A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE [To the Editor of the

SPECTATOR.]

Sin,— The way coffee is brewed matters ; but what matters more is the origin of the coffee used. It would seem that English coffee merchants only know of, or will only blend, certain growths of coffee, and these give the acrid taste of which coffee-drinkers complain. If people wanting a good cup of coffee will take the trouble to find out where in London they can buy Brazilian coffee, of which there arc varieties, all rich, they will be satisfied. _ I am not paying more for the Brazilian coffee, ground, than I would have to pay for the other blends on sale, and as it is so rich I do not have to use as much as would be necessary

with other varieties.---I am, Sir, &c., CAFFEA.
