Heh, that's the traditional way of making coffee. Eg Turkish, or how it's used to be made here in Norway:

* Put kettle on, bring water to boil (now, the rough frontiers-type pours in coffee right away, enjoying the bitter, ruined taste that comes from too high temperature)

* take off heat (the hipster adds a thermometer, the scientist adds a thermometer, and takes the time, notes down the time, and uses a stop watch for next brew session)

* add coffee (if not already added), let the mix sit for an appropriate amount of time

* Either a) pour coffee into a cup, pour back in kettle - let settle -- pour into cup (traditional bonefire way[1]) or b) pour over a strain (hipster way)

That's so gloriously obvious I'm amazed I'd never come across the suggestion.
