KOSHER COFFEE + DAIRY
A quick visual guide for shopping & preparing—based on mainstream halachic guidance you shared.
WHAT TO BUY
- Unflavored beans/grounds in clean, kosher gear.
- Flavored/decaf need reliable hechsher (esp. for Pesach).
- Dairy to match your standard (e.g., Cholov Yisroel if kept).
Before bracha: Shehakol
LOOK FOR
- Reliable kashrut symbols on milk/creamers & on flavored/decaf coffee.
- For Pesach: KP labels for dairy, decaf, and any additives.
- Clear ingredient panels—avoid cereal-derived flavors on Pesach.
KITCHEN RULES
- Use dairy-dedicated pitchers/steam wands—or clean thoroughly between uses.
- No cross-contam from uncertified flavored beans/syrups.
- After-bracha depends on drinking a shiur in time; many sip without it.
SHABBAT SETUP
- Pre-boil in an urn before Shabbat; keep hot.
- On Shabbat: pour to kli sheni (many prefer kli shlishi), then add coffee & milk.
- No grinding/cooking; don’t add unboiled water to the urn.
Summary for quick reference; local practice varies—ask your rav for personal psak.
