On my last trip to Maine, I only brought a Literbug Stove (twig stove) and my little stainless steel 3 cup pot with two aluminium bowls nested inside with a cut down fork, spoon and a pot clamp also inside.
I boiled unfiltered lake water, about 2 1/2 cups over the twig stove in the morning and at lunch and dumped in some coffee grounds, I did it by eye, no measurements. I let the water boil for a few seconds with the grounds in and then removed it from the heat, covered it to keep it hot and ate my cold cereal.
That stuff was dang good! The grounds settled to the bottom and I enjoy every last bit of coffee without any black spots between my teeth all day. I even shared a cup with some fellow trippers and they liked it....It was cold in the morning and maybe that made it taste better, but I did enjoy my "cowboy coffee" this trip and I plan on it from now on.
BTW, I tried removing the pot from the heat and dumping the coffee in, it didn't work. It has to boil for a few seconds I guess.
