Looks good. Part of the purpose of camping is slowing down and taking it easy what’s a matter if it takes you 30 minutes or an hour to make a good cup of coffee. That’s half the point
Check out Cowboy Kent Rollins Cowboy Coffee. Excellent and almost identical. Great vid. I've been making my coffee at home this way for about 2 years now and wont go back
I enjoyed your video. I make cowboy coffee almost every day. I learned mine from Kent Rollins a cowboy cook I found on TH-cam. I make mine in the house and use my Pathfinder metal cup. I take my drinking cup, fill with cold water and pour into the pathfinder cup, then back pour a small amount into my drinking cup. I put a scoop of coffee in the pathfinder cup and put it on the stove burner and wait for the boil. like you said it foams up then dies down, just need to watch it so it doesn't overflow. I boil mine for 2 minutes and have had no bitterness. After it is done I pour my drinking cup water back into the pathfinder cup from about a foot above the cup. I then put the pathfinder lid back on the pathfinder cup. I like this lid as there are about 7 holes to pour liquid from. I then pour my coffee into my drinking cup and as the pour is spread over the lip with the 7 holes I can see when grounds are beginning to come out. I stop there and clean the cup out hardly any coffee liquid left. Good tasting coffee no bitterness or upset stomach. This is almost exactly like you showed so I can have good coffee and not wait to go to the woods for one. love that pathfinder cup and lid, use it both indoors and outdoors. looking forward to your next video.
I do love my coffee but have never made it that way. I am just purchasing all of my gear so I can start bushcrafting so this was a wonderful tip thanks a million.
I will keep my Mr. Coffee maker. It can be somewhat of a pain in the ass to drag 15 or 20 miles of extension cord to make the damn thing work, but hey, perfect coffee every time. Then every once in a while you get that smart arse that unplugs it and you have to walk all the way back and plug it in.
@@wesleymarkmusic403 wtf? Plug it in, but take your solar panel along. When you get back, brag on the great coffee on your trip. That'll mess with them for sure!
Congratulations. You have discovered Cowboy coffee. It is good, isn't it. I have enjoyed this method from time to time for years now. I don't drop the cold water in, just pour it in and around from the top. Does the same job. The cold goes to the bottom pulling the grinds down. Glad to see you spreading the word. I'm enjoying your vids. You have some goods ideas Sir.
Thats awesome! Totally going to try this. I think it was Paul Kirtley who I saw doing a sort of lifting, then lowering action of the pot to get the grinds to stay on the bottom. This is just another method in my arsenal, thanks!
GREAT DEMO! You did an awesome job of capturing the vital steps in close up so I don’t gave any questions about what to do, or how it’s supposed to look, or when I’m supposed to do what. Awesome job!
That's pretty much how people made coffee for ever till we got the new fangled percolator. At least that's how my grandparents did it on the wood stove in the 1800's. There are a few other tricks to the tradecraft of good coffee if you look around. You can pump the pot. Use egg shells. Use a bandanna. Make a coffee bag. I was taught a bunch back when I was a young'in, as Grandpa called me.
Interesting approach. We use a version in Maine called guides coffee. Done in a camp coffee pot, top of spout needs to be even with top of pot . Put pot on to boil. Put coffee and one whole egg, shell and all into a bowl or zip lock bag mash egg and thoroughly mix with coffee grounds. The egg will solidify and hold the grounds. Boil until you are happy with the flavor or desired strength.
It's about 98 deg. here right now and I'm drinking coffee so you know I'm a fan. Can't wait to try it this way next time out. Thanks for sharing with us.
Nice one mate...well explained and filmed. Actually nothing knew as the Arabs/Turks and Greeks have been doing it this way for as long as coffee has been enjoyed.....that is not a detraction from your video... just an observation! If you like your coffee a bit sweeter just add sugar at the start and the boil will dissolve it and it will be ready to drink
Yep, Turkish coffee comes straight to mind (Ottoman empire days spreading it in parts of Europe, eg Serbian coffee), and many other countries between there and middle east perfected it to a T. The coffee is finer than expresso, the boiling vessel specific, serving is top notch. Its an experience. Bushcraft coffee, and cowboy coffee, by comparison is rough and ready: caffeine in the wild with minimal fuss :) . I get it, and sure I'll make any way I can!
The first time I saw this 'recipe' was from Mors Kochanski. Can't but work well if the 'barista' pays attention. Main danger is burning the coffee. In many ways the recipe is opposite to cowboy coffee method I've seen. Cowboy coffee has less of a risk of coffee over brewing since grounds are added after water is off the boil for 30 seconds, just making sure its not left brewing too long.. Brewing then starts between a few rounds of a couple of minutes wait and stirring. Always remember it as it was where I learned to quickly settling the grounds by adding cold water after the brew process is over. Both methods there to be enjoyed.
I've been cooking my camp coffee this way for years. You described my same method almost exactly. I never understood why anyone would do anything different.
I tried this at home on the stove. It tastes noticeably better than what the French press and coffee machine makes, though I don't know if the element gets as hot as a flame so it might not be as good as with an open fire. Definitely something I'm going to try on my next camping trip.
It’s fun to get back to some early vids! It’s still good content but you really improved your editing over the years. Still in the woods and staying there
Coffee is such a personal thing. I don't believe there is a right way. I had a friend years ago who roasted dandelion roots and that's all he would take on our camping trips. I have no issues with carrying a melitta funnel and filters with me. Some things are worth the very miniscule weight. Great video, and your coffee looks good, too. Pay no attention to the chuckleheads.
I saw this technique a few years back explaining how Yukon gold miners made coffee - the drip/drop was called "pedling" peddle otherwise. Good presentation.
Nice technique. I'll have to give it a go. Another good/convenient way to get less bitter and stronger coffee is to go the trendy route and make yourself some cold brew. Fill up that cup with water and the coffee grinds before you go to sleep. Leave it sit till morning and you have yourself some yuppie cold brew. All it needs then is a quick reheat if you like your coffee hot, or if its in the middle of summer you can just drink it cold. Shame its so hard to make bushcraft ice cubes. Best part about it is that you don't have to fiddle around much making your coffee before you have HAD coffee haha.
I get you with your water but you don't need to waste OR lower the temp of your coffee... Just take your pot and like do a horse stance or something like that and "use gravity" take your pot and slowly give it a push down like if you're trying to push ketchup down the bottle but more delicate and keeping your pot steady so it doesn't spill everywhere... Thats the way I do and all the grain goes to the bottom and I never have any problemes with grain in my Kuksa
This video came up in my suggested watching. Man you've upped your production/video skills... lol. PS the video was already "liked" by me, old school follower from the Townsen days
Very informative video. I always carry instant coffee, and powdered creamer. BUT..... there may come a day where instant is not available. And believe me, you do not want to meet me if I am going through caffeine withdrawal.
This is a great video - I remember my grandfather telling me about how to do this when i was young. Although it's a bit more expensive, I just bring a stack of the starbucks instant packs...I'm fairly lazy about it. hah.
Dude, try Alpine Start's instant coffee. You can even get it on Amazon. It tastes like a regular brew and it's affordable. I've tried them all and definitely prefer Alpine Start's over Starbucks Via.
@@alexpaulk9364 since my last post, I've started using Black Rifle Coffee Company's instant packs. So much better than Starbucks. I will go check the one you mention though. At worst, it'll be a good alternative for when BRCC is out of stock
I know I'm late, but just a note. IF you are using a regular type coffee pot with a spout, pour the cold water in the spout. "keep the faith people, and keep on keeping on"
My grandaddy used to make coffee like this when we would go camping he would use an old metal folgers coffee can that was pre seasoned from years of making coffie in it
Excellent presentation on coffee making in the bush. Cowboy coffee is another example of an immersion method that has been around for years. French press, Aero press are all off shoots of this ageless process.
There's a lady from Turkey that taught me how to drop coffee get it hot bowling and then you drop it left it up drop it lift up drop it was in your hand the grounds are go to the bottom
I carry a small reusable filter that’s about 2 inches tall and1.5 inches wide that’s made of nylon. It collapses and it’s easy to pour through straight into your cup
One of my co workers told me that a friend of his used to put coffee grinds in a paper filter and just stick it in his mouth to stay awake. I guess it worked but I never did try it.
When I was in the army we would take the freezes dried coffee and a single square of the toilet paper that come in the mres, pour the coffee onto the paper , roll it up and put it in like dip aka chewing tobacco
Who taught you how to make a fire? That's a unique way that I use and only a few others. Most people make a career out of it.....when really...its that simple.
Just stir your pot of grounds and it will create a vortex and pull all the grounds to the bottom. You don't need to take target practice with your water bottle.
Mad respect for you man... but a good cup of coffee? Oh no. I percolate mine for an hour. Check it with the "spoon" test. As far as grounds in it... well that's the prize at the bottom. :)
Coffee became popular in the United States when they had the Boston Tea party because the Crown highly tax the Colonist Tea, so after that lots of Colonists started using Coffee in Protesst. Excellent Channel Thank You.
Hey Dan, love your coffee video. I'm a truck driver and I try some bushcraft skills when I'm on the road, but I still can't get the bitterness out of my coffee. Also could you show how to make pine needle tea, thank you.
love this. I have a stove top espresso pot I use, but nice to know your alternatives should your main system fail. all I need now is a way to grow my own beans lol. no folks, sadly we can't grow beans in America, but it would be nice. shit is getting expensive. nice video though. will have to remember this.
Looks good. Part of the purpose of camping is slowing down and taking it easy what’s a matter if it takes you 30 minutes or an hour to make a good cup of coffee. That’s half the point
Bill k. Some people never go into the woods yet know everything about the woods. It's unreal. Thanks for following my vids
They know everything, because they watched all your videos...
Thanks
Check out Cowboy Kent Rollins Cowboy Coffee. Excellent and almost identical. Great vid. I've been making my coffee at home this way for about 2 years now and wont go back
I buy coffee beans and coarse grind them and I use a screen type tea ball to hold the grounds. Perfect coffee every time.

Just read through the comments and couldn't help noticing the same hater from all the knife videos knows everything about coffee too...
Funny how that happens.
Chuckleheads, What can you say? You just look at them and shake your head and chuckle
I AM a coffee drinker and grinds have always been a problem. THANKS DAN!! Definitely gonna utilize this tip!!!

Mors is a legend in bushcraft.
He passed away just last year and will be sorely missed.
Just found this channel. I wanted to thank you for your content, tips, I benefit a lot watching your channel.

Great way to make coffee at home as well. Thanks Dan.
I do it the lazy way. A cup, collapsing silicone funnel and a filter. Lol
Coffee is important. Thanks for the informative video, I will try it next time I'm camping!
That’s a super cool 😎 tip 👏👏😃👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 thank you!
same as cowboy coffee
That’s what we call it also. Good stuff!
I grew up calling it Hobo Coffee. My dad made it that way whenever we went hunting.

I learned a new trick today! I have always perked my coffee, but I am now anxious to try this method. I love my coffee when I am camping or otherwise.
I've been cooking my camp coffee this way for years. You described my same method almost exactly. I never understood why anyone would do anything different.
Just tried it with a Pathfinder bushpot and a Coleman 533.
It works! That was a good cup (or two) of coffee. Thanks for posting!!👍
I tried this at home on the stove. It tastes noticeably better than what the French press and coffee machine makes, though I don't know if the element gets as hot as a flame so it might not be as good as with an open fire. Definitely something I'm going to try on my next camping trip.
Heck of a idea !! Love my coffee don't yah know !!!
Ah, so this is where the bush barista started.
It's great to see you teach this. I knew the technique as Cowboy Coffee.
now that puts the craft in brushcraft👏 wizard like!

Great video thanks Dan. I will be working on this method during the PA muzzleloader season soon.
Nothing beats a cup of coffee out on the prairie on a cool fall morning
You can also add some egg shells. That will also pull the grounds to the bottom. Great videos, keep them coming.
I saw this technique a few years back explaining how Yukon gold miners made coffee - the drip/drop was called "pedling" peddle otherwise. Good presentation.
Good video. In Kansas we call this cowboy coffee :-)

It's what we call "cowboy coffee" here in New Mexico.
exactly how we did it in the Army but on a much larger scale with 55-gallon drums in about 20 lb of coffee
Holy shit. Rad
Soooo, you REALLY like coffe- do ya!?🤔👍✝️🇱🇷
I was taught to put a stick across the top of the pot to keep it from boiling over..great vid
I love your toque!
The grinds will actually settle naturally. Thanks for sharing.

"keep the faith people, and keep on keeping on"
Adding the cold water through the spout is now I do it, but I'm intrigued by the "bombing" the coffee from a few feet up. Gonna give that a try.

Hey Dan, Love your video's, this is AKA "Cowboy Coffee" as well.
I've done this before, but have only used a couple drops of cold water. This is called Cowboy Coffee. ;-) Thumb up.
A very similar process to Turkish coffee. Looks delicious, cant wait to try this method.
I enjoyed your video! I do it the Mors way also, works best in my opinion. Thanks
Great video. Very similar to the 'cowboy coffee' I make on my trips :)

I carry a small reusable filter that’s about 2 inches tall and1.5 inches wide that’s made of nylon. It collapses and it’s easy to pour through straight into your cup

excellent video thx the only video i saw doing coffee the same way is cowboy kent rollins
I make this at home on the stove...delightful
Watched a few of your videos now. Great content! Got a new subscriber. :)
wow, cool idea.
Is the coffee you used, from a bag, like you would fix in a coffee pot at home?
Excellent
Coffee looks good good job and keep up the hard work
Almost like Kent Rollins cowboy coffee
Skip the fire and water and just use the ground coffee for dip / chaw !
Did you get muted? I don’t hear any sounds.
great job, Dan! ATB -Michael
Now thats a cup a coffee, thanks Bill I'll be trying next video up Camp Whitesmith.
cowboy coffee is the best coffee right on CC

Great video
This obviously wasn't how Chester made coffee for Marshal Dillon!!!
well done sur
That's awesome!! I am going to try it. can this be adapted for a stove top, or a propane stockpot burner?
It can. Just anything to get the water boiling. I've made coffee on the stove top and it turned out fine.
Is it the same principal with different size pot - cover the top of the water with grounds and add a bit?
