Moer koffie

**Antlion** · 22-08-2019, 08:09

Guys I have read about "moer koffie" in hunting stories . Tell me more, is it as simple as brewing ground coffee in an enamel pot and throwing condensed milk? Is there more to it than that?

"Moer koffie" is simply ground coffee that's boiled. The addition of condensed milk is optional. If you're feeling adventurous around the camp fire at night, add brandy. Then you really have, well, "moer" koffie.

Moerkoffie would be the noun. Moer koffie would be an action.

Louis L'Amour wrote that coffee only gets good on the third day. Throwing out the dregs too often wasn't the thing to do. I tried it out: simply adding the ground coffee to the mix. The taste really changes.

This is how I make it generally.

The moer in moerkoffie refers to the ground coffee beans.

I now want to try moerkoffie, condensed milk, with a shot of brandy.

*********************
name comes from the action, yes I agree - in those days after 6 months trekking, rationing your coffee, if some one touched your coffee it instantly became moer coffee.
Moercoffee is what it was before some one touched your coffee.

I heard a rumour several years ago that sticking a smouldering stick into the coffee pot would make the floating coffee grounds sink to the bottom. I have cloth bag that the grounds go in, so have never had the oppertunity to try this. Can anyone confirm the thruth of this?
