I think he went to Camp Coffee, where the grounds are notoriously raised and unkempt. Without the eggshells, he wouldn't be here today. The eggshells are the only thing to settle the grounds at Camp Coffee.

Hmm. I read that as they didn't want to hire an excavator so they used eggshells as fill.

I think if you are camping and make coffee that is just grounds and water in a pot ("camp coffee") and throw in some eggshell, the coffee grounds will sink to the bottom of the pot.

That's the boring answer

Camp Coffee (or Cowboy Coffee) is made over the campfire or a gas camp stove with a pitcher. You put the water and the coffee grounds in together and bring it to a boil for about 4-5 minutes or a rolling boil. You then add either cold water or eggshells to collect the grounds and have them settle to the bottom before pouring.
