What kind of cloth is the strainer made from? Cheesecloth?
Grandparents' river house
That sounds like an awesome place. I'd like a small house by the river with crops growing around it:)

I guess you can use the thicker cheesecloth, not a light weave fabric (like gauze). The one I had was cotton fabric (even thicker than what my yogurt bag is made of).
It's not an exact science; a cloth napkin does the job very well. The important thing is that the coffee does not run too fast or it will not infuse. If it passes too slowly, it cools down. Take the risk of trial and error, haha. At some point, someone desperate used a sock. It's not by chance that the name of the method came up 😏
Yeah, the sock method is called Cowboy Coffee.
I'm convinced that the cloth method might have been popular in Jamaica in the olden days too. I'll research it.
Cowboy coffee! I guess that includes not taking a shower in days, haha. Just kidding. I didn't know that name. Than you!
Thank* you
You hit the nail on the head there.
Lovely idea.
I have fond memories of my vacation days in the countryside. I felt so free. Now those are no longer safe dwellings; crime has reached deep into the villages in the countryside, sadly.
It's just so sad.
One of my best experiences while living in the Philippines, was that it's still safe to go into villages like those. It brought back such happy childhood memories 😍
