Camping and Coffee ....I have an old fashioned percolator type coffee pot that is used for camping out ?
I am used to the new drip type coffeemakers ....so how long do I leave the coffee...percolate over the fire ??? I want to make a GOOD cup of coffee.
Put enough water in the pot to fill it to just below the basket. There is usually a mark on the outside (and inside) of the pot marking this level and indicating how many cups it will make.. Put the basket and stem into the pot and add one medium teaspoon of coffee per cup of water. I usually add just one additional spoonful "for the pot." (There are some people who add a pinch of salt or an egg shell to take some of the acidic flavor away. You might want to wait on this until you learn how to use the pot.) There should be a top to place on the basket to distribute the water as it percolates.
Place the pot on a hot fire and keep an eye on it as it heats. When the water is hot enough that it begins to boil inside the pot, as evidenced by the water bubbling up into the glass top on the lid. At this point, move the pot to the outside edge of the fire to allow the water to simmer and keep bubbling up into the glass. This slowly boiling water will pass up through the stem and out onto the basket lid. If you leave the pot on the hot fire, it will boil the water at a too rapid rate and it will cause the water (and coffee) to overflow through the pot's spout. Once you move the pot, Let it brew like this for just about seven minutes. That's the time I use. Take the pot off the fire and let the grounds settle a couple of minutes, then remove the basket (carefully, as it might be hot) and discard the grounds. Don't try to reuse them a second time! If you like your coffee stronger or weaker, adjust the time up or down accordingly a little at a time until it's just right.
Suggest you try a few pots at home first to try it and learn.
Other campers will be jealous when the aroma of freshly brewing coffee wafts through the area!
