Filter Coffee Machine

I normally drink instant coffee or use tea bags but occasionally buy filter coffee to use in a machine my Mum left me. Yesterday I opened one of my plastic storage jars with a non airtight lid, and found that it contains about half a bagful of filter coffee that I probably put into it at least a year ago. Is it still safe to use it? How long can you keep it in this kind of container?

Roasted coffee goes stale in a week or two, but once ground it goes stale in as little as 20 minutes. All that surface area isn’t good for long-term storage. As the above answer states, it won’t be dangerous to drink (unless it’s covered in mold) but it won’t taste good.

Personally, I’d throw it out to avoid having to live with the memory of the taste.

Putting tea leaves from a teabag into the filter where you would normally put the coffee grounds, in the regular kind of filter coffee machine with a pot and a water reservoir. I’m asking because this seems it could be one of those things that makes perfect logical sense, but in practice goes horribly, horribly wrong.
Pouring boiling water onto tea leaves is one thing, but boiling those leaves is another. For a black tea, it would bring out too many enzymes and give you a bitter brew. As for green tea, the water should only reach 180°.

How to create a coffee at home it test like Stratbucks coffee from a Starbacck roasted coffee

I bought a roasted been coffee from Starbucks to make coffee from my home and office. But I tried every thing and could not find the same coffee I drink from their café.
Is that the water, coffee machine, filter or what? Please give me the procedure to create a nice tall coffee looks and feels the real one

Are you referring to just a cup of coffee?

Starbucks taste burnt and bitter to me…
So I’d suggest, pouring a pot’s worth of coffee beans onto a cookie sheet and bake in the oven 375F for 15-30 minutes or until the beans are burnt.

Grind and brew using bottled water..

Use fresh coffee and a clean filter for every pot. Don

Are coffee machines with permanent coffee filters good? I have a coffee machine that uses the disposable filters, and I’m considering buying one with a permanent filter. Are they good? Are they bad? What are the pros and cons about them?

Coffee machines with permanent filters are good. Paper filters take flavor from the coffee and put in paper flavor but it depends on your palate whether or not you can taste it or if it even matters to you. They say the gold filter is the best filter to keep flavor. The only con to the permanent filters is that the good ones are around $20 to replace but they do last a long time. And you should be able to buy a gold filter for your existing coffee maker.

i have a breville 800es coffee esspresso maker and need some more things for it. I need some extensions for the coffee filter head a bigger jug a temp stick and a place to discard my used coffee grounds?

does any one know eher to find the right parts?

online.

I bought the type for a cafitiere instead of a filter coffee machine. Can I use it in my machine? What’s the difference between the two? I’d feel a bit silly returning it especially seeing as I’ve lost my receipt, but I don’t know anyone else with a cafitiere, so it seems a bit of a waste not to use it.

No problem, most coffees can be used interchangably the only difference between them is how fine the beans are ground. Go ahead.

I have ground coffee, a pot, coffee filters and a blender, microwave stove fridge..just no coffee machine.

Boil water, pour into a bowl and add coffee grounds, stir around a bit and then strain it with the coffee filter in the strainer. I have made it this way in a pinch when the coffee machine broke.

Just wondered if I could do this to save time! When I add the filter coffee into the top bit, can I put the sugar in their too? Or will this damage the machine?
Thanks, I thought it probably would. Great idea about putting it in the bottom of the pot – I never thought of that (duh!).

Question answered cheers )

I wouldn’t do it. It will make your basket and all the attaching plastic hardware sticky and hard to clean. Plus the drain hole will get clogged when the sugar/water dries. Why not just add the sugar to the pot before the coffee drains into it?
