Question : How do I make coffee in an American machine?
Hi, this will seem very silly to many of you, but I'm an Aussie girl staying in a US hotel and I have NO IDEA how you work a drip coffee machine. Would somebody have the time to help me? It seems to be the standard one I've seen in your movies - heat at the base, pyrex clear container above that, then a plastic container. I have figured out that water goes down when I put it together, but do I need to heat the water beforehand? Where is the coffe packet supposed to go? I'm lost. We use plungers or espresso machines at home.
Answer:
You're fine. You poured the water correctly. Coffee packet goes into the filter slot. It should open. Then make sure it's plugged in and press the button to brew. Once you do a red/orange light turns on and turns off when done. Call front desk if you still need help. The water automatically heats and drips.

Question : What are the best online resources on buying a coffee machine?
My current coffee machine works well but it's stained and looks yucky so I need a new one. I need to find sites that have reviews of coffee machines and also sites where I can find the machine I want for cheap.. lolThanks.

Go through Gavalia.comThey offer free coffee pots with an order of their coffee. Good coffee and many flavors to choose from. We have been using ours now for years without it skipping a beat. Plus it has a clock and you can set it to brew when you want.Right now they have a 12 cup stainless steel coffee maker free for trying their coffee.

Question : How do you properly clean a coffee machine?
Yesterday I decided to do my husband a favour and clean the coffee machine with vinegar. I thought by running two full carafes of water through it afterwards it would remove all the vinegar taste but apparantly the first batch of coffee tasted awful and had to be thrown out. Uh oh. I've put four more carafes of water through this morning. Now the water tastes fine to me. What do I do next? What should I do next time?Thanks in advance.
Answer:
Use a vinegar/water rinse, then run fresh water through it. I have a self cleaning coffee maker, but I still do this at least once a month because if I don't, the coffee starts getting a really nasty flavor to it. You did good!!! Really! But next time, do a vinegar/water rinse. It'll help. I've done the same thing on several occassions. There have been many a pot of coffee that have been thrown out in this house! So, you did good!

Someone passed on to me a Delonghi Otello coffee, espresso and cappuccino machine. I have the manual which has precise steps to create cappuccinos with unit measurements. These unit measurements are according to the espresso pot that comes with the machine. I however do not have the small pot to create coffee.Does anyone know how much in milliliters (mL) is the two unit measurement of the small coffee pot? And the four unit measurement?Thanks!
Answer:
the maximum measurement for 4 shot is 250 mLyou may use less to your own taste, but more will over fill the boiler

Question : Which home coffee machine is best for making a latte?
I buy coffee from a stall every morning on my way to work so have decided that it's worth investing in a decent coffee machine to make my own instead! Which home machine is good for lattes? Is there anything specfic I should look out for?
Answer:
Tassimo by Braun which brews one cup at a time. Can be purchased at Target or on-line. I have had one for over a year and love it.I also have a Bunn which I have had for over ten years and it is great for a fast pot of coffee for a crowd. I had a minor problem with it a few years back and Bunn sent replacement parts free of charge.

Question : Where do I get a commercial Starbucks coffee machine?
I just got back from my bank where they have a self serve, Starbucks branded coffee machine that allows you to select 1.) Size of cup (Gallon, Carafe, Tall, Small) 2.) Type of Coffee (regular, etc.) and then you hit the start button and it grinds and brews a cup of coffee for you that tastes EXACTLY like the drip brew coffee at a real Starbucks. I am looking into what the name of this machine is, and where I can get one.Thanks!
Answer:
I'm not sure what the machine looked like, so without add'l info, I couldn't find precisely what you're seeking. However, it appears many Starbucks-branded commercial machines for sale to the public are actually Saeco brand machines. Here's a page with numerous commercial machines, including Saeco..http://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/Super-automatic-espresso-machines-s/45.htmHope this helps! :)-AskYourQ

I bought an espresso machine, and i can't tell the difference between this and a regular coffee machine, it does the same thing doesn't it? i know it has a milk frothing arm on it, but is that the only difference?i didn't get ripped off, it was only 19.99
Answer:
Espresso uses far less water, and runs through a more complicated system before it gets to your cup.

Question : What is the best automatic one button coffee machine?
I am looking to buy a coffee machine that can also dispense cappucino, espresso, and other speciality drinks by pressing one button. Any suggestions?
Answer:
it really depends on how much you want to spend, if you want a god 1 button auto machine, it will cost a fair amount, but coffee is worth it, gaggia is usually going to be a pretty safe beti use a no button machine, its a gaggia g106, which is one of those old fashioned lever operated machines, really nice coffe, but definately now worth it if you aren't interested in spending weeks or months learning the finer points

Question : How to make a double shot espresso without a coffee machine?
I have no coffee machine and this is my first time making espresso. I'm trying to make a dessert in which double shot espresso was called for. Please kindly highlight a good brand of coffee. Thanks.
Answer:
I know you used to be able to buy bottles of brewed espresso. Try looking in grocery stores and places, if not then stove-top brewers can be a lot cheaper than "true" espresso machines. Other than that you could go to your local coffee bar and ask for a double shot to go as if its going into a recipe then use that. If you're using it in a recipe it shouldn't matter too much. A spoonful of instant coffee dissolved within 1oz of hot water would make the something simler to espresso.If you need fresh espresso (i.e. serving directly to people) then I would rrecommendeda sstove topbrewer or invest in a "true" espresso machine and enjoy.Interms of what time of coffee beans to go for try a blend like After Dinner. Coffee from Central America would be good. Avoid Colombian as it tends to be sweet and may become very sickly in a sweet desert.
