Subject: RE: BS: Please help me make decent coffee!
We're talking connoisseur not addict Little Hawk. An addict would drink shit if you told him it was coffee, just as some alcoholics can not differentiate between sterno and a 15 year old Glendronach.

I may be a coffee nazi, but I am not a total snob. I also have a deep appreciation of Bush Coffee even with a soupçon of horseshit, its just the amount that is the determining factor.

Fill pot or saucepan with icy water, preferably glacial, add equivalent of half a cup of any ground coffee, bring to a boil over an open fire or flame for about 3 minutes.

Retrieve pot from flames with large stick, remove hot lid carefully (fly ash, various insects and trail dust, inclusive of horseshit, can add to flavour infusion at this point or may be infused in individual cups later), add dollop of cold water to settle grounds and pour into cup, preferably tin (you will appreciate the warmth imparted to hands when it is cool enough to drink).

Add coffee whitener, sugar or alcohol of your choice, if deemed necessary. Stir with small stick, preferably not from ground, unless you wish a greater infusion of horseshit and trail dust. Ambrosia!!
