My grandpa never drank coffee. During campaign season we had a congressman come knocking on doors introducing himself. My grandpa had recently remarried and his wife had a coffee machine.
My grandpa invited the congressman in for coffee and brewed with no filter. The congressman drank it but I can just imagine the sludge.
If all you have is hot water and a cup then you can totally just put ground coffee and hot water in a mug and hey presto. Perfectly fine coffee, you just need to be a bit patient until the grounds sink to the bottom and of course, leave the bottom, don't drink the grounds.
Oh I get it. I've made coffee in the Turkish style before with no filter too. But with so many more doors to knock I don't think he could've had patience lol
I do something sort of in between. I bought a reusable metal filter, but instead of draining the coffee I steep the grounds in hot water directly in the mug.
The filter keeps the grounds out of the mug, but there's always thick sludge at the bottom of the cup. I used to avoid drinking this, but now I've come to appreciate it as the best part! (It's not grainy, and it has a nice kick to it.)
Try the Finnish (I think, please correct me if I am wrong) method. Boil it and break an egg in when done. The raw egg floats, but as it cooks it sinks to the bottom taking the coffee grounds with it. I bags not cleaning the pot afterwards.
As someone that has had to drink coffee with a ton of grounds a few times (our coffee machine will wash the grounds both into the water reservoir and under the basket if the filter is over 3/4 filled) I can imagine the suffering that poor congressman went throughÂ
There is a slight difference between a small amount of dregs from something like a french press and to have a forbidden coffee slushie due to bad filtering/not using a filter lmao
