Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Coffee percolator
• Coarsely ground coffee
• Stove top or camp fire

1. Determine how many cups of coffee you would like to make.

2. Pour this amount into the urn of the percolator.

3. Place 1 tbsp. of coarsely ground coffee grounds per 1 cup of water in the basket of the percolator.

4. Place this basket into the urn and heat on the stove top. Percolating coffee is also a great choice for suspending over a campfire and heating to a boil.

5. Heat the water until it boils. When the water boils, it will push through the coffee grounds and the water will begin to brew. This brewing process takes about 5 to 7 minutes.

6. You can gauge how strong the coffee is by viewing the brewing of your coffee through the glass dome of your percolator. The darker it gets, the stronger it gets.

7. Remove the basket full of coffee grounds from the urn and pour to enjoy.
