Sounds like my dad's "camping coffee". He'd get a dark-roast coffee at the A&P, and run it through the store's grinder for a really fine grind. In the morning, before heading out to fish, we'd throw a good-sized handful of that grind into a pot of water and set it on the campfire until it got to a real frothy boil, then set the pot on a rock at the edge of the campfire to steep while fixing eggs, bacon etc. Instead of simply decanting the coffee to avoid grounds, we would strain it through a bandanna suspended over a cup.Ivan Seeking said:
