Cleanse the coffee, dry and roast the berries evenly but quickly, until they are browned to the centre, and are of a dark chestnut color. Grind as you use it, keeping the rest in a closely covered glass can. Allow one heaping tablespoon of ground coffee for every person, and one or two over. Mix with the grounds, a part or whole of an egg, according to the amount of coffee used. Pour boiling water in the coffee-pot before using, and scald it well; then put in the coffee and pour over half as much water as will be used. Let the coffee froth up, stir down the grounds, and let it boil for about five minutes; then stand the coffee-pot where it will be hot (but not to boil the coffee), for five or ten minutes longer. Mocha is the richest and most delicate flavored coffee. Old Government Java is an excellent coffee, and more economical than Mocha. An excellent authority in coffee making allows to one pound of Mocha coffee, five quarts of water made after the above recipe.
