12 cups filtered water
clean cotton cloth or coffee bag

Directions

1
Boil the filtered water in a large kettle or pot.

Place the ground coffee into the clean cotton cloth or coffee bag.
3
Tie the cloth tightly to create a secure sack that will not tear.
4
Suspend the coffee sack in the boiling water using a hook or tie it to the kettle handle so it hangs just above the bottom.
5
Let the coffee steep for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on desired strength.
6
Remove the sack from the water and allow it to drip dry into the kettle.
7
Discard the grounds and serve the coffee immediately.

Note

For larger quantities, scale the ratio: use 2/3 cup of ground coffee per quart of water.

Ensure the cloth sack is thoroughly rinsed before use to remove any lint or detergent residue.

This method produces a cleaner cup than French press, as the cloth filters out fine oils and sediment.

Keep the brewed coffee warm in a thermal carafe; do not keep it on a hot plate as this can scorch the flavor.
