I made 4 cups of coffee (registered on the coffee maker, but it was actually
only 2-1/2 measured cups). I measured & used 12 Tablespoons of espresso.
Sorry to say, we drank it up and there were no left overs. But I will try
for it again in a larger amount for storage.
Thanks again. It was good.

Shouldn't be any problem. It sounds like you'd finish the batch in 2-3
days, and the coffee would be fine in that period. I've kept brewed
coffee in the fridge up to 5 days and it's been unspoiled. Over 5 days
would probably make me nervous, tho, even if there's no sign of
spoilage. Three days sounds about right to also ensure that the coffee
stays flavorful.

What are you making them with? If you are a regular drinker, it's worth it,
IMO, to invest in an espresso machine. After that, it's easy. If you like
the flavored drinks get some syrups. Monin and DaVinci are good, not as
sweet as Torani and such. Then it's just a matter of putting together the
right amounts to make the drink you like.

True, and I drink my coffee straight most of the time. I add cream if I
make iced coffee.

There is truly no accounting for the differences in our taste buds -- I
drink my coffee always with cream, and iced coffee without.

Ooops! Just found a coupon for Costco in my purse -- $4 off their regular
price, with coupon 3-28 thru 4-3, for Starbuck Frappuccino Mocha or Variety
Pack.

Okay. I was mainly responding to your earlier dogma: "A cappuccino is made
by first making espresso. Then adding frothed (steamed) milk. There is NO
other way."

If you now say the two methods are equivalent, I see no reason to belabor
the issue. I'm not persnickety about cappuccino in any case. Hell, I even
like it cold.

If you ever make it to Gulf Breeze Florida, stop in my shop and I'll make you one.

NOW you tell me! Just before last Halloween I drove from Stuart, FL, to New
Orleans. I could have USED a cappuccino when I got to Pensacola!

Buy a cheap Gaggia (we got our pair for about $400 dollars, and free
shipping!). it's the artisan variety, which means that ours comes out
better than it has any right to.

BTW, does turkey grow/export coffee? what does it taste like?

Steamed milk is my favorite coffee drink! (if it comes out of the
espresso machine, that means it's still a coffee drink, right?)
