Coffee for Crowds
To make coffee for a large number of servings, use
 1 pound of coffee and
 2 gallons of water
for every 40 cups of coffee.

THE OLD-FASHIONED COOKING POT METHOD calls for a clean cloth bag, large enough so that coffee grounds fill it no more than hand-full. Wet sack, add coffee, tie sack tightly at top and leave cord long enough to tie on handle. Measure water into pot; bring to rolling boil; reduce heat to hold water just under boil. Fasten sack of coffee to handle and submerge sack in water. Brew coffee 8 to 10 minutes, pushing sack gently up and down frequently to obtain good extraction. When brew is ready, remove sack, allowing all liquid to drain into brew.
