Follow any one of these THREE METHODS.

Use coffee ground medium. Pour boiling water on required amount of coffee in order to bring out the richness and strength. Let simmer slowly for fifteen minutes.
Use finely ground coffee. After the water begins bubbling over the coffee let continue so, percolating slowly from fifteen to twenty minutes until the rich, brown color and strength of the coffee are finally brought out.


Place coffee, ground very finely or pulverized, in bag suspended in co.ee pot and pass the required amount of boiling water.
The filtration method is the quickest way to make coffee but a great deal of care must be given to the bag. It should at all times be kept absolutely clean and sweet. A good method to adopt is to start with a new bag every Sunday morning and immediately after using the bag should be thoroughly cleaned in hot water and kept in a jar of fresh, cold water.
Do not use soap in cleaning the bag.
N. B. - Boiling water must be 212°.
Keep the brew hot. Chilling the brew destroys the affiliation of oils and water and therefore the flavor.
