Back to the subject:
My grandmother, made great coffee in a milk saucepan on the stove, by simmering Lyons ground coffee, I'm not sure for how long, she then tranferred it to the coffee jug, which she never washed, as previously mentioned, but added a substantial pinch of Colemans powdered mustard - which she regarded as her secret ingredient.

N.B. We didn't have Italian, they had a deal on South African which filled the spot, more than adequately.
