    Default Leftover Coffee Equals Frappuccinos

    I save the leftover coffee in my coffeepot each morning. I refrigerate it and about once a week, I make frappuccinos. I pour the leftover coffee into my blender, add some ice cubes, a little milk, and a little sugar or Splenda and I blend. It gets frothy and tastes just like the frappuccinos they sell in coffee houses. We love it.

    I went to a coffee shop once and they froze the left over coffee into cubes so the frapaccinos would't dilute when melted! Yum... i'll be doing this soon too!

    Brew some dark spiced tea and add some honey milk and cubes to make a Chai Frap! Mmmmm.

    I use a French press, think this will work for me? Coffee for a French press is ground much coarser than for a coffee machine.

    I don't see why it wouldn't. Your not using the grounds just the coffee! And I like using a french press for my loose teas and coffees.

    Oh. Well I usually don't have leftover coffee, and if I do I just reheat it.

    Good idea. I've never had a frappichino or cappichino or anything like that so I will try this. In the winter, I used to mix hot coco mix with my coffee and liked that (so did everyone else who mooched it from my thermos!).
