Hello jeninems,

Thank you for your question.

Has these instructions for their instant coffees:

"Follow these easy storage and brewing tips for rich and delicious
FolgersŪ Instant Coffee Crystals and Coffee Singles.

For best taste, Folgers Instant Coffee Crystals should be stored for:

Unopened: up to two years 
Opened at room temperature: up to one month 
Opened and refrigerated: up to one month 

For best taste, Folgers Coffee Singles should be stored for: 

Unopened: up to one year

Brewing
Instant Coffee Crystals Directions 

Heat water in the microwave or on the stove until boiling. 
Measure rounded teaspoons into the mug (see usage amount below). 
Pour the water over the crystals. 
Stir and enjoy! (Be careful, the drink will be very hot.) 

Coffee Singles Microwave Directions 

Remove bag from pouch. 
Place one bag into a 6- to 8-ounce cup. 
Add cold water.

Instant Coffee Crystals
For each 6-ounce cup of water, use one slightly rounded teaspoon of
crystals.

Coffee Singles
For each 6- to 8-ounce cup of water, use one bag.

*For stronger flavor with Instant Coffee Crystals, use more powder;
for milder flavor, use less. For stronger flavor with Coffee Singles,
dunk bag up and down for longer than 15 seconds; for milder flavor,
dunk up and down for fewer than 15 seconds."

Cafe Ole is simply coffee topped with steamed milk.

iVillage has good directions for how to steam milk for coffee drinks
at:
http://www.ivillage.com/food/ckschl/bake/qas/0,11749,165775_13516,00.html

"When steaming milk for cappuccino, always use skim, which makes the
best froth. Krups makes a good frother. For it, you heat the milk on
the stove or in the microwave and pour it into the frother, which then
works just like a French coffee press. You move the press up and down
until the correct froth consistency is reached. I have one, and it
makes perfect foamy milk every time. They cost about $18.00, sometimes
less, and can be found in any specialty coffee shop and in major
department stores. Invest in one and you should never have a problem
again. "

Hi,

Sounds good, clouseau - that Krups frother is a great idea. While I
was having a look at this question, I had a thought about the
pronunciation of Coffee Ole:

It's easy to get Cafe au Lait confused with Coffee Ole, because the
pronunciations are so similar. Here's a recipe for each (neither has
anything to do with Folgers):

Cafe au Lait:
