Cowboy coffee
Also known as cowboy coffee · café de campamento · camp coffee · open pot coffee
Coffee steeps or boils in a pot. No paper: solids settle by resting, chilling or a splash of cold water.
High body and rustic cup; more sediment than press or filter. Handy outdoors or as a historical reference.
Use coarse grind and watch time. In Cafesito log it as Manual/other and compare with a press.
Overboiling turns bitter; pouring too soon fills the cup with grounds.
