Something I remembered about boiling a garbage can full of water and coffee ("camp coffee") from back in the WWI and WWII days, they would boil the snot out of the can for something 15-20 minutes
then throw a couple of gallons of cold water in to get the grounds to settle on the bottom.
I've never had the chance to try authentic hardtack, so I'll take your word for it.
