Long live the percolator!!!!!!
Fill it up with water just below the basket, add a percolator filter (buy at any supermarket), and fill up the basket with coffee.
To make less, measure out the water with the coffee mug you are using and add as many as you want to drink. Then 2 heaping teaspoons for each mug.
Start on high and turn to simmer once the perc'n starts. Perc for 10 minutes and turn off the heat.
Best tasting coffee and easy cleanup... (but not easier than a Keurig) :) :) :)
I cherish my early morning perc coffee over our 40 year old Colemen stove :) My morning routine would not be the same without it...
I let mine perc a bit longer than that but the process I use is exactly the same. I can tell you that doing it on the campfire vs the stove inside makes a world of difference. It truly does pick up a bit of that wonderful smoky flavor. It can really make you feel outdoors. Plus sitting out in the quiet cool of the morning lets everyone else sleep. I set mine up before bed so I don't have to turn on lights or fumble around.
