bitter. A pint of coffee can be made in four
minutes, using powdered coffee.
Perhaps the most attractive form of filter
ing machine consists of glass bowl in which
the water is placed, while a covered glass
funnel fitted into the top holds the puver-
lied coffee on a filter cloth stretched over
the mouth of the funnel. This cloth is tied
over perforated metal disk mounted on a
rod which runs the length of the tube and is
secured by wing nut.
The water is boiled by the heat from an
alcohol flame or radiant electric unit and
forced up into the funnel by steam pressure
at boiling temperature. There it comes into
contact with the coffee, and extraction rapidly
takes place. Upon removing the lamp the
beverage flows downward into the bowl, and
is ready to serve unless greater strength is
desired. 1t can be sent upward two or three
times by reapplying the heat.
This type of coffee machine is very popu-
lar because it is sanitary, delicious drink of
maximum wholesomeness and deicousness is
produced and the whole process can be easily
carried out at the dining table.
Why Coffee Grinder?
Coffee deteriorates so quickly after being
ground that an expert coffee tester can de-
tect the loss Of flavor and aroma that takes
place with one day intervening between the
grinding and brewing

The Easiest WAY
Is Not the Best

Percolating is probably the most popular
method, as it is easiest Finely Ground cofree
Is held in a perforated metal basket. and the
water is sprayed over it, being repeatedly
pumped up through the tube starting luke
warm. 1t gets hotter during the process. but
does not boil. Most authorities agree that the
best flavor cannot be obtained with water below
the boiling point, and chemical analysis shows
that the longer the water is in contact with
the grounds the more tannin is extracted
ADorn quotes boiled and percolated coffee
as containing 2.21 to 2.90 grains of tannin to
cup, while filtered had only one-fifth to one
fourth of a grain. The amounts of caffein

pot when using the pulverized coffee in the
filter.
If strong after-dinne~ coffee is desired the
amount of coffee is generally doubled. Manv
housekeepers make several hltratons or boil
the coffee longer to obtain the stronger coffee
but this practice is generally conceded to de-
base the flavor and to extract more tannin,
giving more acrid or bitter taste to the bev-
erage and making it less wholesome as well
New-York tribune., 1918-07-14
The Importance Of Grinding
Your Own Coffee

Coffee should be ground jr3t before making.
When ground coffee stands the volatile oils
escape from the ruptured cells, and even a
tightly sealed container, while it minimizes
the loss, cannot prevent it entirely
Therefore it is the best practice to grind
the coffee Immediately before making, in order
TO get the maximum aromatic flavor.
There are certain comparisons for the differ
ent granulations, which Mr.. Edward Aborn.
of the National Coffee Roasters' Association
has very clearly described:
Coarse granulations, like coarse and fine
hominy. '0 ''''0
Medium granulations, like coarse and fine
granulatcd sugar. cav ''''0

Powdered granulations, like flour.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-14
Filtration Is the Method
Approved by Science

In the filtration method boiling water is
poured over the pulverized coffee, both coffee
and water being in the best conditions for ex
traction. If water is poured through more
than once the liquid becomes darker, but more
tannin is extracted, and some hold that the
flavor deteriorates
