| Open-Pot
Method is one of the oldest ways of making coffee and similar to
Turkish coffee in style and preparation. Soldiers and campers have made "Cowboy coffee" for centuries because you need only pot without special devices, filters, or tools. You must "boil" coffee with its grounds over an open flame. If you don't mind a cup with considerable amount of sediment, this is coffee brewing method for you. |

| There are
many recipes for cowboy coffee. But in general this is how you can make
coffee in an open pot: 1. Put 1-quart fresh water in an enamel or metal saucepan or coffeepot. 2. Boil over a high flame. 3. When the water is boiling, remove the pot from the flame 4 Add about ¾ cup of medium grinded coffee grounds directly into the water. 5. Stir only enough to ensure the grounds are completely saturated. 6. Return pot to the boil until the coffee starts to foam, stirring it before it foams over. 7. Then lower the heat to this slightest simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes. 8. Remove the pan or pot from the heat source and let it stand for three to four minutes to let the grounds settle. 9. Serve into cups with a ladle and enjoy. Some people are using a small metal mesh strainer to filter out gourds. |

Cowboy Coffee Tips: Tip: After you remove pot from the fire, pour in the half-cup of ice-cold water. This will not only reduce the scalding hot temperature of your coffee, but it will also send the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pan. Tip: You can add crushed eggshells or a raw egg in water before boiling. You don't eat this egg; these are thought to help separate the grounds from the coffee. Tip: The amount of coffee added largely depends upon the strength desired, the amount of water added to it, and the size of the vessel used. |

Good old-fashioned heavy-duty burr grinders like the originals from the 1800s are custom made by hand in Nacogdoches, Texas. The boxes are made from selected natural hardwood and protected with Williamsville Wax, an 18th century cabinetmakers' formula of beeswax, lemon oil and other natural oils. So, if you hate chemicals in your coffee and like a piece of history, this is the coffee grinder for you! You can even grind walnuts! Coffee just tastes, and smells better when you grind the beans by hand! (If you love the smell of fresh ground coffee, try grinding some coffee around a campfire!)
