Anyone Here still Make boiled coffee?

[DEACONLLB]

I used to make it sometimes when I was camping but have not made it in years. I thought about it last night and made some and it was very good. 1 Cup cold water 1 Table spoon of coffee bring to a boil let it settle and pore into a cup through a very fine strainer very good. May also be referred to as cowboy coffee or campfire coffee

We've got a drip maker with the cone shaped basket. Uses less coffee, but it makes great coffee.

Up here people do not boil ,  but the old percolator type, blue-granite finish camping size was common.
Pouring water through a basket of grounds after heating coffee water  was done by some older gents when I was young but until the Mr. Coffee type coffee makers came out percolators were the norm, though up here egg coffee was standard at Church meals. (And family celebrations at our house.)

INGREDIENTS
 Ground coffee (medium grind works best) --  adjust to taste
 1 egg -- adjust to volume
INSTRUCTIONS
Beat egg in a small bowl with a fork. Add coffee grounds and mix until you have a sludge.
Bring  water to a boil in a large coffee pot.  Add coffee/egg mixture.
 Simmer, not boil,  until the foam disappears, remove from heat.
Add , adjusting to volume,  cold water to the coffee pot. This will help settle the grounds.
Pour coffee through a strainer to catch any loose grounds.

Haven't boiled coffee in a long time but I have a stove top percolator that's used every day.

Everyone has their favorite way to make coffee but I think for me having glowed up in the late forties and fifties all your restaurants or at least most used the old Bunn drip orator the ones that had the glass bottom and glass top with the valve and seal and the long glass stem man they made the best coffee. Good friend still uses one every day every time I am at a  estate or yard sale and find some parts of one I get them for him. I have a 40 cup percolator that we use at church once in a while but it is electric.

I've made regular cowboy coffee
a bunch.  You can dribble a little
cold water in to settle things, or
just leave it be for a bit and it'll
settle.  Not jostling the pot around
is the biggest thing. If I'm to where
I can't brew some regular ground
coffee, I've got to where I use
instant as much as anything.
I have some regular metal campfire
coffee pots, but I'm usually at a
place where potable water is at
a premium, so I just use instant and
save from having to use water to
wash a pot out. Depends on the
situation too. If there's time and
water I really do like to have a pot
of coffee on the fire.  Better than
an alarm clock for some of the
group

Before I quite coffee due to acid reflux & Barrett's esophagus I used to make cowboy coffee when I went camping. I was one of the biggest coffee junkies around and didn't discriminate. I would drink cowboy coffee, instant, drip, percolator, french press and any other way you can think of. I quit caffeine as well so I only drink herbal tea now. Once in a blue moon I'll have a decaf coffee.

It's been a long time since I had cowboy coffee. We learned a long time ago to put your coffee in a women's footlet (like panty hose except just a foot), tie the open end shut, and drop it in the pot. No need for cold water as no grounds in the coffee. Now we use a Ninja coffee maker, the abosolute best in a long line of coffee makers we have gone through.

Never could stand the taste of coffee but my dad loved it.  He took a new 2 pound can of Folgers fox hunting one night.  The next morning mom asked where the coffee can was.  He had tossed it after putting the full 2 pounds in a lard bucket (no more than a gallon, maybe less) of water on the fire he had built.

Good stuff, cowboy coffee.

When at camp I always opt for the percolator but I've really come to enjoy watching Cowboy Kent's cooking and he swears by boiled coffee.
