If you like Starbucks coffee, you need to BURN your beans. They do.

There's a micro-roaster just down the road from the shop, and when the wind's right, it smells like something's big-time on fire!

After a great deal of deliberation I placed an order for this 24 cup size copper coffee pot  
from Backwoods Tin.  At $99.75  I sure hope it doesn't leak!

Nice.  I'm sure you'll get long use out of it, and if there are any issues, I'm sure it can be re-tinned.
Regards, sse

I'd have to say that the HC answer is to use whatever pot/camp kettle you have for boiling water and use that.  The concept of having a dedicated coffee pot as a Mountain Man would have to be reserved for camp keepers in a Brigade.

The last few rendezvous I've attended, it seems that I was assigned the role of ""camp keeper".  If that means "chief cook and bottle washer".  :lol:

Well, I guess I might be the village idiot here.....But when in the
woods hunting and such,I always have a mouthful of coffee beans in
my mouth. Chew,spit etc.

The army started putting little chocolate covered coffee beans in some MRE packages and they are awesome!! I love eating them things. Don't know how PC it is though.

I hope to have it broken in before the South Western rendezvous.  You are welcome to sit and have a cup.

Any plain tin or thin iron coated with tin would make a good "universal" pot for coffee or cooking or a number of uses as I recall, it is just a matter of finding a style of pot that fits your time/place. The plain tin pot/pan is likley more common than the other styles/materials. It has been years since I did any real research on the RMFT peruiod stuff but I think this advise still holds up.

There was a package at my door when I came home today!  The coffee pot looks good and I am brewing a pot right now.
