Authentic cowboy coffee. Put a couple quarts of water in a pot. Add coffee, about 1.5x as much as you'd use for the same amount of water in a coffeemaker. Bring to a rolling boil and let boil for 15 minutes and remove from fire. You can add a dash of cold water to supposedly make the grounds go to the bottom, but they go there quickly anyway. It tastes the same as perked coffee; the boiling gives it a caramelly taste. Much better than any latte.
Same goes for WW2, my father fought in the Philippines, I still remember him talking about how they made coffee for the troops in the field. He said they has these gasoline powered burners that were insanely hot and they would put this great big pot of water over it and then make the coffee just as you described. He said they would turn off the burner and immediately pour cold water in on top and the grounds went straight to the bottom.
I live in Florida. We eat what we want, go where we want and don't wear masks unless we want.Seems natural that during this time of social distancing and stay-at-home pressures
that we focus more on our food.
I've gained a few pounds...
Took a break from bike work just now for a lunch snack.
Kale and chick pea soup with Indian spices,
and brazed salmon on a toasted ciabatta roll.

I would really enjoy asking my dad about his coffee making in World War II: Luxembourg, France, Germany. He passed away in '85.
All I remember is him saying is that they used cooking pots that served other purposes ( ! ), and that they sometimes re-used the coffee grounds more than once. or twice......Yuk.

BTW, I have changed the title of this thread to reflect current realities.
However, I don't know if this will result in it no longer appearing in your inbox when someone posts. I guess we'll see.....

No, 'Dude, it still holds its appeal. I camp with a large travel trailer, with all the luxuries, but still have a percolator coffee pot for the "cowboy coffee" (in which I add Irish cream, coffee liqueur, and Irish whiskey!). The coffee needs to be especially strong and hot for that recipe...
Today at the local roadhouse…
