Cowboy Coffee

Your grind might be too fine. Like Cowboy Coffee, a French press works best with a coarse grind.

Possibly. The nice thing, though? The way I'm doing it, is that fine or course, doesn't matter to the filter I'm using.

And I've never met a can or bag of coffee-- grind myself or pre-ground? That didn't have "coffee dust". Seems to be a by-product of grinding, which is pretty chaotic anyway.

My grinder, back when I was really into this stuff, was a metal conical burr machine. Still made coffee dust.

But I appreciate the suggestions. I am just not impressed with French Press.

You are probably not using enough ground coffee then! ;)

Makes sense. But I am going through coffee much faster than when I refilled my metal Keurig pod-thingy. ;)

I make up to the "8" mark on my pot, which nearly fills a 30 ounce vacuum flask. And I use about 1/3 a cup of grounds per batch.

I kinda shudder to think I need **more** for the same volume of liquid!

Which brings another issue-- my French Press doesn't make enough, and it's the "large" size from what was available at the time...

I ended up using it for loose teas instead-- in that regard, it's excellent. Still a righteous PITA to clean, though...

Try mixing some lighter roast beans with some darker roast beans before you grind them for a broader flavor profile then.

would it be in bad taste...?
to direct discussion what cowboy coffee does to your colon
 
see my thread...My Coffee is Sooooooo Stong

the misspelling stuck

as for cowboy coffee
one thermos of water as a measure
pour into sauce pan
ease the grind unto the surface
slowly bring to boil
reduce heat
when the grind sinks......it's done
about 10minutes
bojangles menu
using a tea ball (screen)
pour into thermos

the strength is how much grind you were able to float in the sauce pan
I see where a lot of you say you have Cowboy Coffee in the morning. Is this a certain way you brew coffee, a brand of coffee or a tobacco blend? I love a good cup of coffee in the morning when smoking my morning bowl. I admit at times I am slow and don't catch on.

Cowboy coffee is coffee made in a pot. I made it a few times back in university. And occasionally when camping. I found that it was actually really good. It's some hardcore coffee best suited for the morning. Don't drink too much as it can keep one strapped to a toilet. Fortunately, I learned that one Saturday when I didn't have to work or had no classes.
