I drank a good bit of Iranian coffee while in college, but my buddy from Iran kept me supplied so I don't know what name it might have in the stores. Sold as a fine powder, it was made the old fashioned way - mix the coffee with the water, bring to a boil, and carefully pour the coffee out while avoiding the grounds. That stuff was great for all-nighters.
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.
