- Tracing the roots of things we enjoy back through history is one of the best ways to learn. Jon experiences the history of coffee in this video by roasting coffee in the most primitive way, over an open fire.

can he sell green coffee? i'd love to roast my own. I heard coffee in america sucks because most companies roast their coffee in large batches months before it reaches the consumer, which results in a stale and bitter taste.
@@THCMusicBlog I'd buy green coffee, at least once to have fun roasting it!
Do not drink newly roasted coffee. Wait two days or longer. Taste continues to develop.
Thanks! Just ordered some morning thunder!
@@THCMusicBlog Nah. Sure you have store brands who may do that - but all over the US there are little coffee roaster businesses who import green coffee beans and roast them for sale in a short time span. They may do ultra-sustainable or single origin, small producer, or even their own blends. Arguably we probably have better access to things like Jamaican Blue Mountain beans than Europeans just because there's less distance to get to America vs Europe and thus the beans will be that much "fresher".
This channel has been on a roll with these recent
I like these, but I prefer the longer documentary type videos. Channels like this have me leaving cable behind. 😊
I agree that Townsend's have hit the nail on the head with their mix of shorts, vignettes (as you call them) and longer videos. All superb in their way, but together a really easy way to get into the channel and what it stands for.
This channel has been on a roll for years
I think the channel is at its peak right now. They've got a great team and a niche channel. Production quality is fantastic. I'm certainly enjoying it.
I prefer these shorter ones as I don't have all day to sit round watching super long documentary style vids
The editing, the film making, the music. Top notch content over here, great job everyone!!
Yeah, that tucked me in and stroked my hair. That was something special.
Trueee
I dunno, the scripts feel rushed for a modern audience now where as I used to mander through my day with them. New vibe, but that's okay I guess. All the old recipes and videos are still there.
This is getting even more professional. I'm impressed
Nothing, Zero
All our livestock must go with us, too; not a hoof can be left behind. We must choose our sacrifices for the LORD our God from among these animals. And we won’t know how we are to worship the LORD until we get there
-Exodus 10:26
The hail was hard to face. Pharaoh was cracking. After God sent a plague that brought disease upon the Egyptians’ livestock, the boils followed, afflicting all the Egyptians and their animals. Still, Pharoah refused to let the Israelites go.
So God sent hail, the seventh plague, which not only killed people and animals, but it also destroyed the plants. In fact, the Bible says, “it left all of Egypt in ruins”
(Exodus 9:25)
Even Pharaoh’s magicians weren’t able to intervene at this point. They could no longer imitate the miracles, and they were so overpowered by the boils, they were immobilized (see Exodus 9:11)
Eventually, Pharaoh brought in Moses and Aaron and said, “Go and worship the Lord your God. But who exactly will be going with you?”
(Exodus 10:8)
Moses told him, “We will all go young and old, our sons and daughters, and our flocks and herds” (verse 9). In other words, they were taking everyone.
Then Pharaoh attempted a compromise. He said they could go, but the women and children needed to stay behind. But Moses refused.
After two more plagues, the hard-hearted Pharaoh tried one more compromise: “ ‘Go and worship the Lord,’ he said. ‘But leave your flocks and herds here. You may even take your little ones with you’ ” (verse 24)
He was fighting for every inch. Why would Pharaoh care about their animals? It was a victory, albeit a small one, and a foot in the door.
Imagine how tempting this would have been for Moses. He could have said, “You want our animals? And then you will let the rest of us go? It’s a deal.”
Instead, Moses told him, “All our livestock must go with us, too; not a hoof can be left behind” (verse 26)
In other words, “Pharaoh, read my lips: You get nothing, zip, zero. You don’t get an inch. We’re taking everyone and everything, and we’re leaving, whether you like it or not.”
As Christians, that is what we need to say when the devil tempts us to compromise. He whispers, “All right, I can’t have all of your life, so let me have this one area. It won’t go any further.”
Like Moses, we need to say, “No, you get nothing.”
Little things lead to big things. That’s why we can’t make deals with the devil. We can’t negotiate with Satan. There can be no compromise. If you are not prepared to go far away from him, then you’re never going to make it, because he will manipulate you. It’s time to break free.
Is there an area of your life that you need to deal with? It is a problem and a potential weakness. God brings these things to our attention for a reason. It isn’t to drive us away in despair and guilt. Rather, it’s because He wants us to deal with them.
Identify that area of your life where you’re compromising, and then take action. Make a decision to dedicate it to God.
"Wow, that's way better than I thought it would be" is pretty much the motto of this channel.
And it’s always surprising 😄
Jon, try a bit of orange peel in your coffee, or cinnamon or cardamom (individually or together.) Or, of course, nutmeg*
*haven’t finished watching the video, you might have done already!
I've heard it said that our scent receptors have the strongest connection to mental recall. Today I was sitting outside to enjoy the sunshine when I smelled on the breeze just the faintest aroma of coffee brewing at a neighbors, and it immediately took me back to when I was a kid. I lived In New Orleans East near the plant where Folgers Coffee is roasted, and, oh, the whole neighborhood smelled heavenly every day so that it became part of the comforting sense of home. Oddly, I've never come to enjoy drinking coffee but the scent of it still amazes me.
I live near MAXWELL HOUSE and if the wind blows just across the river I can smell it roasting and it's such relaxing and heavenly scent like you mention. I absolutely love it
I'm not a huge coffee drinker either, I drink iced coffee once in awhile, but I would love to live by a coffee factory! 😊 I bet that smells absolutely incredible
Too bad Folgers coffee sucks
@@kittkattkiddy That's my mom's favorite brand of instant coffee. She just loves her instant coffee poured over with boiling milk. And I also gotta say, it's quite tasty 😙👌
@@shawnalynn5198 Yeah, it's amazing.
Every time we visited the Netherlands to go on vacation, coming from Germany, then we always drove past a big coffee rostery, and the smell was just amazing in the whole area there.
The history of coffee is so fascinating. Can't wait to have that cup in the morning. And I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.
That's the truth!
Same here
lol thats how alcoholics speak 😅
@@SobeCrunkMonster Lmao...true! I've have a history of alcoholism, not severe, but definitely bad and trying to quit. Been sober since January 18th and no desire to go back so far.
Ryan is a sweetheart. I bet he gives great bear hugs
I WANT ONE
@@zacharypotvin6579 Me too
are you calling him ghey?
I think he's married, back off girlfriend!! Lol
My grandmother always started the day with a fresh pot of coffee. I thought it was the most wonderful smell in the world. When I was little, I asked her if I could try a taste, she agreed, and gave me a small cup. I thought it was the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted, but I pretended to like it to not disappoint her. She could see my grimace, laughed, and got me some milk and honey. I thought it tasted much better then.
That was a long time ago, and I learned to love and appreciate the flavor and simplicity of plain black coffee. But everytime I brew a cup of coffee after waking up, I'm transported back to that time.
That's a great memory.😊
My mom told me her grandfather would give her a couple of sugar cubes soaked in coffee when she would visit. So they could enjoy their coffee together.
Yea, every time we visited my grandmother of my mother's side, there was always this nice smell of freshly brewed coffee right when we arrived at her house, but she never give me black coffee, she gave me coffee with milk and sugar, so I appreciated coffee right from the beginning on, when I was like 6 or 7 years old, probably even younger😅
Thanks for keeping this history alive guys, 18th century life is so fascinating
What about ancient life?
@@CountingDracula Por que no los dos?
I agree
@@mauer594 ye I would tbh both is good
Because this is a channel about the 18th century.
Otherwise, sure other eras are interesting, too.
I would love to see James Hoffmann react to this kind of coffee making.
Me too! It would be fun to see
During the “They always used to roast it dark” bit I heard James’ voice telling me about the acidity of light vs dark. Glad to see there’s others out there watching the same channels!
He would be appalled lol
@@LoneWooff Yeah, the VERY uneven roast and the fact that it seemed to me that he didn't remove the chaff before putting the beans in his grinder. It seems he knows VERY little about coffee for someone who has bought a coffee company.
@@PJV1990 Yep!
I sincerely hope you have tremendous success with your new business, Ryan!
I picked up a bag of the Cuban blend. I like it a lot.

"I don't drink coffee, I drink tea." We got ourselves a Loyalist here!!!
Oliver Pluff & Company have the best 18th Century/period correct teas!!!!
The evolution of the filmmaking and cinematography of this channel, over the years, is really something you folks should pat yourselves on the back for. I'm just a cinephile and a bookworm, but it's been fantastic following along on this journey.
As someone who's done home coffee roasting for years, I felt a little pain seeing how dark some of that roast got, but I appreciate you're working with pretty crude tools and recreating the 1700s coffee.
Awesome video, really loved it !
How do you roast? I’d like to try.
i’m a barista, and i love making drinks but sometimes i feel like i’m not doing enough in life. this reminded me how important coffee can be & helped me appreciate what i do :)
Congrats on your coffee roasting business Ryan! I love roasting my own beans but what you’re doing is a huge undertaking!
I've home roasted coffee for many years with nothing more than a dedicated enamel pot, a wire whisk, and a portable propane stove. Truely nothing better than freshly roasted coffee. I gotta admit, the boiling grounds and water together (cowboy coffee style) really gives you the best of the best in coffee flavor. Kudos to a great video.
This video made me want coffee more than any coffee commercial I have seen in my life ☕️.
The production quality on these videos just keep getting better and better.
I appreciate your videos for allowing me to briefly escape to the simple lifestyle of the past. Thank you !
Hilarious calling it simple life...cause the life style was definitely not simple
@@Gunslinger_Disciple glad i made your day !
Fun episode ! Good luck Ryan with your coffee company
Enjoyed the episode, congrats Ryan and best of luck with your coffee business! Maybe you can offer wood roasted by hand coffee in small batches?
Your channel always makes me want to cook meals over an open fire. It seems so cozy, just going somewhere remote. Renting a cabin in the woods and just doing that for a week with a gf. Probably great, no phones or technology for a week.
Yeah....would be nice but the price of the gear they sell and lack of storage and places for me to keep it in my small house, as a single dad keep me from doing this...that and my autistic son would have nothing to do with it without his electronics. I'd love to live back in those times....after getting over my Internet addiction and seeing how far gone society is with the addiction now that they can be paid by the internet
No joke man
What gf?
I love seeing the tavern in action! Thank you.
If you drink tea your a Tory!
I make myself some cowboy coffee every day before work and sometime after I wake up and shower in the mornings when I'm off. To see this episode and understand the preparation it took back when to enjoy coffee, before it was readily available duebto piece fluctuations, Makes me appreciate it even more! You all at Townsends just make my day with all of your superb content!!!!! By the way, those dark, near black, roasted beans looked AMAZING!!!!!!
Always look forward to your videos!
Well done,Ryan and Jon! This was super fun! ☺️☕️

love learning things like this! i've heard of how coffee was made in the mid to late 19th century, but not the 18th when it actually started to kick off. once again, a lovely video!
and, now, i want coffee 😅
Love your icon! :)
@@inkredibill6352 Daria is a mood; one i am more and more inclined to remain in lol
I really enjoy your channel guys loving the passion and well presented shows. This is what CZcams was made for
I was at an Ethiopian restaurant when they did a coffee ceremony and roasted the beans fresh like this. It was for another table but they offered us some. One of the best smells ever and some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Seeing this brought back memories!
Jon in previous videos: "I hate coffee." Jon now: "When I get up in the morning the world just isn't right. I need my morning cup."
I was wondering that too!! Is this just for the sake of the video? His dislike seemed pretty potent in the coffee egg video.
Folgers: Who else is going to sleep with your sister if it isn't you.®
As he said late in the video, he doesn't drink modern coffee. But fresh roasted and ground, he likes this.
I don't drink coffee everyday, but similar to wine, beer, and tea, I love the culture we have around coffee. I love the taste of it, whether black, sweetened, or with cream or any mixture in between. I love it flavored or plain. I like dark, medium, or light. Everything about it to me is an experience. I would drink it if it didn't have caffeine because I just the bracing warmth and bitterness (or sweetness). It just feels cozy. I watched a lot of Survivorman growing up (and still watch his CZcams channel). One thing he always said was that in a survival situation, he always wants something really cold and something really hot. It just makes you feel more human.
Been watching Townsends for years but the quality of these videos has just gone wild now. So professional looking. Glad to see they've done well they deserve it.
grats on opening a coffee business, big guy , best of luck
Yet another skill Ryan can showcase! The Townsends team is certainly lucky to have him!!
I was expecting a ye olde ad for Folgers in the first few seconds. “The best part of waking up …” 😁 A fascinating video and great for reference!
You guys are definetely great at creating a cozy environment for a good cup of coffee!
I had to write and let you know how happy I was to find out a coworker watches your channel and content as well. You really do provide great videos that are entertaining, informative and comforting.
As a sailor (on submarines), I can attest to the power of good coffee. Nothing warms the soul more than a hot cup during a cold watch topside, or with after a meal sitting on the mess decks with a fellow off going watch stander just shooting the bull. It really is more than a drink. It's a social experience. To sit and enjoy a cup with someone is kind of personal. When someone invites you to share a cup, its asking you to let your guard down and simply enjoy it. Maybe I'm over complicating it.
I can only imagine being stuck underwater and not really knowing what time it is, but smelling breakfast cooking and coffee in the pot must be a good time indicator, and a strong cup of coffee after a what? 16 hour shift I'm assuming you work, must be nice.
Edit: I'd like to thank you for your service
I have roasted coffee in an enameled pan over an open fire, dark like you did, and ground it in a cast iron pot with a maple stick. I have boiled coffee, but much prefer pulling the pot off the fire just as the water boils and adding the coffee to the pot off the fire. I prefer my coffee black, but without a bitter aftertaste. I'll generally use about an ounce of coffee for 20 Ounces of water. It's just better when you do everything by hand.
Another great episode gentlemen. I only wish you were able to capture that look on Jon's face as he took his 1st sip.
Good luck with your coffee company Ryan! As an avid coffee drinker I will definitely Offer you patronage! Just purchased 2 bags to try it out and am looking forward to it!
Wait did my favorite US American history channel just crossover into my beloved world of speciality coffee? My life just got that bit more amazing.
One of the the most curious things to me about historical coffee is even the species of coffee used were different in the 17th and 18th century to what we use now. Coffee has undergone a lot of selective breeding in the passing centuries so the Coffea Arabica that was grown in Yemen and Java then are pretty different to what we grow in those regions now. And in Africa, there are a large variety of wild species that were grown and sold such as Coffea eugenioides, Coffea stenophylla, Coffea liberica, and Coffea affinis. You can even see the spread of those species due to colonial powers attempting to cultivate them: for example with Spain introducing Coffea liberica in the Philippines and Coffea eugenoides to Columbia.
My grandmother had a very old pan made of iron it had a cover and a blade inside with a handle she put it over the burner and would turn the paddle…the beans were green and then they toasted. What a great memory…thanks for this episode. During the war when coffee was sparse and expensive she would toast dried chick peas and then ground them up as she would coffee didn’t quite taste the same but it was what is was.
This has to be one of my favorite segments involving Ryan. He was very succinct and passionate about the subject, while being confident about his verbal delivery. Good form gentlemen!
OK. I am buying a coffee roasting kit this weekend!!!!!!! Fire roasted coffee sounds delicious!!!
This channel is honestly so underrated, your team's dedication to providing quality content is truly inspiring. I wish these videos would get more views or recognition. I have just recently subscribed when I found this gem of a channel. Your videos are not only entertaining but also incredibly informative and engaging. The style and music of the videos are also incredibly comforting and bring out a unique aspect. Thank you guys for leaving your footprints on the internet.
Growing up I'm watching my mother harvesting the ripest coffee berries from one tree in our backyard, removed the skin, dried the seeds, separated the shell from the beans, roasted and ground it. She always have the dried beans ready to roast anytime for the whole year, She passed away 18 years ago when I was 19, the tree still growing tall in our backyard only birds and squirrels sometimes luwak enjoying the berries now, it's a bitter sweet memories
Congratulations Ryan! This was an awesome episode. Love learning while being entertained!
This was both informative and relaxing. Thank you for that, it's just what I needed today.
Roasting coffee is a fun hobbie of mine.I used cast iron pans and barrel style rotating roasters. Love the episode. Cheers
Townsend's channel, still the very best on the platform
Awesome upload, love the coffee from the store! The new cinematic shots looks so good, and the tavern setting like we're there talking to Jon is so immersive! Great job everyone keep up the fantastic work!
Great video love watching this so much keep up the good work!!!
I loved the music, aesthetic, and camera shots that showed the process. I also enjoyed Ryan's explaining of the history behind the coffee. The entire presentation was fantastic and overall made for an enjoyable, interesting, and relaxing educational piece. Love what you guys do, please continue to provide content like this!
Not only you share your knowledge earned over the years of full dedication, but you also do it in an admirably gentle and captivating way! Thank you💜
I bet that Coffee tasted even better because you made it all along the way its the work and love going into it what makes a good cup
Really enjoyed this episode! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for posting these. I've loved your videos for years now. You guys never fail to make these wonderful glimpses into history that also give us inspiration and courage for right now. Thank you.
Another brilliant episode! Thank you
I have been watching for several years now. This is one of my favorite episodes, right up there with the cabin and canoe episodes, the poverty episodes, and the trips to Mount Vernon and other historic sites. Great work John and Ryan!
Really loved the filming style in this! You guys are my favorite.❤
Y’all are some of the best content makers on CZcams! Least on the education side. Thank you for all your incredible work in editing, research, presentation, professionalism, and education.
Lovely and informative video, as always!
Guys,
The quality of your videos and content has been steadily increasing with each year. I am so pleased as a viewer in Central Canada that you have such rich and informative content available. Well done, my friends!
I love this channel so much. So cozy!
John, I love your videos, I've been watching for years. I've been watching since just before your channel first exploded in popularity. This is such an excellent, high quality video, words of praise could not do it justice. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do. Preserving early American history and presenting in such a relatable way. I love coffee, too, and I think this has been my favorite amongst a plethora of excellent Townsends videos.
You are such an endearing person and your videos are so heartwarming. I wish nothing but the best for you and this wonderful channel❤
As ALWAYS, great video guys!
I really love watching this channel. You guys are just marvelous.
Another amazing show. fellas! Your videos are my psychological safe space- I enjoy kicking back and relaxing while watching on of your interesting videos after a hard day at work.
Love the cozy vibe - keep it up!
I Never drank coffee until I Served in The Military! I got Hooked! After words I was the person at 7-11 around midnight looking for the Syrup Left on on the Heater! Cowboy Coffee Vs Military Coffee! We Want Ours Over the Top Caffeinated But Dark and Thick! If The Spoon Stands Upright? Perfect! I Have a coffee mug THAT has not been washed in Ten years! Been rinsed out but, Not Washed! I Am Not a Coffee Connoisseur but, I Like it Direct and to the Point! Thank You for Sharing This Video
Wonderful edition here. I really love all your episodes. You truly bring this time period back to life🙂.
This channel is just the best. Keep it up Townsends!
Still have a few bags to go through this month but when they're done I'll definitely be picking up some coffee! Glad to support the channel and Ryan doing something cool.
Cool never thought I'd be interested in coffee over a campfire
So happy you guys hit the number of subscribers you did on here! I go to comment(my part in helping as always) and there's a bunch already commented. Truly happy for yall, my guys!
Another awesome video. Should be getting millions of views. Amazing work!
Just on what you were initially saying about the importance of coffee houses in the 17th century. It's worth remembering that Lloyds of London (the maritime insurance firm) and the Lloyds register / list both originated from Lloyd's Coffee House, which was frequented by sailors, merchants and shipowners, and the place became the go-to location for reliable shipping news, critical in the 17th century.
As a microbiologist, I tell my kids I run on science and coffee
Thank you for this amazing video. As a coffee lover, this was magical and truly special to watch.
Watched my grandmother roast coffee in a cast iron skillet on a wood stove and grind it then boil it. She always added a small bit of butter in hers and I loved it.
I did some schooling in food chemistry. As a fellow tea drinker I might make the following recommendations. Lighter roasts are substantially better than really ANY dark roast. I myself suspect that in the era of green coffee distribution, I suspect that everyone roasted their coffee to their own taste. I doubt that everyone actually roasted coffee to the dark “French Roast”consistency that is de rigueur today. The second recommendation I would make is to prepare the coffee in a French press. Coffees in their natural state have a somewhat nutty flavor but in that state they may tend to be slightly gummy and I suspect that industrial level manufacturing might have considered this a defect but the flavor is substantially better if you select a lighter roast and at no point allow the coffee grounds to boil.
I recently went to Oxford and visited the sites of the coffee shops which claim to be the oldest in England (opened 1652). While they are clearly modernly decorated it was still inspiring to learn the history and think of how coffee shops were initially founded and as your video covers became hotbeds for new thinking and movements. Great video keep them coming!
I absolutely despise coffee but man I would love to join you two in front of that fire with a cup, looks so relaxing.
Thank you for another great episode.
Loved this subject! Coffee is one of my favorite things. 😋 Good luck to you Ryan on your new business! Wishing you great success.
What a fantastic video. Thank you!!
I love your videos! They so warm and so cozy. I just feel tavern when watching videos from this channel, I am inside tavern 😊
Love your posts ... thank you... interesting and informative.
Jon and Ryan Thanks for the amazing video and keep up the great work! 😉
Congratulations on the acquisition and wishing you the best of luck in the new business!
I love this channel, it's so comfy
This video was amazing and if cant waint to try to make it all myself thank you guys again for another great video
I'm a bit late to these videos, but then, again, as far from 18yh Century as anyone can be, but there's something just...powerful...behind this channel. It's the narrative, it's the music, it's the story behind what we take nowadays for granted. For now, i'm craving some coffee and I must admit, this one managed to give a warm smile in my face as I actually stumbled upon this video on a cold winter afternoon.
I’ve been enjoying this page and learning a lot just wanted to say thank you from Dennis from Boston
I just want to take a second and say that I really really appreciate the channel. Today in society, alot of people take things for granted...aka, we are kind of spoiled. I grew up with the teachings that showed you that you should be thankful for what you have. And I think this channel reminds people of just that. Plus I love geeking out and learning the history of things lol. While I drink my black instant coffee, I'm thinking on getting some coffee cherry seeds and cooking some up myself. Why? ..... Why not!
I just love this channel so much😄
