Have ever wondered how to brew a good pot of joe? Here are a couple of examples that may make you want to get up earlier, just to enjoy that fine cup of coffee.

1.  When brewing a pot of coffee experts recommend two tablespoons of coffee for each six ounces of water. The coffee is best when brewed with filtered water and sipped immediately. Some say the coffee may be poured into a thermos and kept no longer than forty-five minutes for the best flavor, while others recommend cowboy coffee or campfire coffee as being the best brew.

2.  There are no special pots or gadget to use when brewing cowboy coffee. Start with cold water in a can or enameled pot and add one tablespoon of ground coffee for every cup of water. Bring the water to a boil and remove it from the heat, adding a splash of cold water to settle the coffee grounds. Let the coffee stand for a couple of minutes and enjoy the rich flavorful brew.

Being a coffee connoisseur goes back for centuries. People have enjoyed coffee for almost as long as creative baskets have been around. In the Book of Exodus baby Moses was placed in a basket of rough bulrushes coated in pitch and floated down the Nile River by his mother.

In today’s world, we weave baskets, mass manufacture baskets, and utilize creative baskets for giving food gifts to friends and neighbors. Gourmet coffee gift baskets are one way to stay in touch with history, even if the word ‘gourmet’ was not in our vocabulary years ago.

Your friends can enjoy a cup of joe while remembering about the fun times they have had with you. They will enjoy being enticed by a sip of the morning brew in gourmet coffee gift baskets, while munching on their delicious treats. This is one way to let your friends know they are going to have great day, even if it is a little crazy.
