This is the old traditional way to make coffee, before the coffee
makers existed. This is the simplest and oldest method of brewing
coffee, similar to cowboy coffee described earlier, but with use of
strainer to remove coffee sludge. The jug can be metallic, china or
earthenware.

Let say a
word about strainer. It can be a simple peace of cloth, little metal
net basket, basket from natural materials like bamboo, even paper
filter. I suggest you rather use a permanent filters which are a great
alternative to paper filters.
And
you protect our envirnment with no paper filters to throw away!

Tip:
Paper filters can add some "paper taste" to your coffee, and
remove some original coffee aroma from the coffee.
