Coffee

DDV CULINARY

Old Java and Mocha are the best coffees.
A coffee roaster is the best thing to roast coffee in, but an iron pot is very good;
coffee should be dried gradually before being roasted.
"Dripped" coffee is the French mode, but many make it in the old-time way by boiling.
It is a matter of personal taste, not to be interfered with in this "land of the free."
To make dripped coffee we grind a cupful for four persons,
put this ground coffee in the top of the dripper and pour on half a pint of boiling water.
It is served with boiling milk at breakfast.
