Unless you carry around your own beans everywhere you go\u2014and I know people that do\u2014chances are you will one day find yourself in a situation where only cheap, bitter coffee is available. Luckily, there is an easy way to turn bitter coffee into a rich, smooth brew. You just need an egg.
According to Eater, egg coffee has actually been around for a while, and it\u2019s made by mixing a beaten egg into coffee grounds, boiling the mixture, and letting it all steep for ten minutes. There\u2019s no need to strain, as the egg and grounds will congeal together on top, forming a kind of plug. When a coffee-cup\u2019s worth of cold water is added to the mix, the plug is pushed down to the bottom of the pot, taking the grounds and bitterness with it. To understand how this works, you have to understand the egg:
The result is a lush, light-colored cup of coffee with a \u201cround richness completely devoid of bitterness\u201d Bonus: you don\u2019t need any fancy equipment, which means you can have smooth, tasty coffee pretty much anywhere, even camping.<\/p>\n
