Re: Really important question

Or really basic like we used to do it in hunting camp...boil water in the
coffee pot and toss in a couple of handfuls of ground coffee...let it boil
for awhile...take pot off the stove and toss in a pinch of smashed up eggs
shells...for some reason the shells make the grounds sink to the
bottom...its called COWBOY  COFFEE. Gets really good after about a week
using the same pot and just adding more grounds and water each day...When
there is too much grounds to add any new water...then its time to start
over! YUM!
