One of the best recipes to keep in your back pocket to jumpstart the day? Easy cowboy coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Cowboy coffee can be made over the campfire or camp stove with just water and coffee grounds. You&#8217;ll need a pot for boiling water, but there&#8217;s no coffee filter required with this simple method. Read: Less things to pack! We share just how to make cowboy coffee during your next outdoor adventure.<\/p>\n<h2>What is cowboy coffee?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2092065\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cowboy-Coffee_TOHD24_279134_MollyAllen_10_KSedit.jpg\" alt=\"Cowboy coffee made outdoors over wood fire\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Molly Allen for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cowboy coffee is similar to the coffee you have at home in a coffee maker. The difference between cowboy coffee and regular coffee is that cowboy coffee is made without a filter; you just stir the coffee into boiling water, then pour carefully (our recipe has techniques to ensure a grit-free cup). It&#8217;s a bit richer and smoother, but the flavor is the same.<\/p>\n<p>Cowboy coffee is meant to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/casserole-camping-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/casserole-camping-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">camping recipe<\/a> made over the campfire using just a few simple tools. Thanks to its simplicity, it allowed cowboys to prep coffee over an open fire much equipment. To make cowboy coffee, you&#8217;ll need an enamelware or metal coffee pot with a spout, but it doesn&#8217;t need to have a built-in filter. In a pinch, you can just use a regular round pot.<\/p>\n<h2>Cowboy Coffee Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> As with any coffee preparation, water is the base liquid in this cowboy coffee recipe. We&#8217;re using 32 ounces of water here, but you can certainly adjust to whatever size pot you have, or to how much coffee you need to make.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coffee grounds:<\/strong> Choose any type of ground coffee, whether it&#8217;s your favorite morning go-to or something new. You could even use flavored coffee.

When camping, this could be in a kettle over a campfire or in a pot over a camp stove. You can also use this recipe in your own home kitchen if you don&#8217;t have a coffee maker.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is my cowboy coffee bitter?<\/h3>\n<p>Coffee becomes bitter when it reaches too high a temperature or is overextracted. If you&#8217;re finding your cowboy coffee bitter, it&#8217;s likely either because the water was too hot when you added the grounds, or because the coffee brewed for too long.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you need to add eggs to cowboy coffee?<\/h3>\n<p>Some folks add eggshells to cowboy coffee to help the grounds sink, but eggs are certainly not required when making cowboy coffee. You can whip up a batch with just coffee grounds and water. However, a dish of scrambled eggs and toast would make a great accompaniment for breakfast.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep cowboy coffee grounds from getting into your cup?<\/h3>\n<p>The beauty of cowboy coffee is that you don&#8217;t need a lot of equipment to prep your morning brew. Because there&#8217;s no filter, the key to keeping grounds out of your cup is sprinkling the brewed coffee with a bit of cold water on top. This helps the coffee grounds sink in the warm pot. Pouring your coffee slowly into your mug will also help keep the grounds at the bottom of the pot and out of your mug.<\/p>\n<h3>When should you serve cowboy coffee?<\/h3>\n<p>As with any other coffee, cowboy coffee is best served hot and fresh. Pour it into mugs immediately once the coffee is ready. Enjoy it black, or add milk or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-your-own-coffee-creamer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-your-own-coffee-creamer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coffee creamer<\/a>. You could even brew decaf cowboy coffee and add a coffee liqueur like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-kahlua\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-kahlua\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-kahlua\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-kahlua\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-kahlua\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-kahlua\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Kahlua<\/a>\u00a0for a warming drink in the evening.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with cowboy coffee?<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing beats breakfast cooked around the campfire.
