How to Roast Coffee - Vol. II, Episode 22

[@blueduck9409]

I would like to have seen you grind that coffee and brew it, then drink a cup.

[@danreger8924]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

Glad you enjoyed.

[@dianauhlman56]

This is a wonderful! Next living history, I’m going to have to do this.

[@simonsobolewski7831]

It's 10 to 11pm and now I want a cup of coffee....damn you.

[@magetaaaaaa]

Same. What's even worse is that I've got a couple pounds of green beans coming in the mail. I really wish I had them now, I'd go out into the garage and roast up a batch.

[@reenactorboy1858]

Can you guys make a video on the several ways you can setup a shelter tent please.

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

We will put that on the list!

[@reenactorboy1858]

Civil War Digital Digest thank you

[@johndoogan3712]

Great video, highly informative, I would suggest the bushcrafters practice these skills because nothing beats a really good pot of coffee, especially if you've roasted, ground and brewed it yourself. PS Sailors may have theirs sweetened with molasses on board ship and certainly their tea on a British ship.

Roasting coffee beans is a lot like toasting pecans or almonds or walnuts for a salad, only the beans take much longer. Thanks for another great video! (And maybe slow down those credits at the end, just a bit!)

[@thetarheelreenactor8239]

Could you guys do some more videos on confederate items or meals? Keep up the awesome videos!

[@PilotSpOB]

Keep up the good work!

[@77thNYSV]

Great video! I love the field ration videos. Maybe you could do one on how we baked our bread for the 150th Shiloh? :-)

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

We will put it on the list!

[@BlenderWeasel]

In modern terms, would this be a medium or dark roast?

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

That completely depends how long you keep it in the roasting pan. Since you were going from green to complete, it would be up to when you stopped, I think.

[@talleman1]

After crushing, please strain coffee with rag as a filter.

[@annamalin123]

Would a soldier on campaign carry a fry pan some people say they never would and others say they would.What is your opinion on whether you should carry one or not.

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

Never say never and never say always! I have read accounts of dry pans, kettles, coffee pots being carried. Shared by a mess of men and traded around to carry.

[@annamalin123]

How would you roast your coffee on campaign if you did not have a fry pan.Because on campaign you would get rid of every bit of unnecessary weight as possible.

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

Using canteen half’s and kettles are other vessels they had access to. Sharing in a mess of several also helped. One carried a fry pan and another a pot while some carried nothing. Switching the loads around as needed.

[@50TNCSA]

where did the federal government import its beans from?

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

That’s a great question I’d like to learn more about! Will

[@williameichler5297]

This question is being worked on my the CWDD Team!

[@blueduck9409]

I suspect the armys coffee beans came from various south american countries, or Caribbean islands.

[@davidnagore725]

Now as then, shipmate.
