An elderly friend of mine wanted coffee jello, naturally you can not find it in the store these days. I was delighted to see your recipe, but you say to put it in a quart sized bowl. the liguids hardly level off to 2 cups. 1/4 cold water, and 1 3/4 hot coffee,are the measurement right. Usually when you make commercial jello it calls for 3 cups of water. I don't want to overpower my 90 yr old friend. Thanks
