Hi, like you, I learned to make coffee using a cloth strainer.
But the most important thing was that I had to have a pot, especially for heating the coffee water. That pot is not used for anything else.
At first, I heated the water to boiling point and added the amount of coffee powder to the water. The water would then drop in intensity, but would immediately boil again along with the coffee and rise to the edge of the pot. Just at that moment, the fire was turned off and then the coffee was strained.
The taste of this coffee is delicious, nothing compares to it and the ritual is magical.
But you don't always have the patience to wait for the coffee to rise in the pot without it overflowing. That's why I prepare it the way you do, I put the coffee in a cloth strainer and then pour the boiled water over it.
It's a real beauty.
