Know what? I've been a foodie forever- cooked professionally too- but I have never been a fan of coffee. Diet Pepsi is my morning wake-up beverage.

I couldn't resist this
Coffee
Pour a pint of boiling water on one ounce of coffee, let it boil for five or six minutes, the decant off a cupful two or three times and return it back to the pot again. Put a little isinglass intp it, and add a large spoonful of boiling water. Boil for five minutes longer, put the pot buy the fire to keep it hot for a few minutes, that the coffee may settle and become clear. Serve it with cream, pounded sugarcandy, or very fine brown sugar. Foreigners gengeally like thier coffee very strong, Therefore, in that case make only eight dishes from three ounces. If the coffee is not fresh roasted, set it before the fire to dry, or put it into a pan with a little hot butter and shake it well for sometime. Good cream, is preferable to milk in enrichig coffee. So put in also a little vanilla. Coffee milk is made buy boiling a small spoonful of ground coffee in about a pint of milk for a quarter of an hour, then adding a little isinglass, and setting it by the fire until is is perfectly clear. Sweeten with with a good brown sugar. If it took this much potch to make a pot of coffee, I'd never make it.

what is a potch!! what is isinglass?
when you say an ounce of coffee, beans or gound or reduction ?????? what is a foreigner? right now my favorite are several from our incrediable local roaster--an Ethiopian blend and an aged Mandheling from Sumatra which is aged 4-5 years to increase the heaviness and give it a syrupy coffee. I love it as is, some blend it with a Central American blend. going to this coffee shop (owned by a dear friend) is like going to a wine shop--my other vise. Enjoy, Nan

y'know what, janie? I hear MANY folks talk about Dunkin' Donuts Coffee!
At the oil camps up north we had a lot of folks from Oklahoma and Texas- and all over the south. "Neighbors" brand coffee was extremely popular w/ them- in fact, there was a revolt when it looked like we might stop special-ordering it in!

Hey Nan, I am totally Wowed by the choices of coffee available to you! I wonder if the coffee from Sumatra can be ordered on-line? Or does your friends coffee-shop offer on-line purchases? Please let me know! This weekend we went camping near the Winery (my favorite campground as it is walking distance to the winery ) The grapes are heavy on the vines right now, such a splendid sight!Cheers, Cathy
