Put the ground coffee into an urn sack. Let the boiling water from the water urn flow over the coffee. Drain the coffee from the faucet of the urn, and pour the entire amount over the ground coffee twice. This should make a coffee of good strength. The important points in making coffee are that the urn should be kept perfectly clean, using clear water and steel wool or baking soda; the water bags should be kept washed and well aired; the water used in making the coffee should always be actively boiling before the coffee is made, and the water in the jacket should be maintained at boiling temperature.
