questions in depth the smoothest cup ever hello welcome to camp my name is kent rollins and we've got something good today is a beautiful day a great day for what

cowboy

coffee yes you heard me right now many of you might have found us a few years ago because of our cowboy coffee video that we had out there because it took off but let me tell you we're going to go deeper and answer some of your questions that all of you have sent. us and they asked us in past years.

I remember when I was a little boy. People made coffee in every way possible, boiling it in a can there by the creek, bowling in an old coffee can in a Brandon pen. Why was coffee used? always and there are coffee shops all over the world, I mean the old ones where you could walk in and sit and for 25 cents you could have a cup of coffee and talk and visit your neighbors, the best way to start the day, but as it went on Over time, things have changed. Yes they did it. There are things like Vintays great lattes.

I don't know what kind of coffee it is. I don't even have a clue, but coffee is coffee, but when you

make

it. the right way, friends, it will be the best cup of coffee in the world. Drinking this cowboy coffee has health benefits. I tell you it has them because I've had people come up to me and say, "Oh, I know, I'd really like to drink it." your coffee but I have acid reflux it gives me heartburn indigestion this not if you cook it the right way when you remove the bitterness that coffee is smooth I mean you can drink it you won't have problems with your stomach you no longer have heartburn or indigestion even you burp loudly in church because you drank the right kind of coffee now don't forget everything you need to know will be down there, but let's talk about some of these myths and things that people have tried to give this cowboy coffee a bad name, no listen to all those other people who tell you this product is too strong, it's too dark, it's too burnt because it's none of those things when you do it right, folks, it's a little cold out here, so let's head to the old Bertha and let's

make

ourselves some cowboy coffee.

Wow, but friends, you have to get them a coffee maker, but be sure. That coffee maker they give you is seasoned well and the channel will link you to a video where you can see how to season your coffee maker to get the best flavor out of it because it is like cast iron, you must take care of it. inside that pot and let me tell you something that you are never going to wash with soap and water, yes, you heard me right, it is like cast iron, but now I have made a lot of coffee, sometimes coffee for about three thousand people.

Once upon a time there would have been marijuana in the world making coffee boiling there, straining it, moving it back and forth, so don't be afraid to do it because like I tell the old timers and Brandon pens when they used to make coffee in a can metal, that's what we use to make coffee, hey, as good as gold, we have water all the way to the bottom of the spout right here and it's warm because you have to let the water get hot before you do anything else you can. Look, we poked Obertha's eye out and she's generating just the right amount of heat, which is 697,000 degrees.

Let's talk about the different types of coffee. Now I'm sure I have a coffee grinder that I used to have on a cart and grind them into beans in the morning and make coffee, for me it's a coarse grind as the coffee needs to boil longer than a finely ground coffee so Remember when you go back and forth about what coffee you like, use a medium roast here. So that's what we're going to use, but now you can use whatever you want for this big pot, it's about three handfuls, which is about one cup and three quarters to two cups, so we'll use that right there, the water.

It was warm we put it there now we have to sit and wait patiently for it to boil and I'm talking about it's not going to bubble, the benefit of the bubble is going to boil because when you let the coffee boil like I said, removing that bitterness that acid and everything is going to be right in the world now you may not have one of these big pots in your kitchen, but we've taken care of you because it's a quarter cup of ground coffee for one. liter of water and that way you can do it at home just for yourself or in one or two more we're going to wait for our birth to get this which was huge while we wait for old Bertha to do the work here.

We're going to answer some of the questions that Shan and I have been getting for quite some time and a lot of people are saying where do you get the big jackpots now, folks, that's one of those finder's fee deals. I'm going to charge you for telling them. what I'm telling you where you can get them, okay, occasionally, antique stores, junk stores, sometimes on eBay, you can find them there, but be careful if you go to an antique store and find one of those old coffee makers. Like grab it, take it outside, tell them you're not going to steal it, take it up and look at the sun, make sure it doesn't have any holes in there because you have to be very careful with a lot of these things.

They sat and rusted a little bit and then they put holes in them, so when you put holes in the bottom of them, if they're just small holes, you might think about trying to get them with some solder and fix them, but people usually when you're Sitting on a hot surface like this that's not going to last, I gotta tell you right now, look the pot never boils, remember that saying, but I guarantee you go away and get to work, Bertha will boil it if she gets the chance, like this that I'm like a pointer dog, oh Frank, I'm going to watch for the first boil to start there, aha, Bertha is doing her best to get it into a good container.

There's a lot going on here and Friends, it won't be long until things really come to a head. That's when you have to be careful, especially if you're in the house, because that might want to overflow, so when it gets to that point. where you can see him just fixing the bull lower that fire in the house a little so that it doesn't overflow because don't you reduce that level of water in that pot a little again so let's leave it continue here until it slips away and really rolls , I'm talking about whisking, that's what makes good coffee, it's what we call rolling, rolling, now we'll let it sit there and roll while it's there.

If it's here trying to overflow, we can leave it right there, if it was trying to overflow a little bit, I'd take it out of that hot spot over there and let it slow down a little bit, now we're not going to burn this coffee. We're not going to burn it, but I like to let it sit for about four minutes just to let it roll up and boil right there, until everything breaks down until it's silky smooth, or do you remember I told you about Safeway chicken, what is it? softer? than a Safeway chicken, well Safeway was a grocery store there in some parts of the country and I have never seen a plucked chicken so soft and shiny, I think they waxed them every day because the chickens shine like a silver dollar in the butt of a goat. that's softer than a chicken from Safeway, so do it, it's been about four minutes already, so let me cover this hot spot and let's put it back here on the warm side of old Bertha, where she can just sit there and take care of her Now It's my own business, I like to let it cool there for just a minute and then we'll do the rest to it, but the longer you boil the coffee, the stronger it will become at some point, make sure you get the desired concentration when you like to drink coffee, You'll know by the time it boils how much coffee you want to put in the pot if you like it a little stronger, but these methods have never failed me and have served thousands of cowboys in the beginning. in the morning, in the middle of the day and late at night, well, he said it's two minutes and we're going to drink about a full cup of cold water.

I'm going to pour a little through the spout around the edges, so be patient. I see those little holes right there where they reach that spout, now any of those grounds get trapped in there, so you pour it back through the spout and look who's joined us for cowboy coffee, it's the bee, so you I want to make sure I pour a little bit down the spout and then a little bit around the edges. Now, in the smaller coffee makers, a lot of times the grounds get caught on the sides and they hang out here, so I can take one of these little paper towels, what you call, you dip them in a little bit of water and you just make a little circle around there and a lot of times the grounds stick right to them and voila, look, it's like magic, you might be saying.

How did you weaken your coffee? Well, we don't weaken it folks, we have to put cold water in there to settle the soil. The cold forces reach the bottom. That's when people used to say: you just crack an egg and put it in there. all the grounds go to the bottom I don't like my eggs in my coffee people say well, you used to put a horseshoe in there and make it work no, no, traditional cowboy coffee has always had a little cold water put in the spout all the time. ground settled at the bottom, the mildest coffee in the world, I guarantee it reminds you of people like one of those machines that spit out dripping coffee in the house, where it just gives you here and there, from time to time, the water temperature is not It's not hot enough to bathe now, when people don't put enough cold water in this coffee to settle the grounds, you see grounds floating all over the top and you can see that it's actually gone accumulating over the years.

Don't take more than about two weeks sitting in Obertha or a campfire to get rid of that soot. If you want to keep yours clean, just use a rag with any kind of cheap vegetable oil, rub it on the bottom and all over just give it a small light coat. That thing will clean up very easily when you're done, especially if you're cooking with wood over an open fire which is an aerobic work pot. You gather a bunch of them and you lift them here like this all day. I'll be working out now, that's a lot of coffee and it will feed the cowboys on any kind of morning and most of the time they'll be 12-15 at camp, they'll always make two pots of coffee, this one will always pass, but I always have another one for if anything a backup because you never want to run out of coffee, so let's talk about if you make a lot of this at home and sometimes you don't know quite what you're going to do with it.

I'll pour it into a glass jar, anything in the world and you can put it in a cooler, tilt that pot up there and start pouring now when you get pretty close to the bottom of the pot, especially if it's one. For smaller pots, maybe you should do it from the beginning, just get yourself one of those strainers or put a coffee filter in there or whatever and pour it in there that way you won't have any chance of getting dirt in there. that coffee when you reheat it the next day, you can microwave it the next morning if you need to or just pour it back into a saucepan and heat it up if you want to store it for an extended period of time in a fridge. just make sure you have a good seal on that lid and that the coffee will last 4-5 days in there so you can get to the first week, just heat it up after that.

Now I served this coffee and I love you. all to see as it comes out and tell me, have you seen any sediment floating there? I haven't seen any and we even got to the bottom of the cup so that's it guys I want to tell you what this coffee is. what it has done for me, this coffee has made me thousands and thousands of friends and people that I call family, like all of you, who watch our videos, coffee is something that we always have in the car, the first thing that turns on every morning and it's the last thing they do there every night because I never know when someone is going to walk into a camp like this and say "hey cookie, you have a cup of coffee" and there's nothing better for me than seeing People just sit down during the morning and have a cup. of coffee when they arrive at camp and it's time to visit, it's time to reflect on what maybe will happen during the day, but it all starts with that good cup of coffee, but on those old cold days I can remember when I had to cut ice in a barrel of water to make coffee because it's completely frozen the cowboys crowd around old bertha they take a cup of coffee in their hands and you can see them shaking like that old bertha and that good coffee defrosts it, it did its The work is getting a little windy and cloudy here at camp so I'll come back here with Bertha and warm up here in a minute, but thank you so much for stopping by me and Shannon the beagle, never take looking for granted. our videos and we thank our veterans and all our service men and women for keeping that old flag flying high on that wagon and the freedom we have in this great country that we can do what we love, like, share and subscribe, and if you have a neighbor and he doesn't subscribe, go ring the doorbell, he'll let you down and say, hey, do you watch that Kent Rollins cowboy guy on YouTube?

Should you promise him that he will help you and bring him some coffee? That's right, God bless you.one and all and we'll meet by the fire and having some cowboy coffee sometime Bertha and the coffee maker need to have a little pep talk, you can do it, you can do it. Well, it's a little breezy here in the camp and I think I'm going to meet up with old Bertha again, but we hope you learned something today. There's something there too. Well, that was really good. I was going somewhere. Thank you very much for stopping by me.

Shannon the beagle never take it for granted watch our videos and there will be a little link on what we linked to um.
