Mr. Kent Rollins. I'm a 32 years old Brazilian. And I've been drinking coffee since my childhood. Brazil has one of the best coffees in the world, but the way we do it here is very different from your method. The traditional Brazilian way of making coffee consists of pouring hot water (not boiling, but almost) over a mount of coffee grain in a paper filter. It's a very strong coffee and I love it. But I always had problems with my stomach hurting. Well, after seeing your video I tried your method early this morning. Goddamn! The difference is notable. The coffee is way smoother. It doesn't taste too bitter and the acid is all gone. I'm definitely making coffee the cowboy way from now on. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sir.
I will tell you another way I have been doing for over 2 years is I put my coffee filter in than my coffee grounds I kind of like it a little stronger so it is more bitter.But once I got my coffee in the coffee filter I will make sure the coffee is even or flat all the way across than add about a half of a teaspoon of salt on the top of my coffee grounds.When my coffee gets done brewing it is smooth and not a bit bitter and have never not one time tasted the salt.I am telling you it works try it T least once and tell me I am wrong!!!!
@@renangoncalvesflores I love cowboy coffee! It makes me think of childhood. I usually make coffee with the pour over method, but cowboy style requires less stuff.
I learned that method of making coffee many years ago at camp in British Columbia. I've used a very similar way in my "coffee boiler" since then and it's just as you describe. Better than those Mr. Coffee things... I'm a vietnam vet, God bless you!
No he’s not he insults stuff subliminally haha y’all say this about anybody who videos themselves doing something wholesome “they’re the bob ross of sniffing ass”
My dad taught me to make coffee this way when I was a kid out on hunting trips. I can't make it without thinking of him, a memory I'll cherish for the rest of my days.
I remember back when I was a new bride of 19 (now I'm 81) to a REAL New Mexico Cowboy in February 1961 & when spring rolled around it was time to work cows in Artesia NM, It was branding time (trust me I knew how to make cowboy coffee "your way" that day by the time they finished working their cows). Cowboys really drink a lot of coffee when there's fresh homemade doughnuts. I would no more finished a batch of large ones & they were ready for more, I had fixed them a really big breakfast that morning but that was at 3:00am before they left the HQ's to be in the north pasture at daylight to gather (I worked for Vanderpools bakery in El Paso before I married doughnuts were my specialty) our noon meal was set for 11am thank goodness I had a big big roast in the oven with all the veggies & had fresh bread made or our noon meal would had to be a can of soup each because I spent most of my morning frying doughnuts (I fed 18 cowboys that day according to my diary) I love cooking for a bunch of hungry men (I was raised a farm girl my mom taught me to cook for hungry men) so I was in hog heaven that day & my husband was so proud of me & when your a new bride that means everything!!
I love hearing ur storys young lady.reminds me of my youth with my grampa .he raised cattle and grew citrus he was known as a cracker.he carried a bull whip and rode a horse .a true pioneer back in the day in central fla.
I’m (76 and Every video he makes reminds me of being a young child on the farm. Watching my father and uncles drinking coffee after a hard days work enjoying life in the simplest of ways.
Isn’t that magical? How sometimes the internet does something beautiful for us and reminds us of a simpler time when we were innocent children? I love his videos so much.
About a year ago, I posted a comment about your delicious coffee. After that, I made some for mom and myself and she absolutely loved it as well. In fact, every time mom wanted coffee, I made her Cowboy Coffee. Mom passed away last December (1 day before my 57 birthday) and I cannot thank you enough for a cup of delicious coffee! God bless you, amigo!
I'm so sorry about your mother! I'm staring at pictures of mine it's all I have. I lost all my family at once. Which is none of your concern of course it's your mother that you're concerned about and how you feel. I never liked it when somebody answered somebody sorrows with their own like I just did. But I want you to know I know the feeling I'm not just saying I'm sorry. It sounds like you are close. I don't have any wise words for you because I'm not handling it well myself and it's been about three years but I lost everything at once mom and dad and family that I'm starting to remember good memories of but I have to remember why they're not my family anymore. I hope you have things that remind you of her and I hope that one day you can miss her but not hurt the way you do now. And when you have your birthday have a cup of coffee for your mom. Somehow I just know that Sean now you're thinking ever a little stronger at that time! Love to Mom's!
Im joking a little because you can make coffee anyway you want. And you’re right, very similar with Turkish coffee. But for example you would never let the coffee rolling boil for 4 minutes in the ibrik… you let it get close. But never boil… for 4 minutes!! “Modern” coffee you usually boil, let it come down in temp a little, and use that But I laughed because it’s so in contrast with all the snobbery associated with 3rd wave brewing. “Seasoning” a coffee pot in that culture is definitely not a thing. Even with moca pots. It just make more bitter coffee. And then using a scoop to measure your coffee versus weighing it and using a coffee to water ratio according to grind size. The careful use and measuring of heat… and ol Bertha is putting out “697,000 degrees.” And of course the sight of a Folgers can send you to coffee jail. I just appreciate the contrast in this video versus like a James Hoffman video. But obviously this isn’t wrong in the least, it’s great
@@TheDocHelios I enjoyed both this video and your typical James Hoffman video. I heard some people call him a snob, but my experience with him is quite positive. He's not an elitist or a gatekeeper as far as I could tell.
@MaxRavenclaw yeah he's a nerd about coffee and all but it's his job and passion yk. I don't really ever feel like he looks down on ppl who drink what he would consider bad coffee.
I have never come across a Nation as yet, like the American People who show so much of passion when it come to their Coffee. This is what made me fall in love with Western Movies and the love for the great out doors. Salute to Kent and his Wife for an amazing series. Love from South Africa.
I am from the UK. And I drink a lot of coffee. Since I was about 8. I do not do tea! Unless it's herbal. Medicinal. I must of been acowboy in a previous life. I permanently have a coffee on the go. All day. At work. In summer. Winter. On holiday in the sun. Only other thing I drink. Is Jack Daniels! 😮
I love how your innocent comment has accidentally sparked an *”international coffee war”* in the responses. 😂 As an immigrant to the USA (from Mexico) I totally get what you mean about the coffee culture here. You weren’t implying that the USA is the ONLY country that is “passionate” about coffee, or claim that it’s the BEST you will ever find!! Simply that coffee is basically a National institution here-and because it’s such a massive country, with countless cultures all blended together…there is an endless supply of people who are excited to tell you about THEIR own special/unique/culture’s/family’s/etc. way of brewing coffee!! There is such a uniquely beautiful passion about coffee here, unlike anything else I’ve experienced elsewhere. (I’d say the closest I’ve seen so far, was when I was working in Turkey. Everyone was excited to talk about their family’s own way of making the “perfect coffee”. ❤)
This man is a barista. He may not even know what an Espresso is, but that doesn’t matter: he’s got the passion for coffee and for quality, he won’t accept mediocrity, he’s got tremendous coffee knowledge, and he is passing it on to others, too. I am a barista in Europe, and I have respect and admiration for this man, and I’m trying to learn from him.
Kent is the real deal….seasoned better that his coffee pot. He’s not a barista. He didn’t go to Starbucks U. He’s the kind of American the rest of us should be emulating.
@@sirspongadoodle American** I meant exactly what I said. I have to remind myself that 80% of the Internet is occupied by virtue signaling, children of helicopter parents that think much too highly of themselves.
Purchased a small pot and tried making Cowboy Coffee according to Kent’s directions and ……. We got a winner ! It’s everything Kent said it was and that’s the end of my Mr. Coffee ! Thanks Kent ! 👍
Just don't use it in apartment complexes cus you'll start out on the top floor and end up melting all the way to the ground floor, great coffee though.

My grandma came from Finland in the early 1900’s and she made coffee pretty much the same way but she would add egg shells before settling the grounds with cold water. Beyond magical!
I looked it up on google and it says this, "The egg's purpose is twofold. First, the alkaline pH of the eggs and their shells balance out the acidic quality of coffee grounds and make for a smoother cup. Secondly, the protein in the eggs coagulate as the coffee boils and collect the free-floating grounds without the need for a coffee filter."
I have tried making coffee all kinds of ways, from coffee maker, pour over , and French press. I just made coffee in a saucepan following your instructions and it is so smooth, I am drinking it black without any problems. Also, the cold water trick works so well, I'm genuinely kind of annoyed that I never knew to do that. I know this video is three years old now, but thank you!
@@CowboyKentRollinsi grew up watching western movies, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, to name a few and i’ve always see them drink their coffee from what you made, I will definitely try this. BTW, the recent collaboration weejio with Uncle Roger was awesome!!!! Can’t wait to see the EggFriedRice collab video
@@oguzhanmercanli6491 I’m from the southeast Kentucky and my southern accent is fairly strong. When I was a kid, people used to get a kick out of hearing me say “ice” because, well, it sounded like something not so nice. “I want a piece of ice” always got a big laugh haha
Does my old heart good to hear 'ice box' instead of refrigerator. I was raised by my grandparents and didn't realize we were considered old-fashioned until I went to school and heard all the kids talking 'fancy.' Ah, the good ol' days. Thank you for your videos, Mr. Rollins.
I grew up with an ice box. Here the ice man would come holding the ice with tongs over his shoulder and fill the box. My father would have to empty the water every day or so. Then we got a refrigerator wow what a difference.
Me too, Was always ice box then when I worked on a navy vessel it became a refer, but to me it will always be an ice box, want an interesting movie to watch that has some history in it made in the 50s “Come back little Sheba”
That's right we had the "Ice box"too some time later in life my grand mother gave me the "ice tongs" for picking up a big block of ice back in the day, they had a "ice shaver" but the ice box it's self was wooden and the inside was waxed to hold moisture, a box at the bottom to catch the drip, my grand mother was raised somewhere in the mountains where there was a cave that kept ice, good old days long gone but not forgotten.
Greetings from Slovakia! We and our neighbours in Middle Europe know this method as brewing “Turkish Coffee”. We are used to brew just mugs and not a whole pot, but your recipe is great and I’d like to taste… To brew a mug you give two teaspoons of milled coffee, pour boiling water and stir. The wait some two or three minutes and stir again. Now, you have to wait again that the grains sink down to the bottom and enjoy! I will check your advice with the cold water. Physically it makes sense that it sinks the grains much faster. Will let you know my result. Keep well!
The unit I was attached to didn't bring any coffee pots for deployment. So I made coffee just like this in a large pot every day. Everyone loved the coffee, some saying it's better than Starbucks. I'm glad my dad taught me to make coffee this way for our hunting trips. No creamer or sugar needed.
@@LadyPicker thanks. I'm not a English native speaker, I do my best but it is not enough to understand his accent when he speaks faster. Again, thanks so lot for answering me! 🇦🇷☕
@@jorgeherrera1574 You are most welcome!! I get it :) I have a thick Texas accent and talk really fast myself and some folks think I’m hard to understand. 😊 Did you make the coffee? If so hope you enjoyed it!
I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of my childhood and early teens with my Grandparents. Since their passing, I have delighted in listening to the stories of other elders closer to their generation. Even picking up old gear from their days or better yet their actual gear and putting it back into use brings me closer to them even in their absence.
@@JordanBuzzy My Wife and I got married by a "Justice of the Peace" in 1975. He was also an Antique Dealer and he performed the Service in the Antique Shop. My Mom's Mother was sitting there during the service looking around at all of the Antique's that were in the shop that she had Grown up with. Great Memory!!
This is how the Army made field coffee back in the day. The pot was at least 5 gallons and they used the same cold water trick to sink the grounds. Good coffee.
Served with a ladle from a big steel pot. Yesiree! I remember many mornings grabbing my canteen cup and my steel helmet (liner removed) headed to the mess area and getting hot wash water in the helmet and coffee in the canteen cup!
Brief Recipe: 1/4 cup ground to 1 quart of water. Medium Roasted pour coffee in warm water. boil for 4 minutes (or more if you want it stouter). Let it cool down for 1-2 minutes. Pour some cold water on the inside walls of your pot and the spout to wash the grounds and settle them down. You can store it and warm it up later. Just mind the grounds.
Very interesting. I make Turkish coffee in a pot and use very fine grind and pour it just before it boils. You literally wait until you get a little roll at the edge of the pot and it's good to go.!
I saw 5 seconds of this video and immediately subscribed. Who WOULDNT wanna watch badass cowboy grandpa teach you how to live the cowboy life? This is awesome
This is the best way to make coffee. I love turkish coffee specifically and it boils like this and it tastes like magic especially if cardamom is added
I'll never take for granted Mr. Rollins. He has been such an inspiration to me to be the best man I can be. He is so wholesome and kind and smart. He reminds me of my grandpa.
Made this on CK’s while on the army. We were preparing to head out overseas and training in Fort Bliss. My fellow soldiers said they never had coffee so good.
Love everything about this coffee culture you have. Something just makes me wanna leave the city life, walk in into your camp and ask for a cup of coffee. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video
Fun fact, I live in Costa Rica, born and raised, and I watched this video yesterday. It gave me so much nostalgia, I love visiting the states and I have always had an absolute love for the south. And when I saw this I said “god damn, where the hell am I going to find a pot like this?... Turns out my dad had one lying around but they never figured what this was for.. I immediately knew this was it, I just came back from Rita (my family’s stove which has been with us for generations) and made my parents a cup of coffee following your instructions, they said this has been the best darn cup of coffee They’ve ever tasted. I thank you so much for this, you have no idea. God bless you
Mr. Rollins, I just watched this video. I can tell you, as a Navy Veteran, coffee is critical to the surface fleet. I used to come off of watch, before the mess decks even opened, and fresh coffee made, I used to grab a cup of the dregs of the pot after it had been on practically all night. That was my 20 mule team kick in the butt to get my day started. This video was the first time I noticed that you thanked the vets. Your thoughts are appreciated more than you know. Having seen you make coffee, I am now on a mission to find the right pot, and make it like you just did. Thank you so much for all you contribute to the culinary arts, kitchen technique, and practical methods. I use my cast iron often and keep it seasoned. As we Squids say, "Bravo Zulu". Excellent job! All my best. John
Great video. I have no freaking idea why so many people are HORRIFIED by the idea of reheating and/or microwaving coffee! It’s a perfectly hardy beast, and as long as you don’t overdo it, it refrigerates just fine, and does a real nice reheat in the microwave…
This is the nice thing about cowboy coffee. You can easily reheat it because it’s already been boiled lol. If you made a V60 or something you better enjoy it on the spot or else reheating it might mess up the delicate flavors. I have a whole pour-over kit with a scale, gooseneck kettle, and all that but I still enjoy cowboy coffee a lot. Probably because it’s very reminiscent of Arabic coffee where you boil the coffee the same except you’re just adding some extra spices and stuff.
THANK YOU! As a long time sufferer of heart burn after my cup of morning coffee, no matter the brand, no matter the blend, I have boiled it the last 2 days and absolutely 100% NO heart burn, NONE!!! #believethehype
I also got heart burn after drinking coffee, despite drinking energy drinks all the time. This video taught me how to make coffee that didn’t give me heart burn. Thank you Mr. Rollins
This is the kind of wisdom that we are rapidly losing - the kind of wisdom that isn’t valued anymore, but is still so valuable. Thank you so much for making this content.
Thank god for youtube / the internet. It's created some problems, but also keeps gems like this alive and able to reach people who would otherwise NEVER have found out about it
1:36 he implied that eliminating bitterness from coffee by cooking it right eliminates its acidic quality. This kind of wisdom has lost value for a reason.
I took over a Cub Scout pack six years ago. My family campouts had up to 70 hungry mouths and I was trying to figure out how to provide coffee for 20-30 adults in the field. I ran across Kent's original Cowboy coffee videos back then. I subsequently set out and found one of those 3 gallon pots like he has at an antique shop. Let me say, THIS IS the most efficient, simple way to make coffee in the field and the ONLY way to make coffee for a large group. I usually made 2 batches and poured both in a Camco brand 5 gallon insulated beverage dispenser from the Army. All you Cubmasters out there, take it from me and adopt this system.
YOUR COFFEE IS AMAZING! We bought a 3-quart boiler, the same style as yours, and it has changed our lives. Thank you for your service to man- and coffeekind.
Interesting point that I learned from a chemical engineer was when he poured the cold water into the pot... it is called "washing" of the hot liquids which causes all the dregs in the liquid to settle to the bottom of the container. Love cowboy coffee! I often come back to this video to relearn how to make it and how he presents his videos, really reminds me of my grandpa (who also was an old cowboy).
I had cowboy coffee once that the cowboy added sugar and then stuck a red hot burning stick into the coffee while it was bowling. That caramalized the sugars and made the coffee taste creamy and like vanilla with just sugar.
I tried this when my wife and I took our two daughters on their first camping trip in New Braunfels. It was amazing! I love coffee, but I have acid reflux so its hard to drink somerimes. Let me tell you....with this coffee I have zero heartburn and it does not make my wifes stomach hurt. Heck, we even had our camping neighbors come try a cup, now they are hooked! I had to make some adjustments the first couple times, but now I have perfected it. I enjoy watching all your videos. Thank you Mr. Kent!
This guy is hilarious! I didn’t expect to watch the whole 14:35 of this but he hooked me immediately. I love cadence of how he speaks. He’s quite the charismatic character, I must say.
I learned how to make coffee this way from my uncle. Years later I learned to cut the bitterness even further, add some baking soda. Works every time. I also use the baking soda trick in my sweet tea. People don’t know what I do to it to make it taste so smooth (and they never wil😉).
I can't say enough good about Kent. A while back a friend gave me a $8 cup of coffee (after I refused to pay that for coffee) and they said, "it's the best. How I was raised prevented me from telling them it tasted like boiled pond water with a caramel candy melted in it, so I just thanked them. When they came out to the farm, I made coffee just like Kent. They praised the coffee and asked, “is that a specialty ground bean?” Yeah, Maxwell house. Thanks Kent
I pulled mess duty in Vietnam and the recipe for Marine Coffee was a 5 gallon pot full of water and one 3 lbs can of coffee. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, dump the can of coffee in the pot. Stir and remove spoon before the metal spoon desolves. Dump in some ice. Let set, pour into a big coffee urn and serve.
In South Africa we call this "boeretroos" which means farmer's comfort. Such a beautiful name to me. I actually had to stop midway through this video to go make myself a cuppa!
We’ve been studying coffee for years, and it’s always amazing to see videos like this to bring us back to the simplistics. If you’re ever in San Diego Mr. Rollins, I’d love to make you a cup. And I’d love to try some of your cowboy coffee too ❤
Ok, Kent. I broke out my camp coffee pot, minus the percolator guts, and followed your cowboy coffee instructions. I honestly wasn't sure it would be as good as you said. You were right. It's an amazing cup without the bitterness or acidic bite. I made a half gallon. I'm drinking one cup now and putting the rest in the fridge. I want to try it cold. If that works, it'll be easier than cold brew. Thanks!
This is the way I was taught to make camp coffee. It's great to see it in a video. Unfortunately not many people my age have been taught this , or even want to learn. Thank you for all of your advice, and recipes. You are a true role model!
I tried following the direction in this video and was very impressed with the results. The coffee came out so smooth. It takes a little longer than other methods but the taste is worth the time.
Kent, you have converted me! I had one cup of cowboy coffee this morning and it was so good I had to have another, but had to stop myself halfway through drinking it because I was getting too jittery. I even made decaf this way late at night, and it actually didn’t taste like decaf! Tasted just as strong as a regular cup with none of the caffeine. You were right, the acid gets boiled away and it is smooooooth as a Safeway chicken! My new staple for after dinner desserts! Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving!
@@allenh7835 as a barista I have to say you're out of your mind. Got people with caffeine allergies that would have a serious reaction if that were the case. Caffeine is removed from the beans with an acetate washing process and then roasted to a dark level that removes even more. Dark roasts have the least amount of caffeine, and most decaf is roasted as dark as it will go.
@@cBake0 oh wow thanks for the information. I just found out last week that indeed the decaf was even coming out “stronger” when using my electrical percolator then the normal coffee did.😃
The absolute best coffee I ever had was made on a campfire. It was set on a low part of the coals and we got called away for 30 minutes or so. It was at a low boil for most of that time. we settled the grounds anyway and it was as smooth as it could be. It also cleaned the tarnish off my old tin cup. One of our group got his warts cured and the old guy was able to stand up straight for the next 3 days after drinking it. Thank you for the story and recipe. It will be on the fire for our next lake weekend.
Your video popped up on TH-cam and I watched it because I’ve always wondered how the cowboys back when made their coffee. Now I know thanks to you video. I really enjoyed watching this. Now I have to find a good ole pot. I just subscribed. This video made my day! Keep them coming. I love it!!! 🤠 ☕️
Kent Rollins - When I was a kid, my great-uncle Demosthenes would often take me along when he pastured his flocks at the foothills of Mount Parnassus deep in the forested heartland of Doris in Central Greece. In the summer evenings he and the other shepherds would sit around their campfires chatting and drinking their aromatic fire-roasted coffee. They would pour a bit of cold water into the pot to settle the grounds exactly as with your cowboy coffee...I recently stumbled onto your excellent channel, and very much enjoy the great content and presentation - just subscribed. Wishing You & Yours A Very Happy 2022 from Greece! 🇺🇸🇬🇷
What a beautiful memory. It warms my heart how shepherds, cowboys, and hard working stockmen of all kinds, have things like this in common, the world over.
I just love me some Kent and Shannon. I have been making my coffee just this way only in a smaller pot since I was 16 yrs old. Now I am 69! Everyone that came to our house asked my parents to have ME make them a pot of coffee. I tried a drip thingie, but passed it on after the first pot. Pitiful. It takes a bit of time to get your coffee made, but it is so worth it. In the summer I make big amounts and keep it in a big mason jar with lid in the refrigerator and drink it iced during the day. A great way to cool down. Thanks guys...you're the best.
Both my grandmothers and their mothers used dry egg shells in the pot to remove the bitterness out. They also put large amounts of Jameson in their mugs too, so there is that....
Kent I have to really send my appreciation your way. This has produced the finest cup of coffee Ive had at home. I haven't used my usual single serve maker in over a week. Here is the recipe I use, it is fairly strong. 2 cups of water @200f 1/3 cup ground medium Folgers. Stir and and let sit for 2 mins then stir again and wait 2 more minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water to settle ground and cut strength. I brew this in a 1qt saucepan. For stronger brew (for those hard days) leave out the 1/2 cup at the end and strain through filter.
He's not even selling anything but he has me convinced to buy it.

Mr. Kent Rollins. I'm a 32 years old Brazilian. And I've been drinking coffee since my childhood. Brazil has one of the best coffees in the world, but the way we do it here is very different from your method.
The traditional Brazilian way of making coffee consists of pouring hot water (not boiling, but almost) over a mount of coffee grain in a paper filter. It's a very strong coffee and I love it. But I always had problems with my stomach hurting.
Well, after seeing your video I tried your method early this morning. Goddamn! The difference is notable. The coffee is way smoother. It doesn't taste too bitter and the acid is all gone. I'm definitely making coffee the cowboy way from now on.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sir.
I will tell you another way I have been doing for over 2 years is I put my coffee filter in than my coffee grounds I kind of like it a little stronger so it is more bitter.But once I got my coffee in the coffee filter I will make sure the coffee is even or flat all the way across than add about a half of a teaspoon of salt on the top of my coffee grounds.When my coffee gets done brewing it is smooth and not a bit bitter and have never not one time tasted the salt.I am telling you it works try it T least once and tell me I am wrong!!!!
thank you for writing something so nice. it was a pleasure to read.
hope you guys are doing okay in brazil.
I’m sure he knows that common method but okok
@@renangoncalvesflores I love cowboy coffee! It makes me think of childhood. I usually make coffee with the pour over method, but cowboy style requires less stuff.

About a year ago, I posted a comment about your delicious coffee. After that, I made some for mom and myself and she absolutely loved it as well. In fact, every time mom wanted coffee, I made her Cowboy Coffee. Mom passed away last December (1 day before my 57 birthday) and I cannot thank you enough for a cup of delicious coffee! God bless you, amigo!
I'm so sorry about your mother! I'm staring at pictures of mine it's all I have. I lost all my family at once. Which is none of your concern of course it's your mother that you're concerned about and how you feel. I never liked it when somebody answered somebody sorrows with their own like I just did. But I want you to know I know the feeling I'm not just saying I'm sorry. It sounds like you are close. I don't have any wise words for you because I'm not handling it well myself and it's been about three years but I lost everything at once mom and dad and family that I'm starting to remember good memories of but I have to remember why they're not my family anymore. I hope you have things that remind you of her and I hope that one day you can miss her but not hurt the way you do now. And when you have your birthday have a cup of coffee for your mom. Somehow I just know that Sean now you're thinking ever a little stronger at that time! Love to Mom's!
@@gomezaddams6470 that was so precious!
So sorry for your loss! I want to make it for my parents too. I just tried it today! I'm hooked

Sorry for your loss, Jorge. I know it's painful. Somehow you come to terms with it but you will always miss her.
My man breaking every rule of modern coffee making and making great coffee
What rule did he break? Seems like he just made a variation of ibrik coffee.
Im joking a little because you can make coffee anyway you want. And you’re right, very similar with Turkish coffee. But for example you would never let the coffee rolling boil for 4 minutes in the ibrik… you let it get close. But never boil… for 4 minutes!! “Modern” coffee you usually boil, let it come down in temp a little, and use that
But I laughed because it’s so in contrast with all the snobbery associated with 3rd wave brewing. “Seasoning” a coffee pot in that culture is definitely not a thing. Even with moca pots. It just make more bitter coffee. And then using a scoop to measure your coffee versus weighing it and using a coffee to water ratio according to grind size.
The careful use and measuring of heat… and ol Bertha is putting out “697,000 degrees.” And of course the sight of a Folgers can send you to coffee jail.
I just appreciate the contrast in this video versus like a James Hoffman video. But obviously this isn’t wrong in the least, it’s great
@@TheDocHelios I enjoyed both this video and your typical James Hoffman video. I heard some people call him a snob, but my experience with him is quite positive. He's not an elitist or a gatekeeper as far as I could tell.

It's just coffee. Calm down, sir.
I have never come across a Nation as yet, like the American People who show so much of passion when it come to their Coffee. This is what made me fall in love with Western Movies and the love for the great out doors. Salute to Kent and his Wife for an amazing series. Love from South Africa.

I am from the UK. And I drink a lot of coffee. Since I was about 8. I do not do tea! Unless it's herbal. Medicinal. I must of been acowboy in a previous life. I permanently have a coffee on the go. All day. At work. In summer. Winter. On holiday in the sun. Only other thing I drink. Is Jack Daniels! 😮
I love how your innocent comment has accidentally sparked an *”international coffee war”* in the responses. 😂
As an immigrant to the USA (from Mexico) I totally get what you mean about the coffee culture here.
You weren’t implying that the USA is the ONLY country that is “passionate” about coffee, or claim that it’s the BEST you will ever find!!
Simply that coffee is basically a National institution here-and because it’s such a massive country, with countless cultures all blended together…there is an endless supply of people who are excited to tell you about THEIR own special/unique/culture’s/family’s/etc. way of brewing coffee!!
There is such a uniquely beautiful passion about coffee here, unlike anything else I’ve experienced elsewhere. (I’d say the closest I’ve seen so far, was when I was working in Turkey. Everyone was excited to talk about their family’s own way of making the “perfect coffee”. ❤)
This man is a barista. He may not even know what an Espresso is, but that doesn’t matter: he’s got the passion for coffee and for quality, he won’t accept mediocrity, he’s got tremendous coffee knowledge, and he is passing it on to others, too. I am a barista in Europe, and I have respect and admiration for this man, and I’m trying to learn from him.

My grandma came from Finland in the early 1900’s and she made coffee pretty much the same way but she would add egg shells before settling the grounds with cold water. Beyond magical!
Wonder what that did, added “ calcium?
MY FAMILY TOO WE ARE SAMI 🥹🥹🥹
Hi cousin ❤❤❤
Yes I also wonder what the egg shells did @@ghq113
I looked it up on google and it says this, "The egg's purpose is twofold. First, the alkaline pH of the eggs and their shells balance out the acidic quality of coffee grounds and make for a smoother cup. Secondly, the protein in the eggs coagulate as the coffee boils and collect the free-floating grounds without the need for a coffee filter."
Oh
"You ain't never wanna run out of coffee". Truer words have never been spoken. 😁☕

I have tried making coffee all kinds of ways, from coffee maker, pour over , and French press.

Thanks David for watching
I grew up with an ice box. Here the ice man would come holding the ice with tongs over his shoulder and fill the box. My father would have to empty the water every day or so. Then we got a refrigerator wow what a difference.
Me too, Was always ice box then when I worked on a navy vessel it became a refer, but to me it will always be an ice box, want an interesting movie to watch that has some history in it made in the 50s “Come back little Sheba”
Ice box and lavatory to distinguish a kitchen sink from the bathroom sink.
That's right we had the "Ice box"too some time later in life my grand mother gave me the "ice tongs" for picking up a big block of ice back in the day, they had a "ice shaver" but the ice box it's self was wooden and the inside was waxed to hold moisture, a box at the bottom to catch the drip, my grand mother was raised somewhere in the mountains where there was a cave that kept ice, good old days long gone but not forgotten.
Greetings from Slovakia! We and our neighbours in Middle Europe know this method as brewing “Turkish Coffee”. We are used to brew just mugs and not a whole pot, but your recipe is great and I’d like to taste…
To brew a mug you give two teaspoons of milled coffee, pour boiling water and stir. The wait some two or three minutes and stir again. Now, you have to wait again that the grains sink down to the bottom and enjoy! I will check your advice with the cold water. Physically it makes sense that it sinks the grains much faster. Will let you know my result. Keep well!
I'm American, and I've always known it as Turkish coffee, too!

1/4 cup ground to 1 quart of water. Medium Roasted
pour coffee in warm water. boil for 4 minutes (or more if you want it stouter). Let it cool down for 1-2 minutes.
Pour some cold water on the inside walls of your pot and the spout to wash the grounds and settle them down.
You can store it and warm it up later. Just mind the grounds.

Mr. Rollins, I just watched this video. I can tell you, as a Navy Veteran, coffee is critical to the surface fleet. I used to come off of watch, before the mess decks even opened, and fresh coffee made, I used to grab a cup of the dregs of the pot after it had been on practically all night. That was my 20 mule team kick in the butt to get my day started. This video was the first time I noticed that you thanked the vets. Your thoughts are appreciated more than you know. Having seen you make coffee, I am now on a mission to find the right pot, and make it like you just did.

Great video. I have no freaking idea why so many people are HORRIFIED by the idea of reheating and/or microwaving coffee! It’s a perfectly hardy beast, and as long as you don’t overdo it, it refrigerates just fine, and does a real nice reheat in the microwave…
@TheOldBreed😊that's me after the first taste
This is the nice thing about cowboy coffee. You can easily reheat it because it’s already been boiled lol. If you made a V60 or something you better enjoy it on the spot or else reheating it might mess up the delicate flavors.
I have a whole pour-over kit with a scale, gooseneck kettle, and all that but I still enjoy cowboy coffee a lot. Probably because it’s very reminiscent of Arabic coffee where you boil the coffee the same except you’re just adding some extra spices and stuff.
I swear my left over coffee tastes better the next morning.
it’s cause everyone is thinking of bitter acidic coffee and that will taste nasty microwaved.
@Hypno_BPM cowboy coffee is extremely bitter and won't have hardly any acidity. On the other hand, speciality coffee with have a lot more acidity.

I took over a Cub Scout pack six years ago. My family campouts had up to 70 hungry mouths and I was trying to figure out how to provide coffee for 20-30 adults in the field. I ran across Kent's original Cowboy coffee videos back then. I subsequently set out and found one of those 3 gallon pots like he has at an antique shop. Let me say, THIS IS the most efficient, simple way to make coffee in the field and the ONLY way to make coffee for a large group. I usually made 2 batches and poured both in a Camco brand 5 gallon insulated beverage dispenser from the Army. All you Cubmasters out there, take it from me and adopt this system.

I learned how to make coffee this way from my uncle. Years later I learned to cut the bitterness even further, add some baking soda. Works every time. I also use the baking soda trick in my sweet tea. People don’t know what I do to it to make it taste so smooth (and they never wil😉).

Good coffee, thanks for your service
In South Africa we call this "boeretroos" which means farmer's comfort. Such a beautiful name to me. I actually had to stop midway through this video to go make myself a cuppa!
Smooth coffee it is
Awww! Love that name!
Nou praat jy
Or rancher's comfort? Ek gaan ook nou gou koffie maak.
in holland they used to say
een bakkie troost, a cup of comfort
I have such fond memories of Dad brewing coffee every morning and watching him add cold water. Thanks!!
We’ve been studying coffee for years, and it’s always amazing to see videos like this to bring us back to the simplistics. If you’re ever in San Diego Mr. Rollins, I’d love to make you a cup. And I’d love to try some of your cowboy coffee too ❤
thanks so much for the invite
Ok, Kent. I broke out my camp coffee pot, minus the percolator guts, and followed your cowboy coffee instructions. I honestly wasn't sure it would be as good as you said. You were right. It's an amazing cup without the bitterness or acidic bite. I made a half gallon. I'm drinking one cup now and putting the rest in the fridge. I want to try it cold. If that works, it'll be easier than cold brew. Thanks!
3:20 697,000 degrees, noted.......... OK just tried that and the whole grill and coffee pot melted down instantly.
Yeah I was kinda thinking that too 😂😂😂
that's just ignorant. There are black cowboys and cow hands. Just as there are Latino ones. And both are FOR a wall.
Donald Trump no
@@Borals please give it a rest
@Donald Trump spare us
I don't even drink coffee. But I grew up around ranchers in Colorado. I like listening to him talk.
This is the way I was taught to make camp coffee. It's great to see it in a video. Unfortunately not many people my age have been taught this , or even want to learn. Thank you for all of your advice, and recipes. You are a true role model!
Thanks so much for watching
I tried following the direction in this video and was very impressed with the results. The coffee came out so smooth. It takes a little longer than other methods but the taste is worth the time.
Kent, you have converted me! I had one cup of cowboy coffee this morning and it was so good I had to have another, but had to stop myself halfway through drinking it because I was getting too jittery. I even made decaf this way late at night, and it actually didn’t taste like decaf! Tasted just as strong as a regular cup with none of the caffeine. You were right, the acid gets boiled away and it is smooooooth as a Safeway chicken! My new staple for after dinner desserts! Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving!
Glad you enjoyed the coffee Tyler, We thank you for watching
Most decaf is actually loaded with caffeine. Sanka is a rare exception.
@@allenh7835 as a barista I have to say you're out of your mind. Got people with caffeine allergies that would have a serious reaction if that were the case. Caffeine is removed from the beans with an acetate washing process and then roasted to a dark level that removes even more. Dark roasts have the least amount of caffeine, and most decaf is roasted as dark as it will go.
@@cBake0 oh wow thanks for the information. I just found out last week that indeed the decaf was even coming out “stronger” when using my electrical percolator then the normal coffee did.😃
@@cBake0 most folks don't know that lighter roasts have more caffeine
The absolute best coffee I ever had was made on a campfire. It was set on a low part of the coals and we got called away for 30 minutes or so. It was at a low boil for most of that time. we settled the grounds anyway and it was as smooth as it could be. It also cleaned the tarnish off my old tin cup.
One of our group got his warts cured and the old guy was able to stand up straight for the next 3 days after drinking it.
Thank you for the story and recipe. It will be on the fire for our next lake weekend.
This is so wholesome. I sat so contently and watched the whole thing.
Your video popped up on TH-cam and I watched it because I’ve always wondered how the cowboys back when made their coffee. Now I know thanks to you video. I really enjoyed watching this. Now I have to find a good ole pot. I just subscribed. This video made my day! Keep them coming. I love it!!! 🤠 ☕️
RDR2 side mission: find ground coffee for Mr. Kent Rollins
"Hey John Demption, I need you to go get me some coffee grounds to make some of the smooooothest coffee you ever did try."
How about Red Dead Redemption: Present Day? Starring: Cowboy Kent Rollins! That's sounds like a good spin-off.
LMFAO
Top tip for left over coffee. Make it into ice cube and use in Baileys Irish cream 👌
Who has leftover coffee?
I've made pots just for coffee ice cubes
Get this guy a nobel price or some shit.
Kent Rollins - When I was a kid, my great-uncle Demosthenes would often take me along when he pastured his flocks at the foothills of Mount Parnassus deep in the forested heartland of Doris in Central Greece. In the summer evenings he and the other shepherds would sit around their campfires chatting and drinking their aromatic fire-roasted coffee. They would pour a bit of cold water into the pot to settle the grounds exactly as with your cowboy coffee...I recently stumbled onto your excellent channel, and very much enjoy the great content and presentation - just subscribed. Wishing You & Yours A Very Happy 2022 from Greece! 🇺🇸🇬🇷
What a beautiful memory. It warms my heart how shepherds, cowboys, and hard working stockmen of all kinds, have things like this in common, the world over.
Your uncle was named after a great Greek intellectual from antiquity? That's cool.
I just love me some Kent and Shannon. I have been making my coffee just this way only in a smaller pot since I was 16 yrs old. Now I am 69! Everyone that came to our house asked my parents to have ME make them a pot of coffee. I tried a drip thingie, but passed it on after the first pot. Pitiful. It takes a bit of time to get your coffee made, but it is so worth it. In the summer I make big amounts and keep it in a big mason jar with lid in the refrigerator and drink it iced during the day. A great way to cool down. Thanks guys...you're the best.
This guy is gold! I wanna have coffee with him and hear his stories
Me too
Me too!!!
he reminds me of an old timer i knew years ago. would love to sit with this gentleman round a fire drinking coffee and listening to his stories
Me too.
Both my grandmothers and their mothers used dry egg shells in the pot to remove the bitterness out. They also put large amounts of Jameson in their mugs too, so there is that....
Whiskey never hurts
😂
Ah, I see your grandmothers were women of culture as well
Cowboy Kent needs to be added to Red Dead Redemption 3.
Tell them to holler I'm all for it
I am a southern man, i understood every word.
If that was possible , he should call his coffee brewing supply the dead eye ... Which makes ya more accurate in shooting
Forget video games.
@@CowboyKentRollins 😂😂😂♥️
Kent I have to really send my appreciation your way. This has produced the finest cup of coffee Ive had at home. I haven't used my usual single serve maker in over a week. Here is the recipe I use, it is fairly strong.
2 cups of water @200f
1/3 cup ground medium Folgers.
Stir and and let sit for 2 mins then stir again and wait 2 more minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water to settle ground and cut strength. I brew this in a 1qt saucepan. For stronger brew (for those hard days) leave out the 1/2 cup at the end and strain through filter.
