Cover beans with water, 1 to 2 inches over the beans; soak overnight. Pour into a strainer and rinse. Return to pan and cover with water, 2 to 3 inches over beans as they will expand during cooking. You can add salt if you wish. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 60 to 90 minutes depending on how firm you want them. I like to make hummus so cook mine on the longer side. If you like a firmer bean for salads and stews, cook them around 60 minutes and check them. I also cook a larger amount, drain and dry them, put them in 2 cup serving sizes then freeze them.

i think you can use whatever beans you want--i use decaf espresso so that i can use our coffeemaker for caffeinated. i think the manual said how fine, but i can't remember. i know it's not the super fine, like an espresso machine and it's not the really coarse grind, so it's in between. just start with a middle setting and if you start to get sludge in the bottom, it's too fine.

Hi. You can use any coffee ground from beans to espresso fineness. You can also use pods but freshly ground coffee is best. Enjoy.

What type/brand did you use? I can't make soy work and I've bought three kinds so far.

Yes. My recipe is for Calico Beans, but my mom made traditional Baked Beans. With traditional beans, you need to soak them first. (Calico Beans use canned beans.). Then you add all the ingredients and you bake in the oven. My son had the same question. He thought the bean pot was just for serving, until I gave him more information about making beans.

You should be able to use jelly beans. Just watch the size and keep the machine in a climate control area.

I don't think it has a strong bean flavor,I think a tomatoe sauce would be good,I made it with a salsa type sauce

There are a least 100 beans or more. And you only need three or four to make 8 oz of extract and they send you a recipe with the beans in how to make an extract. I have more than I know what to do with.

Best way is for 1 minute at a time in the microwave. Shake it a bit. Don't burn the bean, they will smell!

I only use regulsr beans, but think thst regular beans and ground decaf beans would be the only practical approach.

I didn't find it ground anything very well. Definitely not coffee beans. Nuts maybe. I had no luck with flax seeds -- just got gummed up in the works. I'd pass on this product.

The beans are hard and dried. You can grind them like a coffeebean Getting the shells off is tricky-you can grind them with the shells on in a coffee grinder, which adds a sort of nutty flavor.

I haven't tried cooking them but I can't imagine why you couldn't. One issue might be different cooking times if you have a bag of mixed beans.

I have not found any other solutions for this issue, I have the same problem and just stir the beans while it is making the shot

Well, I guess the bean paste is too thick for this machine to make. consider this machine will boil/heat the combination of crushed beans, sufficient water is a key element. Too less water will cause demage to the pot itself. I made soy milk with this machine and it works pretty good, every time after the soy milk is filtered out there are some gounded beans left, that is very thick, like a paste. But that is a by-product.
