πŸ“š I don’t understand. There are recipies and techniques online for adding egg to coffee granules before brewing, but the point here seems to be the eggshell. What am I missing?

@adoran2 A friend of mine used to do this on horsepacking trips: I think the idea with "cowboy coffee" is that grounds adhere to the egg shell so that you can pour it without a filter. Does it work? I don't know; but that guy could really flyfish.

@alans Interesting! Still puzzling though β€” no room for carrying filters but you do have some eggs with you. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@adoran2 No coffee filters back in the day. You boiled the grounds in the water. I'm guessing that the egg was to capture the grounds. The shells? No theory.
