Cowboy Coffee is coffee brewed in a standard cooking pot without special devices, filters, or tools. Because no special equipment is needed to brew this type of coffee, it is often made by campers. It is also the most traditional method of coffee preparation in Finland and Norway.

Water is heated to near-boiling temperature, ground coffee is added, and the mixture is stirred. When the grounds sink, the unfiltered product is consumed. The amount of coffee added largely depends upon the strength desired, the amount of water added to it, and the size of the vessel used. Additionally, the coffee grounds tend to absorb a small amount of water while settling. Some recipes add crushed eggshells or a raw egg (which is not consumed). These are thought to help separate the grounds from the coffee.
