Coffee pots sure get a workout in this film.   Besides what has been already mentioned, Ennis bangs on the pot when Jack finishes his song.  Also, isn't it the pot that Ennis is washing out in the stream when he gazes up at Jack on the mountainside?   And isn't it a coffee pot that floats away from him after they have their river-side argument about Ennis's "miserable f***in' life?

Yes the coffeepot sure is prominent. You're right about Ennis banging on it and washing it in the stream. But after the argument about the miserable effin life at the river it's not the coffeepot, but a bigger, cooking pot that floats away.
And don't forget that all the travellin' Ennis did was around the coffeepot, looking for the handle.
