The egg was to accumulate the grounds. I recall the aroma being more wonderful than I experience today. You have me wanting to try it. Thanks for jogging memories of mine as well That makes sense: Coffee was made originally by just dumping loose coffee into hot water. The egg was to accumulate the grounds.

I remember going to church dinners there and those folks knew how to cook...andmake egg coffee! From what I have learned about egg coffee...the making of it is pretty much confined to the midwest..MN, the Dakotas, Iowa etc. The egg mixed with the coffee "settles" the grounds ang gives you nice clear coffee. With the advent of the coffee makers with baskets, the need to make egg coffee probably lessened. I still associate its wonderful aroma with church basements of my past (Lutheran) at weddings and funerals and any other "doing" as the Scandinavian immigrant chidren refer to it!!!! I think it makes the coffee taste better. I think the making of egg coffee came with the emigrants from Norway and Sweden. I googled it (egg coffee) and got some interesting results.

I recall them just cracking the egg and dropping it in after the brewing was fininshed. But, I've never understood, was the egg for flavor, chasing out the grounds or what?
