A Damn Good Cup of Coffee with Joe Sowerby
“Double Haul Camp Coffee” AKA “Rotator Cuff Coffee”
Ingredients needed: A little cold water, a lot of centrifugal force, and a splash of faith.
Forget the eggshells, mule spit and all those other secret tricks that are said to settle the grounds in a pot of camp coffee! Get your calisthenics and caffeine at the same time.
1) Throw away that basket thing that comes with the coffee pot
2) Boil 2/3 full pot of fresh spring water
3) Remove from heat at least 30 seconds before adding coffee or you will have a boiling volcano of coffee grounds
4) Add twice as much ground coffee as you would at home.
5) Set pot half-on half-off the burner. The water will “roll” up one side and down the other creating the perfect brewing conditions.
6) Let brew for about five minutes and remove from heat
7) Swing pot by the handle up over your head (quickly) - Use the force, Luke….centrifugal!
8) Hat is recommended to minimize burning in the event of a malfunction, although a large brim will get in the way of swing path.
9) Let sit while you take a couple of Advil, and your shoulder will be ready to cast all day.
10) Grounds will completely settle to the bottom. Just don’t have the last cup.
11) Best enjoyed out of the tin cup you were drinking whiskey out of the night before.
