DOUGHNUTS ARE BETTER IF C00KEE A FEW AT A TIME Likewise Coffee Ha,s More Delicious Flavor When Roasted iii Small Lots Experience shows that if too rhany doughnuts are 'put into the hot fat. at once, the cooking process ia hindered. The .temperature of the fat is reduced and the dough nuts become greasy. A similar situation occurs tehen coffee is roasted in bulk. It is diffi cult to apply the heat evenly, and as a result some -of the eoffefi berries may , be overdone anc sornjj, underdone. Such variation in the roast causes disappointing varia tion in flavor. Hills Bros, overcame this by in venting and patenting a process COntrdlled Roasting that roasts every coffee berry evenly.
