Cowboy Coffee

When we first got here, we bought what we hoped to be some good ground coffee at the grocery store. The coffee turned out to be pretty good. Everyone here uses a french press. At our second couchsurfing stay the host had no coffee maker. He drank instant coffee, and we’re from Portland, so we wouldn’t dare drink instant coffee! I had to improvise. I put some grinds in the bottom of the cup, poured water over it, let it sit a few minutes, stirred, and waited for the grinds to settle. It was actually a good cup of coffee. But because the grinds were at the bottom, it was not good to the last drop.
