No Secrets to Making
Perfect Cup of Coffee
Can Be Achieved By Following A Few Simple
Rules Says Famous Cooking Expert
By Mildred Maddocks Bentley
Formerly Director of Good Hoiuoktping jiutltuM
What Is the secret of first-rate coffee'
the kind that starts the day right
that makes you feel "like a million
dollars" T
i Literally hundreds of women and a
surprising number of men have u.'iei
me this question in one form or an
other. And it's an Important one for
what can be more blighting to domestic
happiness than a cup of muddy coffee
or coffee improperly "creamed"? And,
on the contrary, what can be more ex
hilarating than a good cup fragrant,
golden, delicious T - . .
! Luckily there's no hidden secret
about making and serving the perfect
coffee it's just a matter of minding
your p's and q's and following a few
simple directions.
Selection of Coflo
There are many excellent brands of
coffee in the market the choice of one
of these is largely a matter of individ
ual taste. But I do want to say that
usually coffee In the bean retains its
flavor longer than In the ground form
so, If possible, buy the whole; beans
and grind your coffee fresh for each
meal. If, however; the breakfast hour
or fifteen minutes is too hectic to
admit of this extra step, at least keep
your ground coffee in an air tight con
tainera glass fruit jar for instance.
And it's well to remember that the
more finely the coffee is ground, the
easier It Is to extract its full strength
and flavor consequently finely-ground
coffee Is economical and time-saving.
The Coffee Pot
Connoisseurs maintain that coffee
brewed In a metal pot has a less dell
cate flavor than in a container of glass,
stone-ware or agate. Whatever kind
of coffee pot you prefer it should be
scoured frequently and occasionally
"boiled out" with water to which a
pinch of baking soda has been added
then rinsed, dried, and left uncovered.
If a percolator Is used, the pipe
should be carefully washed every day
with a brush to remove all scum from
the preceding brew.
For drip coffee, if you do not have a
special drip eoffee pot, an ordinary one
eaninned with double cheesecloth
bag will serve the purpose. The cheese
cloth should be washed In cold water
after using and renewed at least once
a week. Keep the bag always moist.
' The "Cremmlni"
This I consider quite as important as
the actual brewing. Good coffee en so
easily be spoiled by using cream of in
ferior quality or the "top of the bottle"
if carelessly poured off. In my study
of food habits, I am finding that every
year more and more people prefer
sweetened condensed milk in their cof
fee. You see this kind is twice as rich
and creamy as ordinary milk and fur'
thermore already contain tugar, thus
serving the additional purpose . of
sweetening the coffee. Try it fop a'
few days, and I think you will agree
that the condensed milk gives a delight
fully rich, smoothly blended drink,
bringing out the real coffee flavor
And of course it is very convenient, as
it keeps fresh without ice even after
the can is opened and the cost is ex
tremely moderate.
Now as to the actual methods of
brewing. There are several and your
choice is entirely a matter of individ
ual taste. If the directions are care
fully followed, any of the methods will
yield the ''perfect cup of coffee" mel
low in flavor, with a delicate, fragrant
aroma, free from sediment and of a
dark golden hue.
Boiled Coffee . " ?
Ulnar the pot with hot water, put the coffee In the pot -one
rounded tablespoon of medium-ground codes
to etch cup ol bolllnf water, with n additions, 1
spoon "for tho pot." Add little white ol egg, or
crushed est (hell and about one-fourth cup of cold
wate', nlrrlnc briskly. Add the boiling water, plare
the codea pot ever beat, and brine to a full boll.
Place on back of the stove or over low beat for about
ten minutes to settlo, before serving. Do not allow
the eoflos to become unsettled by careless pouring.
Percolated Coflee
Use oos cup of finely-ground eoffee to six cups of
boiling water. Place the eofleo In the strainer in the
upper part of the pot and let the water bubble up
through the tube, percolating through the coffee Into
the lower part, until the coffee is of the desired
strength, five minutes being the usual time required.
Serve at once. Coflee made in a percolator is not
good If allowed to cook after the required strenztn
Is reached.
Drip Coffee
Heat the pot by rinsing In hot wster, and wet the
strainer. Measure carefully the coffee (nnely-ground)
allowing One rounded tablespoon to each cup of
water Place In the drlp-medlum and pour botllr.t
water througn tho eoffee very slowly. Cover and kt
stand to dnp throwb and serve Immediately. Do not
allow the brew to cool. If service Is delsyed. plaee the
pot In or over not water. Never reheat by placing
over U sra. StMpcdCofIe,
In making steeped coflee use one rounded tablespoon
of couee to each cup of water used, with sn addition I
sooon for the pot. Add cold water. Place over the
fire and bring quickly to toe boiling point EWkt
it s'and for a moment to settle or add little eoid
water.
Remember the best coffee will lose
its flavor if allowed to stand. Coffee
should always be freshly made and
served piping hot, as soon as It is
brewed. If necessary to let stand, the
pot should be tightly covered and the
gpout closed by stuffing with soft cloth
or paper, so that none of the aroma
and flavor may be lest.
