Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Mix one ounce of ground coffee in a clean pot with a pint of cold water, stir this on the fire till it boils, then throw in a very little more cold water, and after allowing the coffee to boil up twice more, set it aside to settle, and become clear and bright.
The dregs saved from twice making, added to half the quantity of fresh coffee, will do for the children.
It is best to make your coffee over-night, as it has then plenty of time to settle.
If, as I recommend, you grind your coffee at home, you will find Nye's machines very good.
