Can these be used to make coconut water kefir?

I use my milk kefir grains to make coconut milk kefir and raw milk (dairy) kefir. I would refer J. Jones to check out books from Amazon: Cultured Food for Life by Donna Schwenk, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fermenting Foods by Wardeh Harmon, and Fermended, a Four-Season Approach to Paleo Probiotic Foods by Jill Ciciarelli -all of which can be purchased on Amazon.

I wouldn't - the Keurig has a spike in the cup that is meant to pierce the cup for the water to flow through. These pods are porous and meant for a Hamilton Beach or Senseo pod brewer.

I expect you can, but haven't tried it myself. I use these in my soymilk maker. In the past, I have tried sprouting soybeans, and I just used soybeans from the bulk bins at Whole Foods, and it worked fine.

I don't even think you could use the coconut water for cooking. This is for drinking.

It can be used for making fresh cheeses, so I don't know why it couldn't be used for kefir. Just hang it over a bowl in the same way.

You CAN, but you'll have to buy a refillable pod like the Ekobrew Cup Ekobrew Refillable K-cup for Keurig Brewers, 1-Count . I have one and it works just fine!

No, not at all. These are great too! Only coconut and coconut oil, with turmeric as extra flavoring.

I would say yes because I soaked it in filtered water, then put it in the blender. Then I squeezed the coconut milk out of it to drink. What was left looked like flour.

I'm not positive, but I don't see why not. Especially the coconut milk because you need a fattiness to make good ice cream. If you haven't bought the Cuisinart yet, I would contact the company and ask them.

Yes..but as a precaution I drop the 'used' skewers into a pan of hot water w/a squeeze of Dawn until I get ready to load the dishwasher..they are worth the cost.. use them in good health

Yes, you surely can! You will need special recipes, though. Recipes in "The Spunky Coconut" come to mind right offhand, but there are surely others. You will need recipes that don't depend upon the caramelization capacity of sugar to make them succeed, so you can't substitute successfully in all recipes.

I'm sorry but they will not work for a Kcup coffee maker .you should look for a reusable Kcup that you just fill with your favorite coffee and your good to go. And they are cheap. Good luck

I'm sure you could but it's kind of dry. I've used them in kombucha to flavor it. But not exactly sure if I'd grab a handful to munch on.

I use this as an excellent vessel for continuous brew kombucha and cover the top with a gauze cloth. For water kefir you want air tight for second ferment but I feel like this would be big for Water Kefir. I do a quart at the time and you want to do the second ferment in a bottle that it nearly fills. The less air in the bottle for second ferment the more bubbles you will get as well. I recommend you join the group on facebook "Kefir grains, scoby and others to share", they are an excellent resource. Yes you use a tight weave cloth for first ferment and air tight for second ferment if you do a second. I do a second if I add flavor like juice or fruit. Also on Pinterest there are fermentation boards with a wealth of information. Amazon has several great products for fermentation.

I've never made kefir cheese, but I don't see why not. The strainer element, which sits inside the large plastic bowl, is fairly fine and drains well. It just may take a while for it all to drain, and you'll need to empty the bowl as it drains through if you have more than two cups of liquid, so as not to fill up to the, cheese in the straining container.

Yes, if you have the equipment to grind flour, likely you could. It's already very fine shreds and is dry, not sticky. But why don't you just order the "Let's do organic coconut flour"?

You can--however, it was purposefully made for drinking. For the BEST coconut flavored rice, use "coconut milk," which can be found at your local grocery stores.
