Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Ground coffee (medium-coarse grind)
- 4 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Fill the base of the percolator with 4 cups of water, ensuring it does not exceed the marked fill line.
Step 2
Place the coffee basket into the percolator and add 4 tablespoons of medium-coarse ground coffee. Spread the coffee evenly for consistent brewing.
Step 3
Assemble the percolator by attaching both the basket lid and the percolator lid securely.
Step 4
Place the percolator over your heat source, whether it’s a campfire, stove, or portable burner. Use medium heat to avoid scorching the coffee.
Step 5
As the water heats, it will begin to percolate up through the tube and pass over the coffee grounds. Watch for the characteristic bubbling in the percolator’s glass knob, indicating brewing has started.
Step 6
Let the coffee percolate gently for 7-10 minutes. The longer it percolates, the stronger the flavor will be. Avoid over-brewing to prevent bitterness.
Step 7
Remove the percolator from the heat carefully, using a heat-resistant glove or towel.
Step 8
Allow the coffee to settle for a minute to ensure no grounds are in the liquid.
Step 9
Pour and enjoy your hot, freshly brewed camping coffee!
