I love coffee. I started drinking coffee in my early teens, daddy would put on a pot and we would sit in the kitchen, drink coffee and talk for hours… God, I miss him 😢
I have a childhood memory of waking up to the aroma of my mother perking coffee. Once perked, the coffee pot "innards" were removed and the pot was place over the pilot light to keep it warm. There was coffee, and the aroma, in the house most of the day. Modern drip systems do not provide the same aromatic experience. There was always a hot cup ready for a visiting neighbor. During the hot humid summer afternoons the drink was iced coffee. I have been a daily coffee drinker since I was about 14 years old.
My mom told me that her mother, who was born in the 1890's, used the eggshells in her coffee (I guess they didn't have a coffee maker yet). They apparently called strong coffee 'tiger's milk.' When I was little and we visited my grandparents, my grandfather would mix me up a cup of coffee, milk, and sugar, get me on his lap, and feed it to me. That's a good way to create a coffee fiend!
Real fond of coffee. I keep it simple. Buy dark roast beans. Grind em in an old mill that belonged to my great-great grandmother from the 1880s. And use a standard drip style coffee maker. No Starbucks or boutique stuff. Just straight up coffee.
My parents still use the electric grinder they bought when they got married in the early 1970's. Has duct tape on it from when my mom dropped it over twenty years ago
Dark roast coffee is the worst. It is usually roasted so much because the coffee by itself doesn’t have good flavor. True coffee should be a medium light roast.
@spencerd1079 Well tastes vary as do people. I like my coffee with a bold kick. Others prefer more mild. That's why there's many different roasts for those many tastes folks enjoy.
I love Arbuckle's Ariosa Original and their Dark Roast. Always stocked up on both. I either use a percolator on stove or do it the cowboy way when making outside. Best coffee ever. Been doing it for about 30 years like this.
The best coffee story I've heard was the shame the Communist government of East Germany felt about their inability to provide good coffee to its citizens. East German people who had relatives who lived in the West would have them mail pounds of decadent Western coffee while there was little to no java on the shelves. The East German government took some of their precious foreign capital to a brother communist country Vietnam and paid to have coffee plantations planted there The biggest problem was by the time those trees grew into mature trees....East Germany no longer existed.
All the reasons stated why the pioneers drank coffee are presented as past tense. Every single one is still valid in the 21st century. I've often wondered why we didn't follow our British ancestors and drink tea. Now I know, thanks. Coffee must have been very expensive. So much hand labor and the long distance importation. Hard to imagine our cowboys taking a break for a spot of tea, pip pip, old boy.
I experimented with the cowboy coffee brewing routine in my kitchen and thought I had it figured out until you tell me to boil it first then add the grounds and then return it to a boil. More than 30 years ago as a young man working with cattlemen trying to solve disease problems in their herds I saw first hand the bonding that occurs over a cup. Just the invitation to have one triggered a sense of appreciation and fellowship. It's also what helped me write scientific papers while also executing night herd surveillance work during lambing season and kept me alive as a relief milker at a dairy.
Gunsmoke must have had a huge coffee budget. Matt, Chester, Doc, and later Festus loved some coffee!!!😁 Chester was the real coffee connoisseur. He was always trying some crazy recipe.
When I was a little girl my dad would take me to Kroger’s down the coffee isle and they had a large grinder and he would grind it right there . Smelled so good
Funny story, after I got off work one day many years ago, my somewhat new girlfriend had made us dinner. She didn't like coffee, but she had made some for me. 'Try it. I don't know if I put enough sugar in it' she said. I dutifully took a good sip out of the mug. Suddenly my eyes got wide and either a confused or horrified look flushed my face, and a heartbroken look crossed hers. 'You don't like it!' 'No no, it's not the coffee - you said you put sugar? It tastes like salt." Her eyes suddenly showed panic. She ran to her cupboard, grabbed a few jars, and bringing them to the table said 'It was salt. I hadn't labeled them when I brought them from home, and they both look the same." I went ahead and finished the cup, since it didn't taste all that bad, and it was a small cup anyway. 😅
I love coffee but I’m extremely sensitive to caffeine. Doesn’t take much for me to become a nervous wreck. Fine line for me between the amount needed to fully wake up and the amount that has me climbing the walls!
If you want to go deeper into the history of the discovery and spread of coffee, my I suggest the following book: The Devil's Cup. It is a combination historical documentary and adventurous travelogue focusing on coffee.
Refuse dumps at old mining sites in the mountains round me are dominated by coffee cans and thousands of condensed milk cans. We've found a lot of condensed milk cans which were heated over the fire until the can expanded, and suspect they were boiling sweetened condensed milk into caramel, but my understanding of these can dumps is that the cans we're seeing was unsweetened condensed milk.
I absolutely love coffee. I keep it simple: Coffee with a little creamer. No sugar or any thing else. I usually have about 5, sometimes more, cups a day.
I got told moving to cowboy coffee would ease heartburn as the process burns off the acid that creates heart burn and indigestion and they were right. I have an expensive espresso setup and roast my own beans at home but I often shift to making cowboy coffee in an enamel pot on the stove as it’s just such a lovely tasting coffee and a nice break from the strong espresso shots i usually drink.
I make cowboy coffee every morning wwater in pan, big spoon of coffee,let boil a couple minutes - set of burner a couple of minutes,then pour cold water around pan- then serve- 32oz. Every morning, by boiling a couple minutes it takes the acid out. 🍻
Added salt. That's funny. One of my favorite spices to add to my coffee is Garam Masala, which has a little salt besides the cinnamon, cardamom and other spices. I've enjoyed making Cowboy Coffee ever since I first heard about it.

It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge. When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty. Most of the stuff people worry about never happens. Don’t squat with your spurs on. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. Don’t interfere with something that ain’t botherin’ you none. Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. It’s better to be a has-been than a never-was. A wink’s as good as a nod to a blind mule. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
American Civil War soldiers would break up the coffee beans and simply boil the results in a tin cup over a fire. Most considered coffee, " that most wonderful and healthful drink."
I can appreciate what the highly caffeinated coffee culture does for productivity... but man, that standard is so hard to live up to for anybody that lives a caffeine-free life style.
I don't drink coffee but like the smell of it Coffee is like alcohol the more you drink it the less it seems to work.. I have found that I get just as much done just drinking plain water but I don't usually sit on my butt all day.
Not true, the simple act of boiling it would suffice. Adding all the extra steps of making coffee doesn’t make the water any more or less “sketchy”. Highly doubtful anyone would find questionable water and decide to just make coffee out of it to freshen it up lol.

No Latte back then , no pumpkin spice they drank it black!!!!!!!

The perfect recipe. All that folks need.
ahh but dont let me smoke a joint in my porch youd call the police
1/2 whiskey and half coffee in a shot LOL
They have caffeinated alcoholic drinks now
Sounds like addiction lol
Nice man. I’m in heroin myself!
Who else never runs out of coffee
Hahaha. Not for long
I roast my own these days . I think I’ve become too addicted to the whole process
Add a cigarette!

Groovy episode. Coffee the coolest drink in the world.
I had my first sip of coffee at 3, I still remember how good it tasted? Crazy to think a young child would love coffee! Mom verified!
I drink a whole pot of cowboy coffee every day. With some Stevia, cocoa, and a couple of teaspoons of vanilla extract.
