SIMPLE RULES FOR MAKING COFFEE

Use ONE part Coffee to EIGHT parts water--i.e.,To one cup even full of dry ground Coffee, use eight cups of water. Have your Coffee ground as fine as ordinary granulated Sugar, or so that the larger particles will not exceed  in size the head of a pin. Place your Coffee in the pot, and pour the boiling water on it. Be sure the water is boiling. Then allow the entire contents to boil three minutes (not longer). Then pour into the hot Coffee a large tablespoonful of Cold Water; this will force the grounds to the bottom and render the liquid clear as wine. Serve as soon as the directions are completed. A delay of fifteen minutes will allow much of the aroma and flavor to escape.

The above rules apply to the making of COFFEE in the plain, old-fashioned cylinder Coffee Pot. Should you use a Patent Pot, follow the directions accompanying it.
