Cowpoke Coffee

[RobertN]

This is how my Grandmother used to make coffee. Most times she used Folgers, sometimes MJB. I do not know how she packed as much ground coffee in those big commercial percolators, but she did! They drank this round the clock; my Grandfather would stay up all night drinking coffee and talking on HAM radio. I snipped the recipe from my family recipe file.

Cowpoke Coffee

1 Extra-Large commercial size canister Folgers coffee

Fill large 20-24 cup percolator with water. In coffee basket, add as much Folgers coffee as the basket will hold. Then add a little more. Allow coffee to percolate and stay hot for hours

Pour cup of coffee. Stir with metal spoon; if spoon does not melt or soften, you did not use enough coffee.

- My memories of Grandma and Grandpa, was they could drink this stuff 24 hours a day. This stuff makes Starbucks French roast look like plain water Straight espresso is wimpy in comparison May be good for removing paint, ect

From the kitchen of Anna. This is Grandma痴 classic recipe

They HAD to stay awake back when riding horses. Just think what all you could break by falling asleep and falling off your horse. :thumbsdown:

Reminds me of this: Cowboy Coffee: How to Make the Best Cup of Coffee - YouTube

My wife and I just switched to percolator coffee makers after using a drip for years. The coffee is so much smoother and better tasting! And Hot! I'll probably never use a drip ever again.

That would almost take chrome off trailer ball.
Older loggers around here would put needles from hemlock tree make coffee little more bitter.

I like my coffee like I like my women:



Really hot and all over my crotch while I'm driving.

Had a paper cup collapse when I was driving and I did not enjoy it.
That recipe almost sounds like chemical warfare, I shudder just thinking about it, tearing the hair off your chest from the inside.
