimal brewing. Really high water temperature is one of the secrets to the great coffee served in your favorite coffee house.

If you don’t consume a lot of coffee in a short amount of time, purchasing bulk coffee may not be your best option. The best cup of coffee comes from fresh beans, bought within the last month. Even though buying bulk coffee will save you money, you’ll be disappointed in the taste of your coffee if it sits on your shelf much longer than 30 days.
