If you are fortunate enough to have a nice enamel coffee pot to sit on the side of the fire, making coffee is less exciting.
If you get placed into a camping situation without warning, of course, you will need to improvise. Let's say one of the many natural disasters took your home away and no one came to help. How would you make coffee, assuming you can locate some ground coffee to use.
Locate a large can, clean it however you can, find some water and coffee. Place the can of water on the campfire and toss a handful of coffee grounds into the water. Cook until you can't stand it any longer then pour a cup and enjoy. Strangely delicious.
