Camping coffee for 17 guys
Egg whites and coarse ground cowboy coffee strained through a funky, wrung-out microfibre cloth.


I wanted to simulate the sock straining technique so I used a cloth I used to wipe sweat, then rinsed it really well, wrung it out and poured the not quiet simmering coffee through it. There are no fines in the cup - the egg whites bonded with those. It's ok. A clean paper filter would make this quite drinkable in the woods. No egg taste at all.

Don't tell Andy: I used some of his superb Chimanimani for this experiment. I drank it all but don't recommend the wet cloth.

How about a simple paper filter?
Brew the billy, let the water cool a minute or two, drop in the coffee. Steep like a plunger. Most of the dregs will settle when you give it a 'plunger wiggle.'
Then pour into the cups through a basic paper filter cone to get rid of the last few fines?
It'll just be grinding for 17 with the Porlex that'll take most of the weekend

I'd be going full immersion method with a few big plungers. Hit up the local op shops and see if you can get some big plungers. If that fails, full immersion in a billy followed by decanting through a paper filter into another big vessel/pot.
You could also ask your friends to bring any medium/large plungers they might have, most people have them lurking in the kitchen cupboards somewhere.
I believe there are still plunger filters available in beanbay as well so check them out.
