You will all think I am weird, but this is how I make coffee for me (decaf) and DH (reg.) I should say we cook on a woodstove so instant heat is not always available.

Boil water in pot. In 2nd pot, add 4 scoops decaf. Pour boiling water over, let stand 5 minutes. Boil more water. Strain coffee into 3rd pot, put grounds back in 2nd pot, add 8 scoops regular coffee. Pour boiling water over, let stand 5 minutes. Boil more water. Strain coffee into 4th pot. Grounds back in 2nd pot. Pour more boiling water over, let stand, strain, mix with coffee in 4th pot.

Makes enough for 3 days, we keep in the fridge and nuke a cup as needed. Also good for iced coffee in this weather (yum!) Because the coffee is not subjected to heat from below, it is not bitter.
I find myself not liking coffee I have at other places since I like my kind so well.
