Live the Life of a Civil War Soldier when You Drink your Mornin' Coffee


Live the Life of a Civil War Soldier
When you Drink your Mornin Coffee

by Paula McCoach
The Coffee Customer Spoiler

Civil War soldiers, Confederate and Union, used to make their coffee in pots. But on the march, they just used their boilers. Remember: dont boil coffee. Confederates and Union soldiers had a little bit of coffee, chewin tabaccie, and that was it. Moreover, Confederates usually had tobacco, and Union troops had the coffee. When the troops would cross paths during the war, they would trade coffee for tobacco and vice versa. Soldiers would take their hardtack biscuits and soak it in coffee and get some fat and put it in a frying pan and fry a crust on the hardtack like chickenreal nutritious diet.


Civil War soldiers drank from large tin cups. Hot liquid filled all the way up in a tin cup will burn yer lips. Soldiers needed at least an inch or two at the top. So they would only fill it two-thirds full and let it cool a little so they could tolerate it. Dont drink from old tin cups that you might find in an antique store. They have lead solder. Buy a reproduction of one at a Civil War reenactment or from a Sutler who advertises in some of the military history magazines. Coffee boilers are large tin cups with a handle on them. Some of them even have lids on them. They hold 22-24 ozs. of liquid. They look like a cup that is a coffee pot.


Drinkin from an antique cup definitely enhances the coffee drinkin experience. The vibes of all the people who have gone before have left their energy and spirit in the fiber of the cup. Antique tin and enamel cups can be found in antique stores Enamel cups are not as hot as a tin cup, but it has that nostaaaalgic cup quality. I like drinkin from antique cups because I like that antiqueness of it.

Enamel cups can be found in antique stores. They range in price from five dollars to thirty dollars. Rare ones are those that are a unique color like brown or gray. Most enamel cups are white with a blue, green or red trim or just plain white. Blue is a common color also. Enamel cups are not as old as tin cups, but they have been being made for about fifty to sixty years. Enamel cups have been around since World War I and are still being reproduced today in a variety of colors. A reproduction of an enamel cup can be acquired for about five dollars.

Everyone needs to have his or her own identity when drinking coffee. Cat people have cat cups, etc. you need just the right cup for drinkin coffee. A decent coffee cup size should be in the 12 16 oz. region because a small cup does not quite get it. It needs to be bigger.

. How you drink it is up to you. Be sure you have good quality Arabica beans and that the water is at just the right temperature. Coffee should never touch boilin water.

If you want to buy coffee for less, you could join a warehouse club and buy a case of the same old coffee you buy at the supermarket.  You’ll get a discount ranging from a few pennies to several cents per can.  You could buy cheap, store-brand coffee and hope that when you get it home and brew it that you’ll actually be able to drink it.  Or you could switch to a slightly cheaper name brand than the one you typically drink, and hope you like it. You can forget about buying specialty coffees or
