Cooking with Folgers Coffee Tips

There are some things you should know about cooking with coffee. Here are some tips:

• Try to use the type of coffee that is recommended. If a recipe calls for brewed ground and
you use brewed whole bean, 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 granules.” Never add regular coffee grounds to
these recipes.
