To Make Drip Coffee, page 241

Take any brand of good coffee. Use the new double coffee boiler, place the coffee in the upper part, pour boiling water over the coffee and cover, let stand 1 minute, and pour the coffee off; again pour over the coffee, cover, let stand 3 minutes and it is ready for use. It takes all strength from the coffee grounds and is fine. Rich cream adds much to flavor of coffee.
