Making coffee while camping?

Ben, you absolutely cannot beat an old percolator on the campfire. Plus you can use it on a camp stove. Coleman makes a tiny, super powerful, single burner stove that's like a Coleman lantern base with a burner.
You can get all your coffee gear in one little tub, or stuff it all in your backpack.

Agreed. When we used to head out for opening day of fishing with the tent trailer, it was often quite cold. Most of the time we made coffee in a tin can with grounds thrown in along with egg shells. At 20* and snowing you will think it is the best coffee that you ever had. Oh the joys of being a teenager with a fish crazy dad.

If you have the room, don't forget to bring some port for the coffee.

Egg shells? A variation of egg coffee?

Helps remove bitterness and removes some of the cloudiness.

I always bring a Moka pot when camping. When I don't have it with me I just go Turkish (without sugar though).

Turkish (in this case) is just a fancy name for putting ground coffee in a pot/pan with water, boiling it, adding sugar and then pouring the coffee (grounds included) in a cup.

This is what we did, but the Moka pot sounds good and I'll take along on the next trip.
