- Cowboy Coffee. Just saying it out loud evokes images of horses, wide open spaces, and campfires. All you need is a pot, ground coffee, water and heat. BIGGBY Coffee Co-CEO Bob Fish breaks down the magic of one of the simplest methods of brewing coffee. And answers the most important question: is it good?

Guess what. Arab coffee is made in a much similar way, by letting it boil (only 1 or 2 minutes), then pouring cold water just the same, so the coffee solids settle down, and slowly pouring with the foam. Difference: coffee must be very finely ground and, normally the coffee is medium roast. Thanks for showing this method. Camelboy, perhaps?
Lol
Probably where we got the idea from in the first place. Good ideas travel fast. 🔥🤟🇺🇸
Guess what? No one cares.
Using this video to make some cowboy coffee in the wild this weekend! 😊
Cowboy coffee is generally made with very finely ground coffee. It's not measured with whole beans, it is 1/4 cup of finely ground coffee grounds which would certainly be more than 17 grams.
Went with the Kent Rollins OLD American Cowboy Trail Coffee procedure as you just did and it is the BEST IMHO...Simple & Straight Forward while the best part is it is DELICIOUS which is what everyone would prize out of their coffee brew efforts ...Bravo!!!
Thank you for this! This is the exact video I was digging around for as I wanted to understand the science behind it. I'm willing to admit I am a coffee snob and I couldn't figure why this produces good coffee. Now I know!
This guy and his setup could not be further from a cowboy
I have most coffee making systems, an enamel coffee pot is next. Thanks I really want to give it a go, I’m a little worried it’s only better than hotel coffee though.
P.S. I’ve never tried hotel coffee it’s Hario or Aero press when I travel light.
Hold on, kent rawlins is using a quarter cup of ground Folgers coffee which is far more by mass than a quarter cup of whole-bean coffee you might want to redo your recipe.
Made it this way in the corps. 30 gallons at a time.
Thank You for your service !!
I do not look back fondly on Navy coffee... Maybe it has gotten better in the last 40+ years, but it was pretty bad back then... Not that it stopped us from drinking it...
Hey, thank you for this video. Really informative. Can you let me know the grind size you used for this method ?
very course
Just tried a test batch of this with 9 grams of Cafe du Monde and 500 grams of water in a 2-qt sauce pan for 3 minutes... Then ran it through a filter in a funnel into a large mug... Used powdered creamer so as to not dilute it with milk/cream... And sugar to taste... Not bad, fairly smooth... A bit lighter than I prefer, so I'll probably use a bit more coffee next time...
DISCLAIMER: My taste buds are dead from drinking Navy coffee 40+ years ago...
Happy trails 🎼
Thank you. Very interesting!
If I’m in a hotel, do I put the coffee right into the coffee pot and then add the water?
I’m also considering trying this in my tea, pots, which don’t get used that much. Might keep it warm much better.
Good video. Thx
Best Coffee. You can use cheap Coffee and its still good.
Would love to see these demos with the coffee poured into clear glass cups/vessals so the viewer can see grounds (or lack thereof); better visual, IMO.
'Y'all Be Safe!
Can i ask how that is with all the nutrients in the coffee. with all the nutrients in the coffee?
Thanks Bob for the video. One question I have is how fine did you grind your coffee beans for your cowboy coffee? Is it closer to espresso or Pour over?
I would recommend somewhere between Auto drip and French Press :)
@@bobfish9617 Thank you Bob!
I make mine twice that strong and never get heartburn. Pod coffee makers give me horrible heartburn.
Thank you for the video! I just got probably most of the answers to my questions. One main was that I want to make coffee just for myself, so I will use quite a small pod. Tomorrow I will try and see what it will be. It looks like the coffee / water ratio is 1 : 30, I usually use 1 : 15 for other brewing metods. Therefore when I tried someting like "cowboy" with this ratio It was not good. Thanks again, Pavel, Czech Republic. P.S.: I also roast my own coffee, will it be good if I am used to medium roast?
That ain't a roaring boil man
There is no such thing as cowboy coffee!
For those of you truly interested in the culture of coffee, cowboy coffee is a misnomer, cowboys were not introduced into the American culture until the 1860s. Coffee however was introduced to the Americas historically by Captain John Smith founder of Jamestown in 1607. In all probability according to the research I have been able to do they probably cooked it the same way that we now attribute to cowboys, boiling it or cooking it like tea and then drinking it. While it may seem romantic, when camping, to call it cowboy coffee, it ain't! You could just as easily call it James coffee, Cooks coffee, Jamestown coffee, or just what my grandpa did, boiled coffee. Unless of course you percolated it, which was the only other primary method of making it in the 1880s and later, untill modern methods were introduced.
But no matter how you make it, enjoy it for what it is. Coffee.
I use a metal strainer when pouring cowboy coffee. Forget the cold water
😂you’re so right! Ain’t no one time for cold water. Triple the coffee dosage while they’re at it.
Why dont you just strain it?
Because cowboys didn't have paper towels back then? :)
My question is, how much of that coffee can you pour out before the grounds start coming out into your cup? Thanks
