Ruth Stookey, | Good Coffee Often Dispels Early Morning Ill-humor Do screen stars like coffee ? Love- ly Maureen O’Sullivan gives proof of a positive When this pert Hoilywood personality drinks her brew, it’s from a cup three times the regular size. answer. Irritations, discouragements, those early-morning squabbles, very often can be easily dissolved with a cup of hot steaming coffee, whose delic- ious flavor is bound to cure any ill- humor. So, if you want to add buoy- ancy to your own disposition, as well as to others, here are some cof- fee-making methods that will turn you into a veritable good-will am- bassador. Be sure that your coffee pot is scrupulously clean. Wash it thor- oughly after each using with plenty of soap and hot water and then rinse thoroughly with hot water. Be sure to clean such parts as the spout and any tubes or baskets in the pot. Use fresh coffee. The flavor of roasted coffee deteriorates rapidly when in contact with the air. To in- sure freshness you can use vacuum- packed coffee or one that bears a roasting date not more than 2 or 3 days previous to the date of pur- chase, Use as fine a grind as is pos- sible with your coffee pot. Too fine a grind will give a muddy brew. Too coarse a grind will make it difficult to extract the flavor, The proportions of coffee and wa- ter suggested below suit the average taste and are intended as recom- mendations only. You can use any proportion that suits your prefer- ence. In any case, always measure the coffee and water carefully. Use standard measuring cups and spoons. Steeping Method: Measure 2 level tablespoonfuls of coffee for each standard measuring cupful of water into the pot. Pour the measured amount of boiling water over the coffee and stir well. Cover and let stand on an asbestos mat over low heat or in a warm place 6 to 10 minutes. Strain. Percolator Method: Measure cold water into the percolator and 2 lev- el tablespoonfuls of coffee for each measuring cupful of water into the basket. Cover and place over heat. Allow water to percolate slowly over the coffee for 7 to 10 minutes (timing should begin when a slight color appears in water seen in glass top. Remove basket with grounds as soon as coffee has percolated a sufficient length of time. Drip Method: Preheat the pot with boiling water. Measure 2 level tablespoonfuls of coffee for each measuring cupful of water into the upper compartment. Pour the meas- ured boiling water over the coffee. Cover and let stand on an asbestos mat over low,heat or in a warm place where coffee will keep hot, but not boil. The water should drip through in 6 or 10 minutes. When dripping is completed, remove up- per compartment with grounds, Vacuum Method: Measure water into lower bowl and apply heat. Do not place upper bowl in position un- til the water boils. Adjust the filter in the upper part and measure in 2 level tablespoonfuls of coffee for each standard measuring cupful of water. Place on lower bowl. Water will almost immediately be forced through the center tube into upper level. When all but the small amount of water below the bottom of the tube has risen, stir the mix- ture in the upper bowl. Turn off the electric current or turn the gas flame very low. (The water should remain: in the upper bowl 2 to 5 minutes—2 minutes for a very fine grind and 5 minutes for a very coarse grind.) The coffee should then return to the lower bowl. (The cooling of the lower bowl creates a vacuum which draws the coffee down into the lower compartment.) Remove the upper bowl. Coffee is at its best when freshly made, therefore serve at once with sugar and cream to suit the indi- vidual taste. Do not attempt.to use left-over brew or once-used grounds when making a new lot of coffee, \ For young fellows who just won't stay inside during cold weather Boys’ Mackinaws 5.95 to 14.95 Before buying a mackinaw for your boy, be sure to see the latest styles at The Boston Store.
