My grandpa and great-uncle used to leave the spent grounds in and add more until the pot was too full to yield enough coffee. Only then did you dump the grounds out.

I've done that before with drip makers, but I found it really only works when you make back to back pots, otherwise the coffee just tastes old. Also I found you don't need as much grounds to "re-charge" the pot as it were. Switched to a french press ten years ago and haven't looked back.

1. Fill a coffee pot with cold water.
2. Throw your coffee grounds right into the water. Add one rounded tablespoon of ground coffee for each two cups of water.
3. Bring the water to just a rolling boil. Take off heat.
4. Remove the pot from the fire and add a couple of tablespoons of cold water. Let the coffee sit for a couple minutes to allow the grounds to settle at the bottom of the pot.
5. Carefully pour the coffee into your mug so that the grounds stay in the pot.

Arabic coffee is very similar (though usually made in an ibrik), except you add a little cardemum with the grounds.

Nothing against cowboys but I'm OK having my morning coffee brewing a bit more refined. I use a french press so it's almost the same with less grounds in the cup.
