To use as a coffee creamer, can you pour straight from the can, or is it better to dilute w/ water, blend, etc first?

Unless you gently heat the contents of the can (as in a pan of warm to hot water -- not over a burner!) the contents are separated. There are solids, and liquids in there that need to combine. So if it is warm enough for the coconut oil to be liquid, you can shake the can to mix up the contents, and pour some out. I don't see that happening much, in our 70-75 degree homes. So remove from the can, and blend. When you add it to coffee, it will liquefy. I keep my opened coconut milk in the fridge in a wide-mouth jar. Though it doesn't last long.

I spoon into to coffee straight. Even the thicker part is (if not well shaken when warm) is delicious in coffee or hot chocolate. For even a better cup of coffee, I take the hand held blender and whip it together. It makes a nice frothy top. Then if you are still adventurous, I would add a bit of cocoa (unsweetened) and blend that in for a mocha. Yummy

You can use as creamer- just shake well. Adding water would be your preference. If you refrigerate, if turns to cream in can. I open a can at room temp and pour in a jar. I use 1/2 cup each morning in my protein shake and 1/2 cup unsweetened "cartooned" coconut milk. You can also use this for making dairy free whipped cream. Refrigerating causes it to separate. Open can and pour liquid off. (Save watery liquid for something else). Put heavy cream part in mixing bowl and beat until consistency you like. Add a little sugar and vanilla while mixing.

I wouldn't recommend it. Any liquid that's thicker than syrup, for example, would probably pour very slowly or not at all, especially with small bits of garlic.

In my opinion it is better to dilute it yourself. That way you will be in control of how much it is diluted.

yes, fill the water to the 4 cup line and put in your coffee...my husband puts in 6tbs. of coffee for eight cups so just put in 1 tablespoon of coffee for each cup you want...1tbs per cup or less depends if you want it strong..This perc is great ..have had a perc by this company since I'm married and it will be 37years in September....enjoy:)

Put in a little water first, then coffee and add the rest of your water. You can find complete instructions in some of the most helpful Amazon product reviews. Enjoy.

We generally follow the direction, but by adding a little more powder, it seems to make a richer taste. I really think you should start with the directions and vary it based on your own taste and how you plan to use the mixture. I will say, it makes an excellent cream gravy. We are about a year away from full time cruising on our sailboat and plan to use it for our milk. It is a very good product. Claudia also uses it as a coffee creamer, although it is expensive to do so.

I use a grind just slightly finer than for normal drip coffee. I then wet all the grounds with minimal water and let sit for 30 seconds. Then I very slowly pour the water over the coffee again raising the level in the filter overall just an inch at max. Coffee will bloom while doing so, and I alter the pour pattern to evenly wash over the entire bloom "crust". This makes a great cup of coffee for me.

I always add cream and sugar, and with that combination I would say no.If it is when having a straight cup of coffee it should be minimal.Cream is not going to take that much of an edge off it, and with creamit still has a nice bite, but it's not an acidic bite.

I no longer have the bag to read the ingredients but I bought it to use in coffee and added it straight in. It blends in as well as non dairy creamer. Just a warning though, It has a thick texture and adds "foam" that takes some getting used to.

Yep! Just mix it in another container (I use a pyrex mixing bowl with handle/spout) and then pour into carafe.

I always put powder to the liquid as it works better that way... it blends better for me... smoother, without lumps!! Good luck!

This is liquid form.....It is concentrated so you have to dilute it or whatever it is you want to do, it comes with directions.

I use regular off the shelf grind and have no problem. You're supposed to just wet the coffee first, and then pour in the water a little at a time. Don't pour in all the water all at once. Maybe that will help?

YES! But follow these steps. (1) Do NOT fill the water reservoir to the top line. (2) I tested the lid to see how far to open it to be able to pour - it's not much. Then I put a dot of red nail polish on the pot to mark the spot. (3) After opening the lid that SMALL bit, apply a little pressure to the edge of the lid closest to the handle. This creates a bigger opening for pouring. (4) Pour SLOWLY and you'll have minimal if any drips. I always tighten the lid after every pour, and the coffee stays hot longer than any other carafe I've ever used. I haven't found another front-load coffee maker, so for me it's worth the extra effort. Good luck! YES! But follow these steps. (1) Do NOT fill the water reservoir to the top line.

I read that it's best to add water slowly, in that case you'd be fine. Sometimes though add as much water as I can fit and then go back and I have to add more water, because I, too, like a 12oz cup of coffee.

The mouth opening is actually quite big so I pour milk/sugar in that way. Alternatively I have also put powdered creamer and sugar directly with the coffee grounds before adding water, and that works great as well.

I don't think so. Coffee creamer tends to hold its shape if you scoop a heaping spoonful onto a spoon, and would not flow into the dispensing slot. Sugar crystals tend to flow more easily, and not stick together.
