Boiling the grounds just made an acidic bath for your gut. 0/10 Boil water, take it off the heat, add grounds, wait a couple minutes, then add cold water. I was taught by war veterans to never boil coffee with grounds in it. If you want to reheat coffee pour the coffee off and heat without the grounds in it. I was making five gallons at a time. Oh the taste when someone would make the mistake of trying to reheat the grounds and the stomachache🤢

[@codyhanson2528]

I’ve managed a coffee shop for seven years, and can confirm that while primitive camping cowboy coffee is the best no matter how you do it or what beans you’ve got. Ultimately, it’s about the experience, and that’s a good one, even if you get grounds in your mouth.

The grounds contain tannins & can be use with an oil like body oil & use it to help with sore muscles. As well as coffee grounds the tannins in them add nitrogen to the soil. Esp useful if you have blue rug or spruce plants in your yard. It will perk up those plants really green better than a fertilizer. Some people use coffee grounds to remove onion order off their fingers & even use the grounds to cover scratches in darker wood. The tannins sort of stain the wood.

Being a Hungarian coffee expert I can state it is absolute the ancient way the arabs, then the turks, later the austrians in the 17th century brewed their java. From there after the Pilgrim Fathers took the procedure to the brave new world. So, with the cowboys no rule broken at all. It only differs from the way the Hungarian ex-major (WW 1) Ferenc Illy invented, called Espresso. He then founded the Illy Café company in Italy, as he stayed there, due to his love, later wife after the war.

@@jettron1 Well, it took its way through eastern Europe to get to the middle. Nowadays if you order a greek coffee in Turkey you'll get a cup of thin instant coffee (you know, "Just add water") On the other hand, you order a turkish coffee in Greece: you get instant coffee... So every nation on the Balkán insists they had "invented" the way how... Anywhere from Croatia to Montenegro, from Macedónia to Hungary you can buy an "Ibrik", a little tin cup-like pot (preferably copper) with a pencil long handle and voilà, you just need some java (and sugar, if you like). Let it cook up foamy twice - ready Have a good one (after serving in a nice little mocca cup)!

[@error.418]

Ferenc did not invent espresso. He's more known for inventing his own method for maintaining the quality of freshly roasted coffee, and for inventing the Illetta which became the predecessor of today's espresso machine. But it did not make espresso. It was the first automatic coffee machine that substituted pressurized water for steam. But it was more about making coffee faster, still at the consistency of typical filter coffee. That said, it's also worth noting he served in the military from 1914 at almost every front of the First World War, including at the Battle of Kraśnik and the Battles of the Isonzo.

[@stephenmolnar2815]

@@error.418 If you read carefully, I was exactly saying the same as you did.

This is how my Mom made coffee when we went camping. We drank it black, no cream or sugar (like a REAL Cowboy would), and tried not to drink the coffee grounds at the bottom of the mug, and then tossed them into the bush. My parents didn't add cold water though, and started sipping it almost right after they took it off the fire. I can't do that.. mind you, blowing on it seemed to help cool it off(?). As a previous comment suggested, they boiled it longer.. remember, we're talking about REAL Cowboy Coffee. I kept that metal coffee pot for years..the bottom of the pot was permanently black from all those years sitting on the fire. I used it when I went camping with my own family, sometimes just to boil water for tea or doing the dishes. The other thing I looked forward to was when we threw the empty "Nabob" bag the coffee came in, into the fire..it would burn with green and blue flames..as a kid I thought that was pretty cool. I'll always be grateful to my parents for giving us those many days of camping experiences and know how, so I could carry on the tradition with my own family. Camping in the forest (with a tent which I also inherited) was always the best! Oh, and don't forget the gas latern that you had to vigoursly pump air into, but in a gentle manner, so that the mantle wouldn't disintegrate..always have an extra mantle or two on hand, just in case. I wonder how many people know what I'm talking about..it's a different world now..but..this camping "know how" might be a life-saver one day. Who knows what the future holds.

Not to sounds snobbish but even James couldn't make a good "cowboy coffee". The fact is that you are seriously over extracting the beans and boiling the water will strip the beans of any character. This method is fine if you like extremely bitter coffee but there is no point using speciality beans with this method.

[@ericojonx]

The way I was taught: Coffee in hot water, just under boil temp; In the hot water for four minutes. Any longer, more bitter, not better. Paper filter removes some of the oils, So use a metal filter, if not like dregs. Not a matter of "rules"," trial & error" to find what you like. Fresh grind worth the trouble, more flavor.

About half of forest fires in the western part of North America (and all over our world) are often started by stupid people who have no respect for our forests, the animals who live there, the timber (therefore taking away many people's income); destroying people's homes, their livestock, etc..even taking human lives. Millions of dollars of yours, mine and others are needed and spent each year fighting these forest fires! These people either don't realize or don't care, how easy a campfire that is not extinguished properly, can start a forest fire. It takes literally only one minute to make sure it is totally out!! First, pour some water on it, stir the ashes with a stick, pour more water on it, stir it again, and repeat until there is no smoke and no heat coming from it. Wow, you just saved animals lives, jobs, homes, possibly even a human life..possibly even your own life and the lives of your family and others..and it only took a minute out of your day! And the forests will be there for you, your kids, and others to enjoy another day. It's also important to have something to contain the campfire.. one way is to dig a shallow hole in the ground and surround it with rocks. There are many methods to keep a campfire contained..and will only take a little bit of your time and energy. You may not realize how fast a forest fire, or even a grass fire, can grow from one tiny spark into a fire too big for you to put out, and now spreading like "Wildfire" very quickly consuming many hecters of forest, and everything in it, and living in it. Some animals may survive but are often badly burned. You would be surprised how even a slight breeze can cause a forest fire to spread..way too fast to control. Now the firefighters have to try to put it out..some have even lost their own lives trying to conquer the fire that you started because you were in too much of a hurry, or too lazy, or didn't care enoughto take "1" minute of your time to make sure your campfire was completely out..no red coals, no heat coming from it! Such an easy, simple thing to do. My husband was a forest firefighter. It is extremely hot, physically demanding, exhausting work. They are usually allowed to do this for only three weeks at a time because it is so exhausting and unhealthy for them. I don't know how they stand the heat, even though they usually wear protective clothing, which doesn't necessarily keep the heat at bay.. and possibly respirators, which don't necessarily stop them from breathing in some of the smoke. The smoke can spread for many miles and is not necessarily visible..and is potentially toxic to all of us, especially those of us with breathing problems, chronic health conditions, the elderly, our childen, etc. The experts say that the particles go right through our lungs, therefore into our bloodstreams, our organs, thru our entire body. It's not uncommon for forest fighters and city firefighters to develope cancer because of this. And FOR GOD'S SAKE, AND OURS..those people who try to film the fires with drones..are you really that stupid!!! When you put the drone up into the airspace, the planes and helicopters who are trying to help put out the fire, cannot take a chance on hitting the drone which could cause them to crash..you are potentially killing the very people putting themselves in danger to save YOUR life and other's!!! AND NOW, they have to stop flying for at least a day which allows the fire to spread even faster!!! I'm sorry I have rambled on so long again, but I'm not going to apologize for being so passionate about this. I have lived in these gorgeous mountains and life-giving forests of Beautiful British Colombia most of my life. PLEASE allow me continue to do so! Do you realize that it is mainly the forests of our world that gives us the oxygen necessary to breath and live..and that the trees and plants consume the carbon dioxide that we breath out, and now over-produce in others ways (another story) to enable them to grow and live. Did you know that (1) average size tree produces enough oxygen for a family of 4, for a year. Yes, even though forest fires are incredibly destructive (have you personally seen it), they can also bring about renewal (Google it..surprisingly, l'm getting too exhausted to explain). However, the many fires caused by lightning each year do that..Mother Nature knows what she's doing. Anyway, I'm hoping most of you realize that our climate is getting crazier every year..higher temperatures, less rain, etc. Where I live, in Trail, British Columbia, it's no longer unusual for our temperatures to go into the 40's Celsius in the summer. One day it was 47o (that's 116.6 Fahrenheit..don't believe me?.. Google it..thank Google😃 ). Things are getting worse everywhere all over our continent in many ways. Let's be smart enough, caring enough, and brave enough to do our part to at least, hopefully, slow this process down. We'll, I really have to bring this to a close now. I'm hoping I don't get passionate about another comment and feel the need to write a another reply..it's exhausting for this "old gal. 😊 I do appreciate your comments though, and I am happy that some of you said you have enjoyed reading my "Short Stories". 🙂 Take care of yourself and others. Most importantly, be kind to one another. Hope you all have a Good Day, or Evening!

I thought maybe this was take two and he had already burned down part of the forest 😂

[@Pete_952]

I've used this method for years and it really works great. No bitterness, and it's more than enough for 2, so I use a smaller amount. Oh, and I do it in the kitchen, campfire is optional 😊

[@bingbangboom9614]

Yeah… this is how coffee has been made for hundreds of years. Glad he figured it out.

Force James Hoffman to watch this on an endless loop and he'll tell you everything he knows.

[@ronniepirtlejr2606]

My family showed me how to make this. They (the 12 of them) grew up living on the side of the Colorado River in a makeshift shed in the 30's, 40's & early 50's. They had no electricity . Most of them went to school at the little Church in Oatman Arizona on old Route 66. It is a historical Ghost Town revived as a tourist attraction nowadays. They called this Pirtle Coffee after their last name. It was the only way they knew how to make coffee . All cooking they done was either over a fire pit or wood stove.

My grandpa used to break an egg into the pot after the cold water. The grounds were trapped in the egg. after the coffee was gone, he ate the egg. Hard core camper!

My Mom said to me, how you make some is as important as what you make. That reminds me of your excellent content👌.

[@hankfrankly7240]

I'm 76. Watched my grandma make coffee on an old cook stove like this all the time. Once ina while she'd add an egg, shell and all... Egg coffee.

[@Lee-jh6cr]

I just finished describing this. My aunt made it with egg shells. She'd be 112 now. I can't remember why she added the egg shells. Was it to keep the grounds down? I don't remember her adding the cold water. Did your grandmother tell you why?

[@hankfrankly7240]

@@Lee-jh6cr She never told me and I was young and dumb so I never asked. Research tells me it was for removing acids in the coffee beans, settling the grounds and giving the coffee a smoother taste.

[@user-rx6ve1lt9v]

I also agree it's the best way to make coffee. Honestly I'm more of a coffee snob and prefer a dark roast with smoky, chocolate notes. I bought a copper Turkish coffee pot for the stove . Mmm mmm good.

[@SoldatDuChristChannel]

smoky is just another description for burnt, dark roasts are gross as hell

Dang! I was watching some dork using all weird tools to make coffee. Now I’m here. This is more authentic. I like this one.

I live on this stuff, can't drink coffee made any other way. I go for 6 cups of water, 6 tablespoons of coffee grounds, boiled for 4 minutes and settled with the cold water. Always smooth and strong. Great video!

As a cook in the Army, I use to make the coffee this way when we went to do our field exercises

This is basically a better version of how I made my morning coffee when I was in a rush and couldn't find my French press. The cold water is a better solution than what I did though

Hum, that's close to "hillbilly coffee", 😊I put the coffee in with the cold wazer, then bring it to a boil, put on the lid remove from the heat and let it brew for 10 minutes, I love coffee like that!

[@ChakatOfTheWind]

Awesome showing. Few people know good coffee.

[@Muhovc]

Boil it for 10 seconds instead of 4 minutes with grounded coffe. It'll taste better.

[@bmo14lax]

Way better, But still not nearly as good if you just use a drip machine. It's been proven scientifically. Percolating and running the grounds through the water more than once is not coffee.

[@Muhovc]

@@bmo14lax Never tried it. If I have to make coffe for 50 people, I go this path. Boil water, add coffe for short time, remove, wait. Whats not mentioned here is that it has to be ground correctly so it actually sinks.

[@bmo14lax]

@@Muhovc or water temperature, or the fact most people just boil it. Sinking it in near boiling is far better. Like you did

for real. 4 minutes is like trying to burn a liquid

i’ve been making coffee similarly this way since my french press broke. it does break rules in every sense since i’m a barista, but frankly it is fun to experiment flavor and strength! and the slight grittiness isn’t half bad.

[@TPark-rf3lt]

as a lover of both snooty coffee, and diner coffee... cowboy coffee is legit! Different techniques are just different techniques! 😄

[@lorraineruelas6611]

I do this to my coffee too but I never tried the cold water thank you for your recipe❤️

[@johnparish1432]

I do it a lot differently. the water should be something like 185° to 205°, NOT boiling. Then you add the coffee stir the heck out of it, and the grounds will settle by themselves. Much much simpler.

[@netslum12]

This is what i do when im too lazy to clean my french press lol

Brilliant my friend, thanks for sharing. 😊

I done exactly this over a campfire in the UK, just through improvisation, coffee was great. I tossed the grounds onto the fire at the end too.
