- I just adore giving dinner parties. I'm afraid I'm terribly fussy about everything I serve, and particularly, the coffee. I found a new way to make marvelous coffee by the pot, but using instant coffee. Not any instant. This one, Instant Maxwell House. It's now so much richer. It makes a really good pot of coffee. It's the only one that has this recipe. A heaping teaspoon for each cup, cold water to the proper level, then heat it almost to the boiling point and let it steep a few moments to bring out all its flavor. Try it. I promise you, you'll get compliments on your coffee. Announcer: Instant Maxwell House. Now so much richer in flavor. You can make it by the pot. Naturally, coffee this rich tastes better made by the cup too. Instant Maxwell House, another fine product of General Foods.
