Instructions

Add water to your pot and bring it to a boil.
Once the water’s boiling, remove the pot from your fire and let it sit for 30 seconds. This will lower the water temperature to 200°F — the perfect temperature for brewing coffee.
Add 2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee for every 8 ounces of water. (You may want to measure how much water your pot holds and how much coffee a spoon you bring holds before going camping so you can measure accurately.)
So per 1 gallons water = 16 8 oz cups, would need 32 Tbsp coffee or 2 cups of coffee
Stir the grounds into the water.
Let the brew sit for 2 minutes and stir again.
Let the coffee sit for 2 more minutes.
After a total of 4 minutes of brewing, sprinkle a little cold water on the grounds. Yes, this actually does help them settle to the bottom.
Slowly pour the coffee, so the grounds remain on the bottom of the pot.

Notes

Your coffee will taste best if it’s poured immediately after brewing. Coffee that sits in a pot with grounds will quickly become over-extracted and bitter. If you’d like a second cup, either brew another pot or pack a thermal carafe to keep your coffee hot in.
