COFFEE. After the dessert comes coffee, and it is now tilting that we should make a tew re marks on coffee, its properties and quali ties, and the best manner of making that agreeable and stimulating beverage. The coffee tree is a native of Arabia. The use of the berry extended itself to Mecca, Me dina, and then to Cairo in Egypt. It con tinued its progress northward; and in 1554, under the reign of !?olyman the Great, be came known to the inhabitants of Constan tinople. The V enetians introduced coffee to the western parts of Europe. In 184 l it was brought to Marseilles, ami in 1057 to l’aris. According to Le Grand D’Aus sav, the custom of drinking coffee became general in Paris'in 16511, through the ex ample of Soliman .4gn, ambassador of Mahomet i\*. The coffee is an evergreen shrub, rising to twenty feci in height. The fruit is a round tleshy berry, and great care is taken to conduct little rills of water in small channels to the roots of the trees. The berrv grown in Arabia issmaller iti in that of the East and West Indies, blit its flavour is much finer, because in Aral ia the soil is rockv, drv, and hot. 'J'lie trees are watered by artificial means, and there fore the proper quantity of moisture only is imbibed by them. Almost all studious, hard-working men love coflee, and this is not wonderful, as it is, when properly made, a delightful, innoxious, and exhilar ating beverage. “It is a slow poison,’ said someone to Voltaire, who saw him drinking strong eoflee. ‘lt must be a very slow poison indeed,’ rejoined the wit, ‘as 1 have been taking it now for more than seventy years.’ llow often must a man who laboured as Voltaire did have requi red a beverage which excited the nerves and exhilarated the spirits, without pro ducing the baneful effects of those stimu lating liquids mid narcotic substancesj which act on the brain? In cases of ex treme beat or cold, eoflee is the most salu tary beverage, as it not only warms and ixhilarates the system, but dissipates ilie langour produced either by fatigue or the influence of the climate or weather. How many writers are there who have vaunted the good effect of coffee? Edd ie and Lebrun have praised its virtues, in well-tuned verses. The poem entitled *Les Disputes of Rulhiere’ originated in eoflee. Fontenelle, who lived more than 100 years, is lavish in its praise. Mon tesquie has consecrated to the brown am brosial berry some eloquent and sounding peaiods; and Rousseau and tiuffhn, tin most eloquent of prose writers, have not forgotten to record the brilliant inspirations which they owed to its influence. Nor nre these the only triumphs of the brain clearing beverage. Heroes, and states men, and philosophers, have bowed down before the filagree cups; and Frederick of Prussia and Napoleon, Talleyrand, and Cambaeeres.nnd Metterriich.Porlails, and Corvisart, and Cuvier have all acknow ledged and felt the inspiration and good ef fects of coffee. It is a remarkable fact, that during the retreat of the Frau< h from Russia, such soldiers a3 refrained from brandy, and took only eoflee, escaped being frost-bitten., or any of the diseases arising from the expo sure to cold. There is no part of the world m which better coflee is sold than in London, more especially the Mocha cof fee of Twining (which may be purchased unground and unroasted.at 2s. 2d. the lh., whole and roasted, or ground and roasted at Os the lh.) yet there is no spot in this' wicked world, we verilv believe, where coffee is generally so badly made as in | this great wilderness ofa metropolis. This ; arises from several causes, Ist, the pur chasing coffee ground and roasted. The consumption and sale of the article is so small in England compared to France, that in many of the shops the ground cof fee is a week, and in many a fortnight, or a month, old; and, being too frequently exposed to the influences of weather and climate, the aroma has. entirely evapora ted. There is scarcely a shop in London where coflee is daily roasted; and even if there were such a shop, the quantity pur chased tor private consumption is genet al ly so large, and the use of it so unfrequt rr in families, that the flavour, in so humid h climate, is gone long before the coffee is consumed. The Turks, who are our mas ters in making coffee, do not employ a mill to tntnratethe berry, but pound it in mor tars with pestles or mallets of wood. The second reason why the coffee is in ferior in England is, that the berry is bur ned instead of being roasted, and is con- bitter, and burnt, instead of be ing fine flavored and aromatic. The third reason is, that at hotels, cof fee houses, clubs and even in private hou ses, enough of the coffee (even though it were good) is not infused; and the fourth reason may be found in the addition of an excess of water. Now, in the first place, the roasting of coffee should he carefully watched and superintended by an intelli- gent person. The moment the berry crackles, and becomes crisp enough to pulverise, it is sufficiently roasted. Once' taken nfFihe roaster, it should be placed in several thick folds of flannel, to undergo the process of cooling. This preserves the essential oil in the coffee, and prevents the aroma from escaping. When the cof fee is cool, place it in an air tight canis ter. Sufficient f»r the day should be the coffee thereof. In oiher words, never roast, if you can avoid it, more than for a single day’s consumption,—certainly not more than for two or three davs. Grind or pound your coffee not more tliana quar ter of an hour before you want to make the infusion. There are various methods of prepar ing the infusion. Any one of them would have the effect of producing verv tolera ble coffee, if the directions we have given touching the roasting and grinding of the berry were attended to, and a sufficient quantity of the powdered coffee used. But unfortunately, English servants, wlmdrink tea or beer, are ignorant of, or insensible to the true flavour of coflee, and a ; they tlo not partake themselves ot the tever- age, become indifferent to its preparation. The coffee produced by them is, indeed, drowned in a deluge of water, and de serves the title given it in an old track cal led the “Petition against Coffee,’ namely *a base, black, thick, nasty, bitter, stink ing puddle water.’ The best coffee in the world, taken al together, isccrtainly made in Paris, though wo have occasionally tasted at private houses in England, where the master was a ‘gourinaut,’ arid the servants disciplin ed liner coffee than was ever brewed eith er at the ‘Cafe Foy’ or the Case Corraz za.’ And the only wonder is, that it should not be always so; for, as we before obser ved, the very finest qualities of coffee come to the London market. For the last forty years, a great deal of taucifulness has prevailed in Paris as to the best manner of making coffee. Much ot this arose, no doubt, from the inordi nate love which Napoleon exhibited for coffee; as every one was desirous to im prove upon the favorite beverage of the liitle Corsican and great conquerer. Pro jects of all kinds were started to make cos t lee without roasting it, without grinding it, to infuse it cold, to make it boil three quarters of an hour, Sc c. Another mode was to run the cold water several times! through the powder, another to infuse the .coffee over night. But notwithstanding ■hese vagaries, coffee is generally well! j made in France. It is true that it is most commonly adulterated by the admixture! ot ‘chicoree,’ hut there is nothing noxious) im the endive. It merely adds a bitterness j jto the coffee, and is adopted, we believe, jin nine instances out of ten from motives I of economy. The most unusual method of making coffee in France is a ‘Dubelloy,’ which consists in pouring boiling water on col'-: tee placed in a porcelain or silver vase cul tendered or pierced with very small holes, i This first decoction is poured off heated i to boiling heat, passed again through the coffee-pot, when a clear and exquisite cof fee is produced. More than a full sized table-spoonful of coffee should be allowed i lor each guest in making a smali cup of coffee alter ilinner. MsEiSM JYOTWCES.
