1 Measure the water. To do this, use a cup or mug with which you want to drink.

2 Pour water into a saucepan. Bring to a boil.

3 Add one cup of coffee to hot water.

4 Stir with a fork. Remove from the stove and wait a few minutes for the coffee to infuse and settle to the bottom.

5 Serve coffee. Be careful not to touch the sediment.

Method 2 of 2: Using a Campfire

1. 1 Prepare a coffee can. Use an empty coffee can and attach the handle using the following method.
   • Drill or punch holes across the sides of the can, opposite each other.
   • Thread the wire through the holes to make a handle.
   • Using pliers, bend the sides of the wire to secure the handle.
2. 2 Place the ground coffee in the prepared jar (1 full spoon per cup / mug). Fill the jar with approximately 7.5 cm of water.
3. 3 Light the fire.
   • Make sure you have a convenient place to hang the can of coffee: on a stand over the fire or in the coals on one side of the fire.
4. 4 Place the can of coffee on the fire using the handle. Let the water boil.
5. 5 Stir the coffee grounds. When the water boils, you need to stir the coffee grounds that accumulate near the edge of the can as the coffee boils. This can be done with a small, clean stick, a pinch of salt, or an eggshell. Use what you have.
6. 6 Let the coffee simmer for a few minutes. Set aside and let it cool.
7. 7 Using the handle on the coffee can, shake the coffee a little, let the coffee grounds settle to the bottom of the can.
8. 8 Serve coffee. Pour coffee into a mug.

Interesting fact

• According to some diaries written on the way from Texas to Wichita, cowboys often heated water, and to throw coffee into it, they measured it in handfuls when it was dark. The cowboys also strained the coffee through their socks to keep the coffee out of the mug. Sugar was in short supply, so it was measured in the same way, in handfuls.

Tips

• If you don't have the time (or desire) to wait for the sediment to collect, you can strain the coffee. Place a paper towel in a sieve to keep the coffee grounds out of the coffee.

Warnings

• Always be careful near fires, and even more careful when making coffee over a fire!
