When they say 32 cups, what size cup do they mean?And, can you just use ice water to mix with it - do you need to use milk? (I like black coffee)

Hi - you can only use cold water for mixing. Not milk. I add a lot of ice to my tall glass so I have no idea how many cups you actually get. You can add as much of the brew as you like I suppose and as much water to suit your taste. Hope that helps!

They're basically equating a cup to an ounce of the coffee concentrate mixed with 9oz water for a generous 10 oz coffee. It's delicious and very well caffeinated. I am a heavy coffee drinker and find 2oz of Cool Brew mixed with either water or milk is an effective and tasty boost. Yes you can mix it with anything. I prefer it stronger and less dilute with no sweetener, just a bit of water so yes it makes for good black coffee. A little goes a long way and one if these bottles can last a while.

i use reg water...but add a flavored creamora and ice...I love it...I am sure it will be fine black. I only use it in the summer when I drink iced coffee.....

You can mix it with water or milk. I prefer milk myself only because I don't like black coffee. When they say 32 cups they are referring to an 8 oz size cup. The instructions say to mix it with either 9 oz. of cold water, or milk. I also add ice to mine.

I only use it for iced coffee, and I would guess a 12 oz cup is the size. It makes a very strong, dark iced coffee. I barely add milk to my iced coffee and it is delicious! I empty the bottle in about 16 days making two 16 oz iced drinks each day. My husband likes it in his protein drink as a flavoring. Don't hesitate to try itAnd, yes, I just use ice water.

There are 32 one ounce servings per bottle. I add ice to 16 ounce glass then add one ounce of the coffee concentrate. Then add creamer and fill glass with approximately 9 or 10 ounces of water. I use the green label decaf and it is as good or better than Starbucks.

No, you do not need to use milk. We like hot coffee every morning so we use an electric tea kettle for hot water which we add to 1 measure of coffee in a standard coffee mug (6-8 oz). I have also used cold water for ice coffee. You can always add more coffee if you prefer a larger mug. Cool Brew is a great coffee especially because there is little to no acid to upset stomach.

The 32 cups would refer to a measuring cup size. I don't know about the ice water, but it should be fine. Try it, no harm, no foul.

The serving size recommended on the Cool Brew package is 1 oz. Remember, this is a concentrate. From there you can mix it to whatever dilution you prefer. I mix mine fairly week by adding 12 oz of almond milk. The package instructions recommend mixing with 9 oz of milk or water then sweeten to taste.

By 32 cups i believe it means roughly 6-8 ounces (each shot of coffee is one of those little compartments you see at the top=32 servings of those in the entire container) depending how strong you want the coffee to be. You can also use just water if you don't want milk. I haven't tried that, but I imagine it would be good!

Not sure the number of cups but cheaper than Starbucks. I use exclusively for iced coffee, and use cold water only. Never drink it black but don't see why you can't,

I heat the water in an electric auto shut off pot. Add grinds to the french press, add boiling water once done, cover, let sit for less than a minute while I heat milk for thirty seconds in the microwave, push top down on press gently, pour into milk already in cup. A few less steps if you like black coffee. Easier and more efficient than an electric percolator and gives me just the right amount. Good luck.

I use two of them to make 32 oz, sweeten it while it is hot, then dilute it with another 32oz of ice. But, I enjoy my iced tea fairly bold. You can always start with this and add water to taste. Also, there are brewing directions on the box that can guide you. Enjoy!!!!

I would imagine you would use like a Fox's Ubet syrup. Milk, coffee, in the blender. Not sure tho, sorry.

Hi! Hey, you can use any size you want! Personally, I use a 10 oz. porcelain cup, I let it fill half way with espresso, then I add hot water from the wand, for a plain Americano. Less water, the richer your drink. As long as you have the "go" button on, it will continue to dispense, though gradually the brew will lighten in color and flavor. How's that? If all you want is the Traditional Espresso, then you would serve it up in a 4 oz,cup.Straight.

you cannot mix it directly into your coffee. I found that you have to blend it in a separate container using an immersion blender, as it does not mix smoothly. Personally, I would not buy this product again. There is no protein value and it is way to sweet if you are looking for a milk replacement. Just buy some almond or cocoanut milk.

Hello Kevin: we are doing 27g of beans and then grind, fill to the 400 ml level and we feel we are making a really fine cup of coffee. We worked to this point mathematically then tweaked to taste. To get to the 500 ml, do the math and then tweak to taste and I think you'll be fine. 27 divided by 4 is 6.75 so add another 6 and three quarter gs. of beans and fill to the 500 mark, should be great! but play with it to taste

I use at minimum 1/2 cup to max 1 1/2 cup cold 1% or 2% milk. Heat it up stirring occasionally but not to boil as it can burn. i put the cover on when the milk is heated and you will see the froth forming under the top after a few pumps. The more you pump the thicker the froth gets. I pour off some of the milk into my coffee then really pump the remaining milk to get that beautiful creamy topping which you can scoop out. Just have to pump the heck out of it. You will be shocked if you do it right. It's pretty cool. Hope this helps someone.

Yes, you can make a regular cup of coffee, all my guests love it. You can either use a longo capsule which is for a bigger cup, and or use another capsule. And yes, we make ice coffee drinks in large cups all the time.

use more coffee. We love it and have had no problems. Make sure you are folding the coffee filters edges like you are suppose to. We use Starbucks coffee and ratio is 4 scoops of coffee/8 cups of water. Coffee remains hot for a very long time in the coffee pot.

No settings other than choosing the cup size, which can dictate the strength of the coffee. In the morning I take a large mug to work so I use a full body, deep, dark roast. However if I am having a 2nd cup at home I will use a light breakfast blend with a smaller cup size. If you drink Coffee you will love this machine. Period.

I drink my coffee black, so it is hot enough for me. If you add cold milk or cream, you might want to zap it for a few seconds in the microwave.

I assume you are talking about after the coffee has been cold brewed and you are preparing to serve. I dilute it by half or less. I like really strong coffee! For iced coffee, I don't dilute at all, just pour the coffee straight over ice and add milk.

I use regular ground coffee of the shelf. If it's too fine, you may get a lot of coffee powder floating in your coffee. You will notice it when you add milk into your coffee.

I make it with water as a "coffee or tea" and also add it to protein shakes so I would say yes you can make it with milk if you want to. I love it hot like a coffee.

With milk, all flavors are good! If you use water, blend it, I think vanilla is the best though

I don't know I always drink hot coffee. What I do is use half a packet with another blend of coffee. I believe if you use it as Ice coffee it will taste good with some creamer and sugar.
