Instead of pouring it into coffee, can I take it like a shot?

To be honest that was what I started doing but it was a bit harsh on my stomach so now I make sure to wash it down with some water or take it with a meal to avoid gastric upset.

Yeah you can drink it straight up, your not supposed to mix them with alcohol but sometimes I will pour some into a shot glass with coffee patron and top with a little baileys and take drink them... so good.

I have not tried that but in one of the other reviews they mentioned it might not be a great idea.

Try this...3-5 stoks, depending on how tired you are, a shot of french vanilla creamer, and a couple of fingers of your favorite cola drink (I like diet Pepsi). Quick, delicious, and you're good for hours.

I have. I have even dumped them in Pepsi.I will tell you that I have cut back on caffeine due to noticing a strong feeling of aggression.Did not like it, so I thought it through as to why I was feeling this way, came up with too muchcaffeine. I feel much better now.

I did that with the first one. Tastes like strong coffee with a little sweetness. Doesn't taste anything like espresso. I had the next one mixed with just a little milk (about an inch in a 12oz glass) and it barely tasted like coffee.

I'm an over the road truck driver and if I start feeling tired that's exactly what I do. 5 of them equals 200 mg of caffeine equals 1 No Doze tablet.

Yes. You can adjust how much water is used in that single shot as well. In addition, you can make a latte using another button. I've had my machine for over a year and I highly recommend!

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.

Freeze your coffee so it isn't watered down. I don't see why not. You'll have to play around with it. The machine is very loud and slow but I'm still liking it.

Yes you can. But the little part that holds the coffee grounds is VERY small. I don't even use mine because of that.

Yes you can do that. I do this all the time and have not noticed the coffee to be less fresh tasting.

Well, technically you could do that. However, it would not taste as delicious as pouring freshly boiled water on freshly ground beans. You would have to give it a stir to ensure it all mixed in and it would just not be the same. However, in a pinch, it would totally work. Please don't tell any coffee lovers you did it though. ;) Just be sure the water temp isn't super high.

you can use coffee from an opened capsule but one capsule isn't enough unless you like you coffee on the weak side

You can. I use mine at work. You just have to go into the bin after your coffee brews to get the my k cup back. It's an extra step but you can make it work.

You could make less, just put less coffee and water in. You'd have to experiment to get it exactly the strength you like.

You probably could, but I wouldn't recommend it, it really needs a good 15 minutes of steeping for full flavor, otherwise it's like drinking water with a hint of chocolate.

yes, you just put it in your coffee maker and brew like any other coffee. I found 6 tablespoons to a whole pot of coffee worked best.

Yes, I microwave some water, then add the concentrate. If needed I will give it a bit more in the microwave. I only use expresso coffee as other blends won't give enough flavor.

I assume you could, but you'd have to watch the pot super closely, because that small amount would brew quickly, and when the siphoning of the water happens, it is already quite fast -- a process that you have to be watching closely to make sure you don't let the pot go dry (needs to be removed from the heat as soon as the siphoning starts). I have to add also that, once you taste this coffee, you'll never, ever brew that small of an amount, anyway! :D It's just waaaay too delicious, and you'll wish you had made the whole pot. I hope this helps! I love, love, love this pot to pieces, and if it ever gets broken (my husband is forbidden to touch it! No joke!), I will be buying a new one the same day!

You can't! Do not waste your money on this machine. It makes a huge mess when the coffee was brewing. I returned it and would not waste my money on this garbage.

If I'm making a latte or cup of coffee I fill it about halfway or just over then either add steamed milk or half n half. If you want accurate shots then I suggest using the shot glasses aka demitasse cups to pull your shots into. It's really just preference and testing it out till you find wah works for you.

Sure you could! It would be an easy, tidy way to make coffee by the cup, without a coffee maker or a French press. Just put some coffee grounds in the strainer and steep like tea :) Then, lift out the strainer and voila: coffee with no grounds in it. Great idea.
