I think that's Swedish coffee. You can add broken up eggshells to help settle the grounds. Or did I dream that? http://www.thekitchn.com/have-you-tr...-coffee-194230

Don't know. Never heard it called that. We always called it "campfire coffee" and pictured ourselves out on the trail with a bunch of cows.

OK... I read your link...definitely not the same.

I actually went on a real cattle drive once. We drove a herd of cows from Lucin Utah all the way to Burly Idaho to market. It was quite an experience and the coffee was...... I can't describe it.

Have driven a herd of cattle about twice a year some years ago. Usually it's not to difficult except for those few that decide to strike it off on their own!

Also been part of a cattle roundup in northwestern South Dakota.
