    i like to keep the water below a simmer at all times, then just maintain low heat till the grounds sink. moreover, if it's fine ground, the grounds cake at the bottom the whole time since they're not being stirred by water currents and i get less mud in my cup, and thus urge to use the stool afterward.

    I have a friend who said back in Viet Nam, they made their coffee without filters. But when the coffee was ready, they would stir it with a small branch from a live tree (green wood). He said it caused the grounds to sink. Don't know if he was having fun with me or not, but I've never had to try it.

    Probably not, Aurelius. The cooler branch would lower the temperature so the grounds would drop out. That's my guess anyway. Any time the grounds cool, they will fall out of suspension.

    A couple of my buddies were out fishing one night and scooped up a coffee pot of water from the lake and made up some coffee. They talked about the unique flavor it had. When they went to clean the coffee pot out they found a dead frog in it.

    I'll bet that was unique indeed. Oh man... I read this just as I was sipping on my coffee and it just sort of stayed in my throat for a few seconds longer.

    I guess it would have had a very unique flavor to it. Did they eat the frog's legs? I hear they taste just like chicken.

    I would eat them fried but not after boiling in coffee. I've had plenty of frog legs and I don't think they taste anything like chicken.

    That's hilarious Bragg, years ago a doctor told me at the end of a physical (staring very somberly at me) "If you don't quit smoking and drinking that much coffee...you're going to die."

    I was buttoning up my shirt and looked straight at him and asked, "so are you saying if I quit those things...I won't die?" He just continued staring for a couple of seconds then turned around and walked out of the examination room. Well, I was about 32 or 33 at the time, I'm 50 now.....

    And the best way to make cowboy coffee is to give it four quick re-boils and pull it off the fire just before it boils over. If it boils over you're screwed, it takes an expert to fix that and I might not be available LOL. Trax takes his coffee very seriously, folks.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    he probably meant that the grounds where just dumped in. they have to both absorb some water and be stirred a little or steeped a while before they will sink, otherwise they just float there.

    I read that you can use a clean pair of nylon stockings, just tie off one end, put your coffee grounds in and tie off other end

    Well, I hate to ruin my nylons like that but it is coffee after all.
