Preparation of Coffee In SIIiman's Journal
we find a notice of .memoir on Coffee by the
distinguished French chemist, M. Payen. The
results brought out by his chemical researches
agreercxacty with facts previously known in re-
guFd TO this nrtlcle A great error in the pfePa-
ration of coffee is that tits burned too much, by
which the liquid, when II is brought to the Table,
is destitute Of agreeable flavor, and has a bitter
unpleasant taste. :The reason of this is'shown.a
-" Coffee roasted onI iEit becomes Chilly red
preserves tho maximum outweigh and aroma, but
gives out less colorng natter In this state, 100
pounds are found to havelost1 S, but have inereas

the increase in volume islfrom l001o 1853. This
swelling of the grain depends upon the property
which the nitrogcous matter deposited within the
tissue has of putting up remarkably when heated.
ri:. IF the heat is continued untiha dark brown
color is produced, andlthe grain is covered with
