Being as we "Boondock" 90% of the time we boil the water and pour it thru a Melitta type filter I guess you could call it Cowboy Coffee except with a paper filter.

Very simple and produces a reliably good cup. Since I am the only one in my house that likes coffee, this is how I make my morning cup.
No matter what your method, you need good coffee freshly ground if possible, and good filtered water heated to almost but not quite boiling.
Has anyone else noticed the general decline in quality of ground coffee? Most brands are now using higher percentages of robusta beans, which are less expensive but have a bitter flavor. If your can does not say 100% arabica beans, it isn't!
