Can I use this is in recipes that call for "instant espresso powder"?

That's what I use it for....I also use about a tsp in any chocolate recipe....it intensifies the flavor of the chocolate...brownies in particular.

Ground coffee only. For best results grind coffee on espresso setting only. Now the reason it will not work with instant is the fact that putting steam thru it will not allow the right type of brewing, and it will mess with the brewing time.

yes you can, once you place your order, to make sure it is what you get you can send me the request for the powder or even the flavor you wish to have.

No, but you can make an Americano which is shots of espresso and hot water - essentially the same thing as coffee, personally use a good old coffee press for coffee and this lovely machine for everything else.

I believe so, as it is espresso. I use a stove top espresso maker from biliatti. Hope this helps.

Espresso powder made by JAVA & Co. is pure ground espresso - not an instant espresso. It is a cooking and baking ingredient, i.e., chocolate desserts, espresso rub on meats for grilling.

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to. I don't have an espresso machine but I was under the impression that you used ground coffee.

I don't think so, these capsules aren't like "k-cups". The capsules for the VertuoLine have a barcode on them so the machine knows if it's making coffee or espresso.

This is a powder that melts easily into water as it is an instant beverage! I use 1.5 heaping teaspoons for a richer taste. If i mix it with cocoa powder I use only 1 spoon. I like to add soy milk to it for a creamy flavor and never use a sweetener as I like the flavor just as is.

Yes. Instructions for making espresso are included.The results are a very rich smooth espresso. I do not drink espresso, lattes or cappucino daily,so when I make the espresso concentrate I freeze it in ice cube trays as recommended. Then I put the frozen cubes in a ziplock so they are available anytime. I use a SS milk pitcher to heat the milk on the stove top and my Bamix stik blender to froth my milk. Works great for me.

It would depend on the trap mesh your French press uses. This espresso is grounds fine into a powder so if the mesh doesn't have very tiny holes some of the bean will mix with the water portion in the end product. Great idea though. I am a fan of the French press myself. Hope this helped.

You can use any kind of coffee, just grind it fine for expresso or buy espresso ground type.

This is a powder type product. I just add it to hot water, as you would an instant coffee.

I just looked this up online and this would be fine to use in any of the recipes I saw. Looks interesting. I may try it myself. :-)

The machine has a bypass valve so that you can use whole beans or ground coffee. The main point of the bypass is so that if you have regular beans in the hopper, you can make a cup of decaff using through the bypass (or vice versa). But you can only make one shot at a time, one tablespoon of coffee at a time. So, technically yes, you can make coffee with ground espresso, but it would be highly impractical to use that for anything other than the occasional cup.

This product can be used for anything you would use cocoa powder for. It is more like Hershey's cocoa and not like hot cocoa mix. It is not an instant mix, and it is unsweetened.

I have used it to mix vanilla protein powder into coffee. I am not sure what the manufacturers recommendations are but it worked great for me.
