Stewing the Sponge
Coffee
Week
Oct.
17-23
Coffee may be likened unto
a sponge saturated with honey,
the "honey," or very essence
of coffee, being the, volatile
oils; the "sponge," or fiber, be
ing merely the container. It is
this fiber or "grounds" which carries the
tannin and caffeine, and therefore the foiling of
coffee brings out the heaviest proportion of these properties.
The mistaken argument of economy in favor of boiling is
proven by the fact that it does not produce more "honey," but
simply brings out bitterness, caffeine and tannin. The
problem, then, of proper coffee making is to first get a coffee
that contains the most "honey," and then to extract the
"honey" without stewing the "sponge." The simplest, easiest
and most effective method will appear over my signature in
this paper tomorrow.- , ,
.Incidentally it should be remembered that a pound of high
grade 40-cent coffee will produce from 38 to 40 smooth, rich
and delicious cups, a cost of 1 cent per cup the cheapest
and best enjoyed article on one's table providing it is fresh
roasted and properly brewed.
Its efficiency decreases in twofold ratio with each cent that you
pay under 40 cents per pound; as for example, at the rate of 20 cents
per pound, less than a dozen cups may be secured by the "honey-extracting
process, which represents a cost of about 2 cents per cup.
Moral Get your coffee fresh roasted; and to secure highest ef
ficiency in the cup at the lowest cost, DO NOT PAY LESS THAN 40
CENTS PER POUND. u
