Method of Roasting Coffee

Procure a small coffee-roaster and have in readiness a pound of Java, thoroughly mixed with a pound of Mocha, put it into the roaster, remove one of the lids from the stove, and place the roaster over a moderate fire, then turn the handle constantly but slowly until the coffee acquires a good brown color, say about twenty-five minutes or so: when done transfer it to an earthenware jar, cover tightly, and it is ready for use when required.
