Q: What is the water to coffee ratio for making the perfect cup of coffee?
The bag of coffee doesn't say can you please help I want to make 5 cups so if I fill my coffee maker with water to the 5 cup line how much coffee do I put in?

Q: I'm looking for a coffee maker that will make 5 days, 2cups a day automaticly by filling grounds, water once.
I would like to put grounds in 5 different holders and maybe hook water up to supply or not , hit a button and have 2 cup a coffee ready at 5am every morning for 5 days streight automaticly
A: Good luck! Never heard of such a thing.
But for the lazy society we have become, you may be on to something! Patent the idea
Q: Help me, I make disgusting coffee!!?
We have a 5 cup coffee maker, I always make it either too strong or too weak. We have maxwell house coffee in like medium I think. I like my coffee on the weaker side but not too watery, every day I either put too much in, or too little, I followed the directions and it was too strong for me. Is there any good brands of coffee that are REALLY good and make fool-proof yummy tasting coffee? I have wasted SO much coffee & creamer the past two weeks making these gross pots of coffee
A: Measure it and you'll be able to adjust the strength really soon!
And purchase premium coffee!

Q: Yard sale pricing..?
Ok I've got a set of books, 5 out of the series of 6 (the 6th book just came out and I haven't read it yet.) Each book costs $7, what would be a good price for the entire set? Also what is a good price for a 5-cup coffee maker that is in excellent shape? I'm also selling some bracelet sets and single bracelets that I have made with real crystal beads as well as one being Tiger's Eye and one being Snowflake Obsidian. What would be good prices for these? I was thinking $10 for the sets that have a bracelet & earrings and the set that has earrings & a necklace and maybe $5 for the single bracelets? Ohh and there's a HUGE, HEAVY mirror with a neat wooden frame...what do you think would be good for that?
It is a pretty popular series right now so maybe you're right. I could also split them up if the buyer has already read some of the series...
A: Are the books hardback or paperback??? For hard back I would pay 15$ for the set and for paper I would pay about ten. Coffee maker I would pay 5$. For the jewelry I would say put the prices you were thinking on them but if someone makes an offer at least consider going down on the price. For the mirror it depends on how good of shape it is in. I would say maybe 20$
Q: Spending to much on STARBUCKS coffee?
1. 4 cup drip coffee maker (walgreens) $10.00
2. 1 gallon crystal geyser water (food co) $1.00
3. 200 plain white filters (food co) $1.00
4. 1 Bruan coffee grinder (bed bath and...) $19.00
5. 1 bag STARBUCKS brand coffee $9.00
6. Borrow 2x STARBUCKS tall cups
00.. refrigerate the coffee after opening!
Place filter into basket, pour beans into the grinder lid 1/2 full, grind while shaking the grinder a little bit, empty the grinder lid into the filter basket, place the filter basket into the maker, then add the water, 4 cups.(1/2 lid makes 4 cups)...turn on the maker....brew, then turn the maker off, drink as soon as possible, after the coffee cools.
You'll get un-hooked an a single bag lasts 2 months
this is the only way to duplicate the store coffee
add half n half to taste
astronomical savings!
A: I dumped Starbucks about a year ago. Personal reasons. God Bless you.
Q: How can i make the strongest most rich coffee?
I really love coffee, but i only have a regular Coffee Maker,and for my taste,the coffee is pretty weak both in taste and in quality. Im thinking about buying a Coffee Machine, but i also saw a espresso machine, and i don't know the difference,nor their prices. And i also have doubts about what type of coffee to buy to get the best cup of coffee that i can make(strongest in taste and wake me up power).I know this is not a serious thing, but i really feel tired of drinking 5 cups of folgers in the morning instead of drinking 1 cup of a good,fresh coffee. Please, only serious answers.
Thanks in advance for taking the time....
A: I bought a regular drip and espresso combo from Walmart for only $30. This is a rare find, but those deals are out there, so you should shop around online.
For drip coffee (a normal coffee maker), go with a dark roast. This will have a stronger flavor. The darkest is espresso roast, but don't confuse it with actual espresso grounds. If you are at a grocery store, a package of pre-ground "espresso roast" coffee should be what you buy. If you get your beans from a local coffee shop (just go to the counter and ask to purchase pre-ground coffee in bulk - they will usually do 1/2 pound or 1 pound bags for cheap), ask for the darkest roast they have, ground for a drip machine.
For an espresso machine, no matter what roast you get, this is going to be strong. I have never been able to find pre-ground espresso at a grocery store. A lot of grocery stores have a coffee isle where you can ground your own coffee. Put the beans into the bag, then pour them into the grinding machine. Select the espresso settings, place the bag under the spout and start the grinder. You can also go to a local coffee shop and they will sell you 1/2-1 pound of pre-ground espresso. Make sure that you specify it's for an espresso machine, you don't just want "espresso roast". You can also do this at places like Starbucks. Go right up to the counter and ask, don't let them talk you into buying one of their 1lb bags of 'premium' coffee and a grinder or something. They're supposed to sell pre-ground bulk beans to you for something like $8 a pound (that's cheap for starbucks considering it's $2-4 per CUP if they brew it for you).
The great thing about these combo drip/espresso machines is that you can do pretty much anything with them. They have the drip coffee if you prefer that, or if your guests prefer it. Then you can still put regular coffee in it if you receive it as a gift (it's a very common thing to get coffee as a gift). Also, you can have all of the coffee house espresso drinks that you like or just drink it straight up. You could pay just as much for a regular fancy drip machine as you could for a combo machine. They also usually come with the frothing wand.
It looks like there are 2 brands that sell most of them right now. Mine is something like Westinghouse or west something. These are places you can buy them:

Q: Coffee maker to meet my needs?
Here's what I want to do:
1) program coffee maker the night before
2) have it ready at 5:30am
3) either have it brew directly into a thermos-like cup or pour it into a thermos-like container
4) coffee still be hot and ready to drink at 8am after my workout.
I haven't found a coffee maker that brews directly to a thermos-type cup. And even if I found one I don't know if it will stay warm for 2.5 hours.
I did find an electric travel mug that heats the coffee using the cars power adatper and thought about getting that.
Question 1: Anyone know of a brew-to-thermos coffee maker that will keep the coffee hot for 2 hours.
Question 1a: If not, anyone know if the electric mugs work well?
A: Boil some water and stir it in.
Q: If you had to choose just one of these to make, which would you choose?
Frozen Coffe Mocha
1 ice-cube tray of frozen coffee
2 T. + 1 C. milk
1 1/2 T. cocoa powder
2 T. powdered sugar
1/2 t. vanilla
Freeze leftover coffee each morning in an ice cube tray until you have one full tray of cubes.

Garnishes: whipped cream, ground cinnamon
Process half of first five ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Pour coffee mixture into a large pitcher. Repeat with remaining half of first five ingredients, and pour into pitcher.
Stir half and half into coffee mixture, and garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.
Mocha Shake
1/4 C. warm water
2 T. Hershe's cocoa
1 T. sugar

Q: Has anyone tried to make coffee this way?
Here is a method that seems to work just fine.
French Pressing allows the coffee to sit in the water for however long you like it to, to extract more flavor from the grinds.
Messy to clean up, also dust gets through the metal screen.
However, you can pour the coffee through a paper filter after this process is completed.
A Percolator is fine for allowing water to continually drip through the grinds, again for however long you like, but it BURNS the coffee.
Here is a method that I just used today and it works great. You can almost get the best from both worlds.
I used my Hamilton Beach Cone Drip Coffee Maker. It has an automatic stop when the Carafe is removed as many coffee makers do.
If you swing out the Basket approx. 1/2 inch, the coffee does not drip through the bottom.
Important, this coffee maker has one hole up above for the hot water drip into the basket from. If there are multiple holes spread out around the entire circumference of the top, you could have water dripping all over the place. So please make sure that if you swing out the basket on your coffee maker, that the hot water still drips directly into the basket and that the coffee does not drip through the bottom of the basket until you push it back into place.
So, here is my method.
Place the desired amount of coffee grinds into the basket and pour the desired amount of water into the reservoir.
Now, swing out the basket just enough so that you can see into the basket. Turn the coffee maker on.......Watch the water as it fills into the grinds in the basket. When the water in the basket rises to about a half inch below the top of your filter, turn off the coffee maker. Now, let the water sit in the basket for 5 minutes. More or less is up to you.
I did this with 48 ounces of water and 8 tablespoons of coffee.
Now push the basket back into place and let the coffee drip into the Carafe. When drained, do this process again. I did this 3 times and then I just allowed the remaining water to drip right in the basket and into the carafe.
This method allows you to have coffee grinds submerged in the water for however long you like. You don't have to go through this process for the entire brew either. You can do it for only the first or second basket fills or through the entire process.
You'll get more flavor out of the grinds like french press.
You can also do this by removing the basket and placing it over the carafe on the counter top. Pour your hot water into the Basket........Let it sit. Then depress the lever underneath the basket to release the stopper and let the coffee drip into your carafe. Then pour more water into the basket.
Just like using a Melita portable coffee brewer with the cone basket that sits over a carafe or the smaller one that fits over a cup. Just find a way to keep the hole at the bottom close until you decide to allow the coffee to drip out.
NO dirty coffee grinds to clean out of the bottom of the French Press' screen and bottom of the Glass.
Give it a try. You have nothing to lose. Just improvise a little and you can do a lot of amazing things that are so simple.
A: No, I have not. However, I will try it.
Thank you for posting it!

Q: Chebyshev's theorem?
(i) A coffee-maker is regulated so that it takes an average of 5.8 min to brew a cup of coffee with a standard deviation of 0.6 min. According to Chebyshev's theorem, what percentage of the times that this coffee-maker is used will the brewing time take anywhere from 4.6 min to 7 min.
(ii) Give your reason why the Chebyshev's theorem is applied in part (i).
(iii) Do you think that the percentage found in part (i) is accurate? Please explain.
A: The theorem says that for any random variable X with mean μ and finite variance σ² and k > 0 then
P( | X - μ | < kσ) ≥ 1 - 1/k²
in other words, the probability that X is withing k standard deviations of the mean is no less than 1 - 1/k². this is a very conservative estimate but it works. The proof is easy for continuous random variables and isn't that bad for discrete ones. The most important thing to see here is that it does not matter if the random variable is continuous or discrete, this inequality holds.
(i) The value of 4.6 is 2 standard deviations below the mean and the value 7 is 2 standard deviations above the mean. as such, the percentage of data time the coffee makers will be within this range is 1 - 1/2² = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 = 75%
(ii) use Chebyshev's theorem because you do not know the distribution of the average brewing time. this theorem is valid for any distribution with finite mean and finite variance.
(iii) it is very conservative. the central limit theorem suggests that if this data was collected from a large enough sample then the average brew time would be normally distributed. if you used the normal distribution you would find 0.9544997 of the data lies within two standard deviations above or below the mean.

1. A conical paper cup (vertex down) is being filled with water at the rate of 3 cm^3/sec. If the depth of the water is always twice the radius at the surface, find the following:
a) How fast is the radius increasing when the water is 2 cm deep?
[I got 3 / (2pi) cm/sec]
b) How fast is the area of the surface of the water increasing when the water is 2 cm deep?
[I got -44.25 cm²/sec, which cannot be right]
2. A coffee maker has a filter holder and filter in the shape of a cone with radius 5 cm. 500 cm^3 of water are poured into the filter holder. Brewed coffee drips out of the cone at the rate of 20 cm^3/min into a cylindrical coffee pot that has the same radius as the filter holder.
a) Find a formula for the rate of change of the depth of the coffee in the coffee pot.
b) What is the final depth of the coffee in the coffee pot?

A: 1.
Given:
dV/dt = 3 cm^3/s
h(t) = 2r(t)
a.) h = 2cm, r = 1cm
V(t)= 1/3(pi)*h(t)*r(t)^2
= 2pi*r^3
dV/dt = 6pi*r^2(dr/dt) = 3
= 6pi(dr/dt) = 3
dr/dt = 1/(2pi) cm/s
b.)
A = pi*r^2
dA/dt = 2pi*r*(dr/dt)
dr/dt = 1/(2pi)
dA/dt = r = 1 cm^2 / sec
2.
Given:
dVcone/dt = -20 cm^3/min
dVcyl/dt = 20 cm^3/min
R = 5 cm
Vcone = 500 cm^3
Vcyl = pi*r^2h = 25pih
a.) dVcyl/dt = 25pi* (dh/dt) = 20
dh/dt = 4/(5pi) cm/min
b.) Vcyl = 25pi*H = 500 cm^3
H = 20/pi cm

Chapter 1
My mom was sitting on the edge of the couch, drinking her usual Mocha. I walked over to her and sat beside her. Her head was buried between her novel, A Chance for Romance. Her golden hair was tied in a ponytail that hung over her shoulders. She was a beautiful woman and I sort of inherited some of her traits. My mom was an author, a famous one to tell me. She had written 7 books in a her lifetime. A Chance for Romance was published 1 month ago. Even though she knew she wrote it she still read it continuously like she was a fan of her own writing. She looked up and smiled, showing her beautiful pearly teeth.
“ Can you give me a refill please hon,” She smiled again as I chuckled and got up. I walked over to the sink and poured out the cold coffee and rinsed it. I picked up the coffee maker pot and poured the brewed coffee into the mug. I poured the Mocha flavor mix into the coffee and stirred it with a spoon. I walked back over to her and handed her the warm mug. She took a swig and smiled.
“ Just like I like it.” She said and caressed my cheek. Her skin was always cool and smooth. She sat her cup on the table next to her novel and stared at me.
“ What would I do without my Erin. Every since your dad died I’ve never been happy, but you made me change. Erin, sweetie soon you’ll be going to college and I want you to promise me you will find someone to love you in every single way.”
“ Mom, I don’t really care about finding love anymore, well it would be good to, but I got you. Enough love.”
“ Sweetie your a amazing, beautiful, intelligent young woman. I love you and care for you so much. Its time you find that special guy out there.” She said and picked up her novel and buried her head between it again.” I chuckled and stood up to walk to my room. I walked up the stairs halfway and peeked out at my mom, and said, “ Over my dead body.” She smiled and I walked up to my peaceful room, which I called “ Erin’s Paradise.”
The aroma scent of raspberries and vanilla filled my room. I laid on my big, white canopy bed and turned on the radio. I picked up my cell and was about to call Jesse--one of my best friends, but a song came on the radio that I’ve never heard. It sounded familiar though. The song started off just a strum of a acoustic guitar. Then a guy started singing. He sounded so beautiful. The music was so soothing.
Sit there on the phone,
You can talk about us.
You can tell me your sorry,
A thousand of times.
But I’m not gonna fall,
I just don’t know how you do.
There was a pause, and then there was an crescendo. The electric guitar came in and then the drums. The song was so stunning. It ended like it started, with the acoustic guitar coming back and with him saying the same words again.
“ There you have it folks. That was Everlasting Disasters playing their new hit, One last time, It’s over. That band is new to all the fame and will be performing at the Jodi’s Bar here in Cali on June 16th, one more day from here. Well back to the fun and music, This is Dillion and your listening to 160.9. The Fross.”
I punched in the number of Jesse’s phone and she picked up after the first ring.
“ Hey Erin, what’s going on?” She said.
“ Hey Jess. What are the girls doing tonight?” I asked and turned down the volume of my radio.
“ Uhhh...I think Chloe and Jadden are going on a double date.”
“ Cool...Are you and Jake going?”
“ Yeah of course.” she coughed.
“ I think I’ll go for the fun of it. Where are they going? The movies?” I said and sighed.
“ Yeah, and then to a party over at Cray’s Lake. Hey you should come over at 6, and look your best...as usual. I got a special surprise for you.” she said happily.
“ Sure.” I mumbled.
“ Hey I got to go, Jake’s coming over in 24 min. and I haven’t picked out the perfect outfit. Bye Erin.” She said and hung up. It was now 5:03. I laid my head on my pillow and thought about my dad. He was a young man and maybe because him and mom had me when they were 16. I looked nothing like my dad but I had the same personality as he did. He had blue- green eyes and dark russet skin. Dad had died from a car wreck when I was 8. I missed him so much. He was my hero, my dad. My eyes opened and I realized that I had felling asleep. I jumped up from my bed and went to my closet. I grabbed my favorite halter top and skinny jeans. The halter top was orange and was sparkly, and the jeans were skin tight and was a dark black color. I hurried and threw my makeup in my bag and tied the back of the shirt. I ran down the stairs, said bye to my mom and hoping I didn’t forget anything. The sun was scorching hot outside. I got in my bright red convertible and drove to Jesse’s house with One last time, It’s over in my head.
“ Come in!” Jake screamed as I rung the doorbell. I laughed and shifted my bag on my right side.
“ Hey Erin! You are very luscious tonight.” he said as Jesse came down the stairs wearing a cute tee and a pair of blac
