Creator Notes
My mother made coffee in a Pyrex coffee pot after which later in an electrical percolator. If the coffee pot broke or later if energy went out she would compose “cowboy” coffee – coffee grounds boiled in a pot ,in explain to gain her fix. I private accomplished the identical, pre-generator days. So after I cooked the beans for this chili, I did them “cowboy” vogue by including finely ground coffee beans to the water and pintos. —inpatskitchen
