Coffee percolator

Just don't try serving that to someone without letting them know it's instant coffee

Man I miss the old comedy, can't watch anything from today's bunch.

Good way to avoid all this fancy type stuff , it's simple and it's not bad.

I like the coffee just not chewing the grounds left in the bottom of the pot

I have to be honest , I am far from being a rocket scientist, but I can drink it all down till there is nothing left in the bottom but sludge and I may get a loose grain or two in the cup ... but that's about it.
I use about 14 oz of cold water to a pot and make sure I get around the inside of the pot and let it stand a minute or so after.
I have to pour slowly when near the bottom of the pot .....but that's about it.

Ok I'm going to try it, no promises though.

My name is Bryan and I like instant coffee, if I'm honest it reminds me of the coffee packets that came in the C-rations, anyone remember saving the coffee, creamer, sugar and hot chocolate packets? Put them in your canteen cup in hot water and guard duty was a breeze if you didn't over do it and get the trots.

One of the few I have not tried, we were in key west this summer and I had cuban coffee for the 1st time. Been thinking about getting a moka and trying to make some ever since then.

That and a giant spoonful of sweetened condensed milk.

Thanks I'll give it a try, one of the many things I miss about the keys

I remember that coffee and the "creamer". Yech !
Did your c-rations came with cigarettes? Ours did.

I remember those little tins of peanut butter. You'd have to stir it all up because the oil had separated from the peanut.

I missed the cigarettes, I was in from 81 to 84, yeah the peanut butter and crackers was a treat. Thanks for your service they started fazing out the c rats in 82 if I remember correctly.

Well, if we are going to back up a bit…

but more modern times (after Grenada) 2 slices of shelf stable bread and a more ham slice. Now that was some good eating!

Instant coffee? Get thee behind me Satan

There's some incredible instant coffee out there. Unfortunately, it costs as much as an orange mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks HQ in Seattle, but it does exist. I'll try to remember to bring some with me.

I'm a fan of the moka pot coffee. I pull actual shots at work, but there's something about the little moka pot that I really like...

I now have the sudden urge for a gasoline fight.

It's usually what I do after I pick up my kids from the Eric Zoolander school for children who can't read good. While we sip orange mocha frappuchino's

I don't think I saw the movie but sounds like fun

It's all fun and games until you're the eugooglizer for your male model friends who died in a freak gasoline fight accident.

Seattle brings back bad memories, my wife and I dropped a DNA Sequencer off the lift gate at a clinic in downtown Seattle, cost over 200,000 dollars. Surprisingly the customer refused delivery so we had to pick up every piece and return it to the shipper in San Diego for insurance claim, my deductible was 3000, rough weekend for sure. FedEx wasn't real happy

Aeropress for me when it comes to making coffee, simple, functional and I can take it with me guaranteeing a decent cup of coffee.

 

[Cubtestdummy]

Along with the tools I received today this turned up and with reading materials.

It packs into itself and is about the size of a soda can, a very fat soda can but still.

Now all I need is the Hunter Cub to arrive so I can "press" it into use in anger so to speak. No pun intended.

I'm still trying to perfect my Cowboy Coffee but I believe that's going to be my route going forward. No fancy machines, filters, etc. Just a pot, coffee grounds, & water and you can make it over a campfire. I never usually get any grounds in the coffee. You can pour cold water in after making and all the grounds settle to the bottom. Then just be careful when pouring, don't pour the pot too aggressively. I like how boiling the coffee takes the acidity out of it. Some coffee makers the water doesn't get hot enough and you get that heartburn feeling afterwards. I have a GSI personal java press/french press that does a good job. Not too bulky. Also came across some descent instant coffee packets ~ Alpine Start. Not the cheapest but they have a few variations. My problem is I still need creamer in my coffee and I'm partial to WaWa french vanilla creamer. For all of you who have never heard of that (PA/NJ area) you haven't lived till you've had some. It's the nectar of the gods. So I usually fill a flask or some other container with the creamer since I like my creamer with coffee.
