How to make cowboy coffee

As someone who has survived caffeine withdrawal, I can tell you that cowboy coffee is both a blessing and a potential curse. In a time when it’s never been better to be a coffee lover, with countless gadgets and handcrafted beans at your fingertips, there’s something charmingly rustic about making coffee like a frontiersman.

Of course, you can learn how to make a frappe in three easy steps, Or you can make a nutrient-dense coffee at home that’s so healthy it’ll practically negate your campfire habits. But out in the wild, where your barista is a campfire and your milk frother is a stick, cowboy coffee reigns supreme—for better or for worse.
