there was always fresh coffee, made by breaking an entire egg, shells and all, in with the grounds in the urn.

The above is a sentence describing a cafe. Does the author mean break an entire egg with the bottom of an urn?

The coffee grounds are in a basket at the top where hot water can pour over them to make the brew.
The egg is broken over the dry ground coffee.
It's called Cowboy Coffee in Texas.

He's describing the way they make coffee. They take an egg, break it and throw the shell and all unto the fresh coffee grounds, then brew their coffee. Personally, I don't drink coffee, but this sounds like a really odd way to make coffee. I've heard of using egg shells, but the whole egg?? Weird.

I've never had that Joe, although I've heard of it. Can you describe how it tastes?
