This is called BOILED COFFEE from a cookbook 1951 vintage. 1/2 cup coffee (regular grind). 1 egg OR 3 egg shells, 1 cup cold water, 6 cups freshly boiling water, a few grains of salt. – Heat coffeepot by rinsing with boiling water. Wash the egg, break and beat slightly. Dilute with half the cold water, add CRUSHED shell, and mix with coffee. Add salt. Turn into coffeepot, pour on freshly boiling water, and stir throughly. Stuff spout of pot with soft paper to prevent escape of fragrant aroma. Set over direct heat, bring slowly to a boiling point and simmer for 3 minutes. Add remaining COLD water, which aids in clearing. Set coffeepot in pan of hot water and place over a very low heat to steep and keep hot without boiling. You will NOT need a stainer to pour crystal clear coffee, since the egg and the coffee grounds combine and stay in the bottom of the pot.

You are not supposed to put the egg in your cup. It goes in with the grinds and shell. =)

Yes, this is very much an American problem due to factory farms and extremely poor choices in livestock management. American eggs are also a VERY odd color of yolk compared to what most of Europe has. Too pale and yellow instead of a rich golden/orange color. I think perhaps beta-carotene from good and natural feed and seeds for the chickens. Anyway, if you are concerned about salmonella (with good reason perhaps!), you can wash the egg THOROUGHLY in quite hot water and SOAP. It will kill off any bacteria and not begin to cook the egg. When I make bread and have not set eggs out to reach room temperature, I soak my cold eggs for 10 minutes or so in VERY hot tap water and they never precook in the least.
