In sum, you have no clue what you're talking about. It was illustrated with many monochrome and colour plates. There's no way to interpret those cups as being 6 ounces, since 4 of them make a quart. The recipes were highly structured, in contrast to those in earlier cookbooks. It's multiple-serving, which is the ideal case for an instruction of the form "Mix X T of coffee with Y cups of hot water". However, it is immediately apparent that "cup" is not a measurement, because step 2 is "Pour 6 oz hot water over coffee".īut wait! I did find a coffee recipe ("Pumpkin spice latte") on Kraft. Nescafe says "Use 1 heaping teaspoon of coffee per cup". They also note, "1 serving of water is 6 fl oz (3/4 cup)". It’s a subscription-based service that allows users to save recipes from the New York Times website and other sites, as well as create their own recipes. Maxwell House helpfully informs us that coffee should be mixed one tablespoon of coffee to one "serving" of water, or 8 tablespoons of coffee to ten "servings" of water. The New York Times Recipe Box is a great way to store, organize and access all your favorite recipes. I didn't find any single-serving recipes for Nescafe or Maxwell House (or Kraft, which owns Maxwell House), so I looked at the packaging: In fact, they have several different recipes under different categories ("latte", "mocha", "cappuccino".) all of which call for (1) 1/2 cup milk (2) 1/4 cup either water or brewed coffee and (3) a generous dollop of flavoring, usually syrup. If we assume they're still thinking that 6 oz is a natural serving size, then 1/4 cup of brewed coffee is, according to the folgers people, 2 fluid ounces. "Vanilla Latte", a recipe which includes brewed coffee as an ingredient, calls for "1/2 cup milk" and "1/4 cup" brewed coffee. "How to measure coffee" makes no particular recommendation on serving sizes, but implies that natural measurement amounts are "6 fluid ounces", "30 fluid ounces", and "60 fluid ounces" of water. "How to make coffee (in a coffee maker)" tells us that a "serving size" is "6 fluid ounces", and that however much water you put in to the coffee maker, you should add about 1 tablespoon of coffee per 6 oz water for mild coffee and double that for strong coffee. "How to make coffee" tells us that a single-serve coffee packet should be added to "6 fluid ounces" of water (or optionally, milk). Folgers provides a website full of coffee-related recipes. In trying to back up your claim for you, I checked three brands of instant coffee: Folgers, Nescafe, and Maxwell House (chosen because they were the brands I saw when searching Amazon for "instant coffee").
