I want to buy a cappuccino/espresso machine but I am not familiar with how to make it. I wanted to know if there are a certain type and/or consistency of beans to get? If you live in Maryland, let me know where I can buy these coffee beans. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got an espresso machine and i dont know what to put in it. Are there special espresso beans to use with it or are you supposed to use coffee beans? I’ve been using foldgers and it doesnt taste stong enough.

Can I espresso-grind some good strong coffee beans, or do I need to buy espresso beans?

I have this bag of coffee beans, and I tried to make coffee out of it? Am I missing something? It came out weak.

Can I use the coffee beans straight from the grocery store? Or do I need to do anything to them before I cover them in chocolate?

I want to make my own energy drinks, and I want to know how to extract caffeine from coffee beans or sugar cane, either one is fine. I want to know of a way I could do that and be able to put caffeine into a drink. Thank you.

I’ve got a bag of jamican blue coffee that I totally forgot about. The bag has never been opened and they are whole beans. The bag of coffee was pretty pricey, I’m just wondering how long coffee beans will stay good in a sealed plastic bag??
The bag is air tight and has never been opened. It’s about a year old though!

If one was trying to stay up late in order to do their homework, would simply swallowing coffee beans like pills suffice? What sort of damage (if any) to the digestive system would this do?

When you buy a cup of coffee at a store or at a gas station, what do they put in the coffee besides coffee beans and water? For example, I have heard that they put preservatives in coffee sometimes. Can coffee contain any vegetable oil products (such as mono-and-diglycerides?) When I eat things with vegetable oil I am convinced I have an adverse reaction, which I think I can get to a slighter degree from drinking coffee, which is why I asked. I am convinved vegetable oil is very unhealthy.
It disgusts me that I have to ask this question.

Through similar processes could someone use coffee beans to make a tasty hard coffee bar, like a chocolate bar? Could someone roast and grind and brew coco beans into a not overly bitter hot drink similar to coffee?
