Coffee Making a Fine Art. To make a really good cup of coffee has always been ranked among the fine arts, perience. requiring considerable skill and ex bo much so, m fact, that many persons have tor a lifetime put up with a decoct on that is coffee only in name. With proper appliances it is not at all difficult to make the very bJst cup of coffee. In boiling coffee we lose all the delicate flavors c-dkitaincd i-a berry, and bring out all the noxious qualities and bitter oils that tend to make consumers dyspeptic and bilious. A native of any of the countries where coffee is grown would ridicu’e and put awav in disgust what the average Ameri can has grown accustomed to as liis morn ing beverage. In Brazil, Ceylon or .lava, after roasting the coffee it is ground to a fine powder, and instead of boiling, very hot water is poured through it and fil tered. .This gives a beautifully clear and pure cup of coffee, without any bit ter or pungent taste. By grinding the coffee very fine doub’e the strength is obtained, making the same quantity of coffee go twice ai far as by the old fashioned way. There is no waste in the the coffee coffee grounds, every available part of being and delicate used, and all the food properties flavors thorough ly extracted. To prevent the lino coffee grounds from getting into the liqu d a special fabric filter is absolutely necessary, made as fine no perforated metal Alter can be enough to preveut the grounds York from getting through .—New Observer.
