Before you get started there are some simple tips you should know about while you’re in the kitchen:

  • Try to use the type of coffee that is recommended. If a recipe calls for brewed ground coffee and you use brewed whole bean coffee, the results might not be as desired.
  • If using brewed coffee in a recipe, remember to pay attention to the brew strength. If you use strong coffee when it calls for regular brewed coffee, the recipe could taste different than desired.
  • Some recipes call for instant coffee crystals to be added in the granular (dry) form. This is described as “Folgers Instant Coffee Crystals.” Regular coffee grounds are not recommended for these recipes.
