All Coffee, and especially Ground Coffee, should be kept in a container that is moisture-proof and as nearly air-tight as possibie, Measure Carefully The amount of Coffee to use depends upon the strength you like. Experiment until you find just the amount of Coffee that suits your taste, then stick to it. Don’t guess! Measure proportions refully, both Coffee and water. Use Grounds Only Once Don’t leave the Coffee grounds in the pot and rés steep for the next meal. Used Coffee grounds are of no more value in making good Coffee than ashes. in building a fire, Use Boiling Water The water used in making Coffee should come to a full boil before it is taken from the fire and poured into the Coffee pot. But don’t let the water and the ground bean boil together after they are mixed, Boil your water, but don’t boil your Coffee! Serve at Once Many a pot of perfect Coffee has been ruined by letting it cool. If you must wait, keep the Coffee piping hot, but never let it boil. Re-cooking injures the flavor.
