Good morning to all the coffee drinkers here
I have some tips for those who use coffee machines like Tassimo or Keurig,
Always use filtered water like Brita or bottled ( there is a filter in the bottom, but you will need to clean more often if you use just tap water. There is a hole at top of the water container and it will add dust to your water, so I put a doubled paper towel over that and I put the yellow cleaner disc on top as you never want to lose that as you need it to clean your machine.
everyday empty out water container and use fresh cold water(Brita) for the best tasting coffee
if you like a large coffee for your take along to work mug, use the coffee that says Breakfast by Nabob, it makes double the amount of other brands
if you have a large cup like I do, you might think that your cup is only half full, but I add Cashew milk(the best tasting for adding to coffee) plus lactose free coffee cream, if you want more fat in the morning add 1 or 2 tbsp. coconut oil to your coffee(it isn't yucky like you might think, your coffee will taste smoother) you can also add 1 or 2 tbsp. heavy cream as well
reheat in micro to make as hot as you like, about 40-50 seconds for a large cup
I also use Xylitol for a great tasting sugar sub., just make sure your pets don't get a hold of it as it is dangerous to their health.
Xylitol does not have a bad after taste, so it is the only one I use for all my baking needs, and you don't need a lot for a great taste.
You can buy Dezcal powder to descale your Tassimo or Keurig at Walmart in the coffee machines isle, it is in a blue and white box
Hope this helps someone, I learned this from experience.
Enjoy your beautiful coffees <3
