Frequently Asked Questions – General Inquiries

 

How much coffee do I use?

The answer depends on how strong you like your coffee. The more coffee you use the stronger the taste will be. A Good rule of thumb – use 8 tablespoons for a 10-12 cup coffee pot.

How many calories are in your flavored coffee?

The flavorings we use are an oil base so they do not add any calories to a cup of coffee. A cup of coffee has about 5 calories.

Should I keep my coffee in the refrigerator?

NO. Coffee is very susceptible to odors and will pick up the smells in your refrigerator. Opening the refrigerator frequently will also cause the coffee to draw moisture and that will cause it to lose flavor. If you have to store it, put it in the freezer in an airtight container but only for a short period of time.

Do I pay tax and shipping charges?

If you prefer to have the coffee shipped to you, shipping charges will be added. Only orders shipped in Kansas will be charged sales tax.

Why does coffee sometimes upset my stomach?

How much caffeine is in a shot of espresso?

Somewhere between 30 and 100 mg. but the average is about 75 mg* *Mayo Clinic-Journal of food and science 2010, 2011. *National coffee association.

How much caffeine in regular brewed coffee and dark roasted coffee?

Are we talking Arabica or Robusta coffees? Robusta coffees have more caffeine and will be on the higher side of this scale. Arabica coffees are 80 mg to 200 mg (Average is about 110) but then the darker the roast the more caffeine is removed, resulting in the espresso having less caffeine per shot as opposed to an 8 oz cup of coffee.* *Mayo Clinic-Journal of food and science 2010, 2011. *National coffee association.
