There are several ways of making coffee; and every housewife generally has her favorite mode. The French make excellent coffee without the aid of eggs, isinglass, or any foreign article to settle it. It consists of a sort of tin coffee-pot, with two strainers. You remove the first strainer, and pour some boiling water into the coffee-pot through the second strainer. Empty out the water, and put in a sufficient quantity of coffee for the family over the under strainer and press it flat with a little tin machine (which comes with the apparatus). Put in the other strainer, and pour in the hot water. The coffee will drain through in a few moments.

Another Mode Of Making Coffee

Take fresh roasted coffee, allow two table-spoonfuls for each person, grind it just before making, put it in a basin and break into it an egg, yolk, white, shell, and all. Mix it up with the spoon to the consistence of mortar, put warm, not boiling water, in the coffee pot; let it boil up and break three times; then stand a few minutes and it will be as clear as amber, and the egg will give it a rich taste.

Codfish skin, scraped, washed, and dried, and cut in pieces, an inch square, may be used to settle off, or isinglass. You may add to a pint of coffee a pint of boiling milk, and heat both together before serving.
