Measure yow CQ
giiess!
don't
EVEN a teaspoonf ul too much or
too little may make all the dif
ference between a good and a bad
cup of Coffee.
The amount of COFFEE to use de
pends upon the strength you like.
Experiment until you find just the
amount of COFFEE that suits your
taste, then stick to it. Don't guess.
Measure proportions carefully, both
COFFEE and water.
Don't try to get more strength by
letting the COFFEE pot stand on the
fire and "overdraw". If you boil your
COFFEE, let it boil for the briefest
instant only. If you use a percolator,
don't let it percolate too long. The
result, if you do, will be a bitter,
"woody" flavor the commonest
fault of badly made COFFEE.
For a drip (or filter) pot use a finely
ground COFFEE as fine as corn meal.
For percolating or steeping use a me
dium grind.
In brewing, the COFFEE grounds
absorb about one-fifth of the water in
the pot. Therefore, to make five cups
of brewed COFFEE, use six cups of
water and in the same .proportion
for larger or smaller quantities. (See
rules for making good COFFEE.)

Six Rule for Making Good Coffee
1 Keep your Coffee fresh preserve the arena te the
lat Fruit-jars art ideal for this purpose.
2 Ueasura proportiona carefull, both Coffee and water.
3 When serving hot Coffee, serve it hot. Never recoek.
4 Use water only at full boiling-point ia making "drio"
, Coffee.
