A little spicy, a little smooth: even the toughest cowboy has a soft side! And this is the coffee to match: Tough as Nails dark blend, roasted fresh-to-order from Middlefork Roasters. This rugged, spicy cup is a blend of Guatemalan and Sumatran beans, for a big, rich, chocolate-syrupy body with a clean finish of black pepper spice. All the flavor of a classic dark, with Middlefork’s signature rich, nutty body. Giddyup! It’s one smooth ride.
There’s a romantic aspect to “cowboy coffee” from the Wild West. Coffee became popular in the U.S. during the Civil War: soldiers were banned from drinking whiskey, and a piping hot cup of coffee became the spirit-lifting drink of choice. After the war, veterans brought their love of coffee to the frontier, where they’d buy unroasted beans from the general store and hand-roast their own coffee in a skillet. According to cowboy tradition, the test of ideal coffee strength was whether it would “float a horseshoe”.
Middlefork’s Tough as Nails blend is dark and rich enough to please the most discerning cowboy (or cowgirl), no horseshoe required. Reserve a bag of our favorite spicy dark roast and forget the sunset—with this coffee in hand, you’ll be galloping off into the sunrise.
