I guess I perked it a bit too long but it was coffee. The next day I didn't have a lot left so I made 'cowboy' coffee, tossed the remaining grounds into the boiling water, let it boil a bit then took it off the heat and added half a cup of cold water to settle the grounds. It worked! My single serving coffee bags were in the backpack I didn't bring. Over the years, from time to time having a coffee pot and a stove in the bus has been real good luck. It was one of the first things I put under the seat when I got this VW. It's the same stove I kept in my '59 back in the early 70's. Perked coffee does taste good when I'm camping!
