I know, they said so in the rabbit hole, too.It shouldn't be brought to a full boil, each time. Also, the fineness of the grind, and the shape of the cezve (coffee pot) are supposed to aid the formation of foam.
I'm firmly in the instant camp (sic) while on the trail.What's your setup, routine and what coffee do you use on trail?

I know you jest but the animal cruelty involved in 'farming' that famous coffee is horribleAs I've said before, if the beans have not passed through the intestine of a small mammal they're not worth bothering with...
What do they charge for a coffee in a Turkish cafe?I'm firmly in the instant camp (sic) while on the trail.
Interesting, but it reads more like an advertorial to me, citing lots of brands, products and related marketing copy but not telling very much about the coffee you get out of these products. The bit about cowboy coffee is behind a paywall, they probably couldn't get any brand to sponsor that. A few strong statements thrown in at the beginning to catch the readers attention. Sugar or no sugar, wouldn't want to lock that down, unless you only ever drink the same one type of coffee all your life.Old article, recent update:

Aurthor knows his stuff:

That reminds me of the old maxim; "if you can learn to enjoy black coffee, you'll never be disappointed in life."“Adding sugar to coffee is criminal”

They sell it at Base Camp Food now or did you get it there?I tried the coffee in a tube stuff so you don't have to... and wasted a few £s in the process (but if I'd discovered how much I dislike the stuff on trail I would have been distraught).
I have had two cups; I know that I prefer fruitier/less dark coffee more than dark roast - but this is very bitter/dark, and the descriptions I've read about it not being very sweet - well, I guess it depends on your taste buds, but this was very sweet to my taste, and very dark, tobacco like... so if anyone wants the rest of the tube let me know...
I got it from Base Camp, very quick service as usual. Shame it is now in the bin!!They sell it at Base Camp Food now or did you get it there?
