Ingredients

9 1/4 cups water, divided

3/4 cup freshly ground coffee (medium to coarse grind)
1 egg
1 cup cold water
Steps to Make It
Bring 9 cups of water to a rapid boil in a saucepan or enamel coffee pot.

While waiting for water to boil, you must stir together the ground coffee,
remaining 1/4 cup water, and egg in a small bowl or measuring cup.

When the water is boiling, carefully pour in the egg and coffee mixture, turning
down the heat if necessary to prevent it from boiling over. Boil for 3 minutes.
You�ll see that the coffee grounds gradually bind together into a single mass that
floats at the top of the pot.

Immediately remove the pot from heat and pour in 1 cup cold water. Let the coffee
sit for 10 minutes. The grounds will settle to the bottom of the pot.

Pour coffee through a fine-meshed sieve or strainer into cups and serve. The longer
that it simmers, the flavor grows stronger without becoming bitter.
