Many kinds of pots for making filtered coffee are offered for sale. Some of those most simple in construction give very satisfactory results. Do not purchase one having a perforated tinned strainer, as the perforations expose the iron of which these strainers are made and in a short time the color and flavor of the coffee is very seriously injured by contact with this iron.

To Make It

Place the coffee in the lower strainer, allowing one rounding tablespoonful of very finely ground or pulverized coffee to each cup of freshly boiled water. Pour the water onto the upper strainer gradually, when full cover and let it percolate, continue until the desired amount of water is used, keeping it where it will keep hot, but do not allow the contents to boil. As soon as all the water has passed through, it is ready to use.
