Ingredients
1 each coffee
1 each water
Directions
Fill machine with cold water up to water level for desired number of
cups. Do not cover safety valve hole with water. Fill brew basket to
rim with coffee. For 9 cups, remove the reducer from the brew basket
and fill entire basket. For 3 or 6 cups, use the reducer as follows:
long stem facing down for 3 cups; short stem facing down for 6 cups.
Clean off excess grounds from brew basket rim and o-ring.
Close and tighten down knob as far as possible. Close steam valve.

and steady, and coffee will lighten. When coffee stops and becomes
noisy, close coffee valve and remove carafe.

cream or milk in cup and open steam valve to froth.

The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, there were two interesting recipe books which date from the fourteenth century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich people of those days. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books are starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
