Its dead easy. Just add grounds to boing water and simmer for a while. Take off the heat and let it sit for a few minuites then pour in one motion into the cup(s) without tipping billy back to upright between cups.
If any grounds get through they will be in the bottom of the cup anyway by the time the drink is finished.

Failing that buy some coffee bags

Thanks Addo , The coffee bags dont give me a good hit man so I need to try a better method .
Some methods say grind coffee beans to get a better flavour ?

Yeah, I think some hardcore caffine heads, take all manor of tackle to the woods grinding and filtering ect. Must taste nice though.

I just make mine the cowboy way, with extra grounds added to increase the taste. Plenty of sugar for me too as I think it brings out the flavour.

One way Spam does it, is to bring a small old fashioned percolator and puts in straight on some embers or a grill/stove. Tastes lovley.

Ive got what can only be described as a silver ball that comes apart, its drilled with tiny holes, put coffee in, put 2 halves together and dunk in mug.
I think it was designed for tea because the holes are a tad to big so i get the odd few bits going into the mug but nothing i cant live with

Have you tried a macchinetta? They are very cheap and make a good espresso. You need to put a metal plate under it to stop the flames burning the handle off (or replace the handle) but otherwise ok on a fire.

Wikipedia call it a Moka pot here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_pot

I can bring one up for you to try at the next meet if you like Cliff?
