While I was hanging around outside today doing various tasks, I decided to make some coffee on the camp fire in the yard. Here is my steadfast time honored formula.....
1 - Well seasoned enamal ware coffee pot (being well seasoned is very important)
12 - Cups cold water
1/3 - Cup course ground coffee - I use Maxwell House Columbian
1 hardboiled egg OR the empty shell from an egg (do not use raw egg)
1/3 cup of cold water
Place the 12 cups cold water in pot
Place pot on active fire on a grill allowing the flames to lick the bottom and sides of the pot.
Pour 1/3 cup of coffee directly into water in the pot
Allow to actual fast rolling boil - 18 minutes or so to get it there, depends on your fire... allow to boil for 5 minutes
Take coffee pot off the direct flame and allow to simmer over light coals
Place hard boiled egg or egg shells directly into the coffee water, you will see the coffee grounds start to settle.
Now pour the 1/3 cup of cold water into the pot....the grounds will now fully settle.
Pour your coffee and enjoy........ keep the pot simmering on the fire, add a cup of cold water for each cup of coffee you remove.

The Coffee pot is always on here at our place... come on by and say hello and chit chat for a bit........there is a hand made rocker by the fire for you...... if you look by the fire, there are cinnamon twists on a stick baking... warm and very cinnomony.....
