2917.0. "Espresso: Instant Espresso Powder" by ICS::MCKENNA () Mon Feb 18 1991 13:16

    I need to find some instant espress powder for brownies I want
    to make this weekend.  I could not find it at Purity yesterday.
    Could I use regular instant coffee? or where can I buy some.
    
    Thanks,

    Ha.  I entered this same question in the QUARK::COFFEE conference
    and was told that it's available at the Burlington Mall -
    specifically at Alpen Pantry.  Haven't been yet, so I can't confirm
    that - sorry.

I entered a note awhile back looking for the same stuff, and one reply stated
that it could be found at Boston's North End Deli in Nashua.  I don't know if
it's in your area, but if so, then you might want to check it out.  I still
haven't made the recipe that I had wanted it for, so I can't verify for certain
that its there.

2917.4Use Regular (or Decaf) Instant CoffeeCSG002::WEINSTEINBarbara WeinsteinFri Feb 22 1991 12:036
For years I have been making recipes that call for instant expresso powder, 
and I have always substituted regular instant coffee.  In fact, that's the only 
time I ever use instant coffee.  The one thing I do first, however, is to 
put the coffee in between 2 sheets of waxed paper and rub it with the back of 
a spoon to make it into powder.  I doubt that anyone would detect a 
difference.

    Hi Barb.  I wonder, I wonder.
    
    Bought some last night at Alpen Pantry.  They said they've been
    having a run on it recently.  They think it's due to a recipe
    in "Food and Wine" that calls for it.

2917.6Real Esspresso PowderFLOWER::DUNNINGWed Apr 17 1991 16:0413
    For what it's worth.......
    
    I grind my own Esspresso/Coffee......powder fine.
    Many years ago I discovered that the blade attachment on the bottom
    of a Hamilton Beach blender can be removed and fits perfectly on
    the narrow mouth Ball Canning Jars.
    I use the small Jelly Jars for grinding coffee.
    Simply remove the collar, rubber gasket and blade from your blender 
    container fill a ball jelly jar with whole espresso or coffee beans
    and put the blade, gasket, and retaining collar on the ball jar and
    grind away...........great esspresso and coffee.....be careful though
    when you grind the beans that fine "A little goes a long way".
