Is it ok to make espresso in a regular coffee maker? Because I bought some espresso beans from Starbucks but I only have a regular coffee maker.
Espresso beans are just different coffee beans blended to create a specific taste in espresso.
Espresso is just coffee made by forcing water through coffee beans under pressure.
You can make espresso with any coffee beans (single origin or blends) but it may not taste good because of the properties of the beans. You can also make regular drip coffee with an espresso blend. All my decaf coffee is actually different espresso blends, although I make more coffee than espresso with them. I also have several single-origin coffee beans that produce some excellent espresso.

How do YOU make a really good cup of coffee using a 8 cup french press?
When I make coffee using my regular coffee maker, I use one tablespoon ground coffee per two cups of water. I used to work at a gourmet coffee shop and this is how we did it. I just can’t get a nice dark cup of coffee using my french press. What is your water to grounds ratio?
I know you are supposed to use fresh coarse ground coffee.
and water just off a boil.
ANYBODY? Please?
French Press
First and foremost, to get a good tasting cup always measure coffee and water accurately and consistently. We recommend using one tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee per 8 oz water. Adjust to taste; a bit of experimentation when you first start using it can bring you very worthwhile results.
Second, for a hotter cup, immerse or fill the French Press in the hottest water you can get from the tap or with water you’re heating for the coffee, then pour out. (Remember, it’s laboratory glass, borosilicate, so it won’t break as long as you don’t expose it to sudden and drastic temperature changes. And neither will the polycarbonate one.)
Third, rinse your coffee cup with hot water just before you pour the coffee into it, so that the cold cup doesn’t cool down the coffee.
It’s French Press coffee time!
* Remove the lid and filter assembly.
* Measure coffee grounds into the coffeemaker.
* Pour very hot water over it, filling to the desired level.
* Replace the lid and filter assembly, keeping the filter at the top.
* Let coffee and water steep together for 2 to 5 minutes, depending on desired strength; the longer they steep, the stronger the coffee.
* Now take the plunge; slowly push the plunger down, to filter the coffee. Doing this slowly will keep most of the grounds under the filter of the plunger.
* Pour the filtered coffee, sit back, and enjoy!

How To Make A Perfect Cup Of Coffee
The perfect cup of coffee is one that satisfies your individual taste. Some like their coffee weak, some like stronger tasting coffee and then there are those whose taste falls somewhere between weak and strong. There really is no secret to making a great cup of coffee. Follow these logical and common sense steps to get the best out of your coffee and coffee maker.
1. Make sure your coffee making equipment is clean. Wash out your coffee maker regularly. If you have hard water, it’s easy to get mineral deposits that settle into the machine. A white vinegar rinse through will help this problem tremendously followed by 2 plain water rinses to ensure that the vinegar has been removed.
2. Use the freshest, best quality coffee available.Always use freshly roasted Arabica coffee beans or fresh ground coffee. Purchase only enough coffee that is reasonable for your lifestyle. Do not stockpile your coffee beans because your specialty coffee store is running a sale. Coffee beans are a perishable item which begins to loose flavors if not stored properly or used quickly after roasting. No matter how it’s packed, coffee beans begin to lose their peak flavor one week after they are roasted and three days after ground. Never store ground coffee in the refrigerator; it will sweat from condensation resulting from taking it out and putting it back, will lump up and the flavor will be altered. Coffee is best stored in the bean form.
3. Use good tasting water. This is key to a great cup of coffee and should not be taken lightly. When you consider that coffee is made of approximately 98-99% water, you must use the best water available. If you are using water from the tap or faucet, run the water for a few minutes until it runs cold, the colder the water the more oxygen it contains and the more oxygen in the water the better the coffee. Do not use tap or faucet water with an odor or pronounced taste.
4. Coffee to water ratio. Accurate measuring of coffee and water is key. A basic guideline to follow is to use 2 level tablespoons of freshly ground coffee to 6 oz of cold water (3/4 cup.) You can then adjust the proportions according to your taste. Experiment to find your preference but note that ratios will vary for different coffees and remember, although not ideal, you can always add more fresh boiled water if it’s too strong, but you can’t make a weak brew stronger.
5. Use the correct grind. This is an important step that does not get the attention it should. Grind your beans just before you make your coffee to retain freshness and do not grind more coffee than you need for immediate use. Because the grinding process releases the coffee beans’ oils (the flavor), leaving it out will cause the flavor to be lost. Because there are different methods of grinding for the different methods of brewing, be sure to check out what sort of consistency you need to maximize your brewing. Generally for drip coffee, it’s best to grind the beans to a consistency likened to granulated sugar. For a French Press, you’ll want to use a coarse grinding, and for espresso, you’ll need a very fine, almost powdery grind. Finding the right grinding for your brewing method is very important–the wrong method can give you weak or bitter coffee.
6. Use the right paper filter. If you are using a paper filter, rinse it out with hot water, to remove the sizing, before use. Make sure the filter you’re using is the one made for your coffee maker and is a perfect fit.
7. Brewing your coffee. Brewing temperature should be 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit. The brewing temperature is set by the coffee maker manufacturer and should be in the equipment manual.
8. Serving your coffee.Give the brewed coffee a quick stir as soon as possible after brewing and before serving. This disperses the coffee particulates evenly instead of sitting at the bottom of the pot and therefore provides a consistent cup of coffee. Serve the coffee as soon as possible to preserve its aroma and flavor. Freshly brewed means fresh taste. Coffee can be kept warm only for about 20 minutes before the flavor starts to deteriorate. Store any freshly made coffee in a preheated air pot or thermos. This will preserve the quality of your coffee and retain it’s temperature. Avoid reheating coffee.
9. Clean-up.Remove used coffee grounds and filter. Clean your coffee maker thoroughly in fresh hot water after every use.

——-Brewing in a Coffee Press:
1. Add into the coffee press the correct amount of coarsely ground coffee.
• A “8-cup” (32-fl. oz.) press holds 10-2/3 tbsp. of coarse ground coffee.
2. Add 32-fl. oz. of water right off the boil into the coffee press and stir to make sure all the grounds are wet.
3. Place the plunger assembly loosely on top to hold in the heat.
4. Using a timer, steep for four minutes.
5. Pointing the pouring spout away from you and holding the pot by the handle, slowly press the plunger down with your other hand to push the grounds to the bottom of the pot.
6. Serve immediately, as the coffee maintains its superior taste for only 20 minutes. Set a timer for 20 minutes if all of the coffee will not be consumed immediately

How much should I charge per pound for home roasted coffee?
I supply the cofee in a nice mason jar and deliver it to co-workers, friends, neighbors and members of my family. Often they pick it up from my house. It started out as a fun hobby, but the demand is growing every day. Up to this point, I’ve covered my cost’s – but I would not mind making a little extra for my efforts. Any help would be great!!! Thanks in advance.
What do you charge now?
What sort of coffee beans are you roasting: Arabica or Robusto?
A fair price for the mellow (and I think better tasting) Arabica could range from $6 to $9 a pound. After all, you are spending your time and LOTS of electricity and money for the mason jars. And Arabica beans, depending on your source, are not cheap.
For the more common Robusto (Colombian, etc) beans, you could probably charge $5-$8/lb.
Are you adding flavors? Tack on another $2/lb for that. I’d buy your coffee for that–sounds delicious.
Odd thing about human nature: if you make a good product and
charge a minimum amount, your product is considered “cheap” and your “market” will go away. If you price the exact same product a little higher, people will think it’s great and pay it.
Look at Starbucks, for example. I think the stuff tastes (and looks) like crankcase oil, but people willingly, gleefully pay quite a bit for their coffee. It’s a status thing, I guess. Go figure.
