Starbucks Coffee Recipes and Pods

Where can you find the world famous Starbucks coffee recipes? They are a secret but you can find “copy cat” recipes that taste just like Starbucks coffee when you search on the internet.

Have you used a coffee pod yet? You may have and not even known you were. As if this doesn’t sound delicious enough, just imagine Starbucks coffee pods.

The Senseo from Philips in Europe is a great machine that uses pods, which has been all the rage in Europe for the last few years. Philips is in the process of bringing this machine into the United States for about the same price as your standard drip machine. The system forces steaming water through ground beans at super high pressure. It’s the same technique that most leading coffeehouses use the most because it makes consistently a top-notch, single serving of coffee in under a minute.

First, you use self-contained, individual coffee pods and turn them into tasty coffee that you’ll be proud to share with your houseguests. The coffee pods system also allows you to customize the cup size and cup strength of every cup of joe for the perfect recipe.

Choose from a cup size, for example, of seven ounces, nine ounces, or 14 ounces. Decide on a light breakfast blend, an afternoon pick me up strength, or the toe clenching, rocket fuel variety of brew. It makes it a cinch to brew a precisely measured portion of coffee. You won’t have to worry about the problem of wasting an entire pot of coffee.

What’s more, the coffee pods give you that just-opened taste every time you make java. That makes them a clean sweep: the benefits of Starbucks coffee with the perks of staying home.

Pour only the best coffee in your cups and mugs

Don’t settle for second rate coffee in the morning. Bad coffee, of course, is a cinch to make. But if you want the tastiest and freshest java for your morning wake up call, you need to take certain precautions before it even hits your coffee mugs.

First off, start with fresh cold water in your coffee machine if you want something delicious in your mugs. The temperature of the water is also important to deciding what ends up in your coffee mugs. Water that is too cool, on the other hand, won’t suck out all of the flavor from your grounds, leaving no flavor in your mouth after a few cups.

The best temperature for coffee is between 195 degrees and 205 degrees. If you press brewing your morning coffee cups, reach this optimal water temperature by letting your water wait for a moment after it comes to a boil. For your typical dip coffee machines, you can get a similar effect by pre-heating the pot. Do this by pouring hot water into the empty carafe, which will warm it, and then dump this water out to start brewing.

Next, make sure you have the correct grind for your particular coffee machine. You need to choose your coffee grinds from the two main groups, depending if you are using a press pot or an electric machine. For press pots, you’ll want to grind your own beans for about 10 second in your typical, inexpensive blade grinder. For electric brewers and other drip machines, you’ll need to grind your own beans for about 15-20 seconds.
