[at-l] Coffee.....How do YOU make it?

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

Try a sturdy French Press.  Though most you see in the store are glass, they
now make some sturdy "plastic" ones.  I've even seen them in CAMPMOR
catalogs.  The action of pressing pushes the grounds to the bottom, and the
screen filters them out.  "Cowboy", "Norweign", "Country"... style coffees
usually require a "settler" -- such as an egg or egg shell.  Also, I've done
hot drinks outside with a good, clean cloth.  Just boil and then strain
through the cloth into cup.  A "clean" bandana would do.

I'd like to hear from everyone that drinks coffee on the trail, how they
make it.  I personally like percolated, but it's heavy and contains a lot of
grounds.  I'd like to try the "cowboy coffee" method and just not drink that
last gulp.
