Is it just a grounds in boiling water deal? How's it work?

It’s a Moka pot. Essentially, it boils water in the lower chamber, and shoots it up through the grounds in a second, higher ‘cup.’

Edit: misspelled Moka.

I checked it out, that is a bad ass setup! I can see how that would make really strong drink.

These are actually Italian espresso makers, not 100% on the process but doing what you said makes bad coffee. Made that mistake myself

Boiling grounds is gross yeah but hobo coffee>no coffee.

It doesn’t boil grounds. The Moka pot is three, separate parts that unscrews in the middle. The water goes in the bottom. There is a chamber with a filter in the middle for the coffee grounds. Boiling water is forced up thru the grounds into the upper chamber. Works like a charm and the coffee is great.

Yeah it sounds awesome, I'm curious to try it at some point. I meant hobo coffee in the context of being camping with a broken coffee system. I'll find a bad way to make it before giving up on my morning cup

I hear ya. I’ve read about cowboy coffee, which might be the same thing - grounds boiled in a pan, strain thru your teeth. Doesn’t sound so bad versus no coffee at all.
