Q: What is a good, not-too-expensive, one cup coffee maker?
We had a black and decker one cup maker - you know, the kind with the little pods - and it was so loud (made this horrendous vibrating noise) and splattered water EVERYWHERE when you used it. We got rid of it and I was just wondering if all these types of coffee makers do this or if ours was defective or just sucked.
Should we bother trying another brand (like the Senseo machine) or just stick with the normal coffee makers. Thanks for your input!
A: the best one I had was a Krupp's and it was called 4cup but that was 20 ounces and I used it as 1 big mug. It lasted 15yrs. Now I have a Mr Coffee 4 cup and it is the same 20 oz. It has automatic timer so coffee is all ready for me in the morning and it was only $19 at Walmart. It is not very loud.
Q: Is one cup of coffee in the morning good for you?
I remember hearing that a cup of coffee in the morning is GOOD for you, because it starts your metabolism early. My main concern here is if I drink one cup of coffee a day--in the morning, will I become addicted to the caffeine or build up a tolerance? Are there any drawbacks? Thanks in advance!
A: You might build up tolerance, but that's not the same as addiction. It's just that one cup in the morning after six months of having one every AM may not have the same effect on you as it did in the very beginning. You might need 2 cups to get the same effect.
Maybe you won't develop tolerance. It depends on the person. I have one cup of coffee or tea every day (at varying times) and that one cup/day satisfies me. Just be careful with coffee- it sometimes gives people heart palpitations. I have gotten them before and I hate the feeling. Some coffees are stronger than others. The breakfast blends are lighter and smoother. I like those...
Coffee is generally considered safe. Even a lot of pregnant women are permitted to have one cup of coffee/day if that's what they're used to.
Some studies have even demonstrated that moderate coffee drinking (a cup or two daily) has its benefits- good for your brain, for example.
Also consider alternating coffee and tea, green tea for example. I have mostly switched to green tea, actually. I love coffee of course, but tea is healthier. It doesn't irritate the stomach as much as coffee does. I mix a tsp of matcha (green tea power) in a cup of hot water and add soymilk and sugar. I love it :)
Enjoy!!!
Q: Would having one cup of coffee an hour before a blood lipid test alter the results?
Even if it did would it be that much? I recently had a blood test after going from 5 to 10 mg of Crestor and my cholesteral was 3 points higher. I can't believe one small cup of coffee could do that.
A: Yes, having one coffee per hour would alter a blood test as the caffeine would kick in. Just don't have one coffee each hour, like beer, spread them over time.
Q: how much coffee powder do i need for one cup of coffee?
I want to make a cup of coffee but i never know how much you are supposed to add.... and so my coffees are always really really strong.
A: I usually use two level teaspoons for one cup. I brew it right in the cup,
covered with a soucer and then stir, all grounds fall to the bottom.
Q: I have a new 8 cup coffee percolator. Haven't used one in years. What brand of coffee beans should I buy?
I mix 1/2 decaf, 1/2 regular grounds now in a 12 cup electric. I'd like to upgrade from the usual canned stuff.
A: Starbucks beans are over priced. Buy a coffee grinder and experiment with different types of whole beans. It depends on your preference, so try a lot.
Q: How much does one cup of whole coffee beans weigh?
I am decorating for a wedding and filling hurricane glassware with whole coffee beans. I need to know how much one cup of whole coffee beans weigh so I know how big of a bag to buy. Thanks!!!
How much, on average, does one cup of whole coffee beans weigh? They aren't going to be made into actual cups of drinkable coffee. They will be used for wedding centerpieces. (I know it's not 8 oz b/c it's 8 fl. oz. in one cup.)
A: OK, I went home and weighed it for you.
One cup 10.7oz or just under 2/3lb

Q: i purchased a coffee cup that i was told came from bubble gum company long ago does any one know about these?
They are little coffee cups with leaves on them. Some of the leaves are gold and some have color to them all the same cup. There is also a leaf inside the cup.
A: I bet you could ask Martha Stewart. Just *google* the name and it will take you to her website.
If she doesn't know I bet she could find out. She collects all sorts of dishes and antiques.
Q: What is the most accurate ratio of caffeine contained in one cup of tea to one cup of coffee?
Assume:
1 12oz cup of : Strong black tea VS regular coffee
A: Black tea has about 25% caffeine content in comparison to coffee.
Q: If I Drink One Cup of Coffee A Day, Should I Be Worried About Losing Calcium In My Bone?
I know that if you drink a lot of caffeine it can weaken your bones but would one cup of coffee a day do that?
I guess i have more than one bone.
A: =) No, that's a very minimal amount of caffeine. If you have a lot of other sources of caffeine in your diet--sodas, etc.-- then perhaps you should cut back a little. But one cup per day isn't going to cause any lasting damage.
That said, you should always eat enough dairy and produce to make sure you're getting enough calcium. If you feel your diet is lacking or just want some extra insurance, there are calcium vitamin supplements available in drugstores.
Q: Is one cup of coffee a day safe during pregnancy?
I have read that caffeine is okay as long as you keep it under 300mg. But after reading a question on here yesterday, i am paranoid! I'm having a really hard time giving up my coffee! I only ever drink one per day, and I think this is safe. I would appreciate solid information based on knowledge.
A: You are 100% correct. Caffeine in moderation is considered "safe". I think its actually 250mg a day, but I'll check for you. None the less, 1 cup of coffee a day is OK. You could switch to de-caff if that would help you feel better.

This site says 200mg. Still, one cup of coffee is fine. I've seen a website that suggests any consumption of caffeine can increase your chances of a miscarriage, but I really just think its a scare tactic. Just go with your gut.
Q: one cup of coffee can do this?
i drunk a cup of coffee which i dont normally do. maybe it was too cups idk but a lil after i drunk it i felt unusually full of energy maybe hyper. i drunk it so i wouldnt feel sleepy in school. that coffee really helps. it better than watered down gaterade. why do coffee make you so hyper.
that was my first time drinking the crap because it is nasty usually.
A: after you drunk it? lmao! its just the amount of caffine yes coffee does this
Q: one cup of coffee and started throwing up?
i'm 15,
i haven't eaten anything.
but i had a cup of coffee
and have diarrhea and started throwing up?
i take meds for acid reflux, but its for eating.
why would all of this happen from just coffee?
A: my first thing I did when I was pregnant was I threw up coffee--I hope that's not the case for you.
But also if you're taking stuff for acid reflex, coffee is the worst you could be having plus at 15 what the heck are you drinking that stuff for anyway?!
Ok that was the mom in me but seriously take it easy!!
Q: Will just one cup of coffee hurt?
I'm recovering from a kidney infection. All I have been drinking is water. I have been five days without a cup of coffee, and I think I need one. NOW.
Will it send my kidneys back into all sorts of pain?
A: No you should be ok.
Q: Anyone know how to make coffee pods for the one cup makers?
I love my new one cup at a time coffee maker but the coffee pods are soooo expensive. I would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas. Thanks
A: What you can do is when the old coffee pods are used, don't throw them away, instead, open a tiny corner of the pod, empty out the old coffee, rinse it out, dry it out and refill them with fresh coffee, (from a can), then seal the open part with a paper clip, that should work fine but of course eventually they will have to be thrown away and a newer one refilled. If anything, this will save you SOME money.
