Caffeine Withdrawal

I forgot AGCs favorite method for making coffee: the coffee sock. We learned about this on our Baja kayaking trips and now use it on most trips. It is a long cone of soft material (usually cotton) on a wire ring with a handle. You put the grounds into the sock cone and then pour boiling water over it, and the coffee liquid drains out the porous sock. We often make this into a pot and then pour it into thermoses to keep it hot. You can also do individual cups. It is easy to use, easy to clean, small and lightweight to carry. It is also reusable, though it does take on a grayish color after a few uses, even with a bleach solution. You can buy one for about $5 at many kitchen stores as well. Enjoy! --Deb
