I buy green coffee beans, vacuum seal them - they last for years. I then roast only what I can use in 2-3 weeks. Roasting is easily done in a cast iron skillet or a Dutch oven. Hand grinders can be ordered on line for less than $10.00. A French press is a good alternative to a percolator. When we are faced with a power outage - this is how I do it.

Your verbal delivery is like a meditation coach, it's so relaxing! Good tips. I don't usually like coffee made in a percolator, it's too bitter. Maybe I'm not boiling it long enough? When camping I make my coffee in a French press. I also used it daily during the Snow-acalypse that hit Texas a few months ago. I KNOW the Stuff has really hit the fan if I have to make coffee without my press! I've read some historical fiction where they scraped burnt toast and boiled the crumbs for a coffee substitute. And I've tried toasted wheat coffee substitute. None of that has caffeine, and, to an admitted coffee snob, both are pretty bad. I've also tried toasted youpon "coffee". It does have caffeine in it. There's a very interesting story about it on how the East India Company, who were tea traders and once one of the most powerful companies in the world, persuaded scientists to name it "ilex vomatoria" while also assigning some terrible side effects to it in order to eliminate the potential North American threat to the tea trade. But nothing tastes like that nectar of the gods, real coffee! If you're an addict, pack some No-Doz or Excederin, because if you are really addicted and you go cold turkey, you will be miserable for several days.

WOW... People does not know how to brew a cup of coffee?? Amazing! Thanks for once again giving us some good time watching your presentation. I beg though to disagree on the procedure itself. In my family it has always been: Bring the water to a rolling boil, remove the vessel from the heat, put in the coffee on top, leave it until all the coffee has sunk to the bottom (or honestly: MOST of the grounds). No cold water on top. Well, that is our way of making good coffee. Thanks again for a nice video!

I like your method of making coffee it's very similar to the way I learned to make camp coffee. The only difference is let the water warm before adding the grounds. Once the water is warm with just a light steam coming off it add the grounds. Then bring it to a rolling boil for three minutes. Set it off to the side until it settles then add the cold water to settle the grounds. The boiling takes the bitterness out of the coffee and you can drink it without sweetener or milk or cream.

I make my Cowboy coffee in a cast iron dutch oven..I use a womans nylon sock, put my coffee in the sock and tie a knot, and toss in the water, set on the fire, and use a dipper to get the coffee into the cup..I prefer a filter, so a nylon sock, or a cotton sock will work as a filter..When I would go camping with my horse in Alaska, I pre made my nylon coffee filters, filled with coffee, and then stuffed them in a waterproof bag, or container to carry in my saddle bags. I carried a similiar pot to your percolator pot. Nowadays, I live in the deep south USA, and we have electric outages on a regular basis from stirms, here on my horse farm, so I make the coffee in the fireplace...

Heat water and pour in a one cup filter. Don't trust rust! I measure 1/2 T per 6 oz water. If you don't have a coffee percolator, you're sure not gonna have a coffee grinder or be able to roast coffee . Still I find some good info here - but if you don't get rid of those grains before drinking, they will destroy your esophagus. It's not even recommended to pour your grains down your sink pipe because it ERRODES METAL.

You could always used a small metal strainer to pour the coffee through if there were still grounds floating around in the coffee if you forget to add cold water. Also, you could use a dry coffee mug to measure the coffee you are adding to the pot of water keeping in mind one ounce = 2 tablespoons. If the mug can hold 10 ounces, you'd need to fill it half way to get 10 tablespoons worth.

My dear Christa. I wanted to pass along what I have been doing for several years now for your and your viewers benefit. I buy green unroasted coffee from coffee bean corral or Amazon. I then roast it using a heat gun in a flour sifter can that has a handle and a crank. I removed the crank so it is essentially a large aluminum can with a screen at the bottom. I put 1 cup of green unroasted beans and pick up the flour sifter by the handle wearing an oven mit. Then point the heat gun down toward the coffee beans with one hand and slightly shake the flour sifter with the other hand so as to make the beans rotate around inside. The. Heat gun will finish roasting your beans in anywhere from 8 min to 12 min depending on how long you want to roast them. I go just into the 2nd crack which is called a full city roast. If you go past the 2nd crack that is a French roast. But then they get oily looking and will go rancid. Btw, fresh roasted coffee will never be bitter. Coffee is bitter because it is old and rancid already. Believe me Christa, if you have never roasted your own coffee and drank it, you will be amazed at how superior it is. I wish I could give you some of mine but I am in Florida. It is by far the best coffee I ever had. Oh once your coffee is done roasting cool it off quickly. I pour from one strainer into another back and forth to let the beans cool down. Pointing a fan at it helps too. Don't do this in your kitchen though as it is very smokey and messy as chaff will go everywhere lol. Do it outside. Then let your beans sit for a couple days to degass. You can grind it up right after you roast them if you have too but the flavor will not be as good as if you let them degass for a couple days or so. Then make it how you did in this video and then tell me what you think? PS. Try Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee. The best of all of them IMHO. God bless you.
