Back in the day people in Sweden used klarskinn, dried fish skin from eel and burbot, when reusing coffee grounds, to clarify the liquid and make the coffee look fresh and clear. Emphasis on "look", pretty sure it tasted like fishy weak coffee but if fermented herring is a big part of your diet the fish smell probably won't bother you. Never heard of eggs being used in this way but it makes sense, similar to how you would clarify a consommé.
