Kokkaffe (boiled coffee) VS Kokekaffee (steeped coffee)
Traditionally made by adding coffee to cold water and allowing to boil over a fire. Often a piece of salted reindeer meat was added for flavour and nutrients
When it’s prepared on a hike, it’s called Turkaffe, meaning hiking coffee
The ritual often includes allowing coffee to boil up, remove and allow to settle, then repeat two or more times
Amount of coffee has been described as “enough to allow a lemming to run across without getting it’s feet wet”
Modern or current version involves use of a special kettle (Tias). Popular in Norwegian restaurants where it is prepared at the table. Includes competitions for the best recipe
Kokekaffee is often associated with Swedish “Fika” a legislated coffee break that includes sweet edible and chat with friends
Recipe
70gr coffee per litre of water
Optional salt or dried reindeer meat or salty coffee cheese
Directions
Bring water to a boil
Take off heat
Add coffee and stir
Let sit for 4 minutes
Optionally add salt or dried reindeer meat
Pour and enjoy

Good fun to see how much effort you put into researching how to make kokekaffe. You picked up some good tips. Never heard about the salted dried reindeer meat thing before so now I learned something new too.
I steep the coffee too and even let the water cool down a bit before adding the coffee to the water. Some let it boil but I think that’s just making the coffee more astringent. Then after steeping for about four minutes I break the crust, scoop off the bitter tasting foam and let it sit for a few more minutes until the ground has settled. That’s the modernised method of kokekaffe.
Enjoying your videos a lot here in Norway. Keep’em coming 😊
Glad you enjoyed the video. I also prefer the modern version. Thanks for commenting
The Canadian coffee beans on the trail gave me a good laugh. lol That ball of branches is witches broom. It can be caused by a few different things but is a mutation in the vegetative cells. Thanks for sharing your coffee in the bush. :) :) P.S.The blanket was a wonderful gift, very nice to have.
Right on Jacky. First to pick up on the witches broom and the coffee beans. I love the blanket. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I have also seen witches broom on honeysuckle bushes, caused by a virus.
Kokkaffe is something you did before we had coffemachines and filters. The term kokkaffe is swedish and in norwegian it is kokekaffe. We share a long border between us and we share many traditions together. Kokkaffe typically have a rougher grind than filter coffee. You should add the cog already in the water and let it boil up, then put it down and let it sink down and cool down a bit. Then you give the coffee another quick boil. You can put a the top of a pine twig where you pour the coffee out and you will get less coffee particles in your cup and get a bit of forest taste as well. Old Swedish trick. Personally I prefer a french coffee press.
I appreciate the information. It is pretty much what I said in the video. Thanks for commenting
Blanket Is Worth The Price ! Meal & Coffee Mmm Mmm. Great Video Shared Again Mark ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks for commenting Terry
Now there's a wonderful blanket...very cool indeed!
It is a great blanket for sure. Thanks for commenting
Where I live we also make a coffee called café de pota, and it is literally what that Norwegian word means to Norwegians and there is also a tradition of adding a piece of wood inside, although here what is used is charcoal from the burning wood that is left inside, this gives it a smoky aroma
Interesting idea. I will have to try that. Thanks for commenting
I really like that blanket. I'd like to purchase one. It's been 26 years, since I last drank coffee. I've never heard of coffee made that way. This was awesome. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦
So many ways of making coffee. Thanks for commenting
One of your more "unusual" videos, but I loved it! I gotta get me one of those blankets. Great video, Mark.

Thanks Mark for the video. Years ago I had a Swedish friend who would boil his coffee then put a raw egg in it to settle the grounds. I like my eggs cooked and on a plate. My coffee boiled and a dash of cold water to settle the grounds.
Yes, I have a video on that. Thanks for commenting
Cool coffee making vid! I like the twist and the way you presented it along with the background info. As always .....nice job Mark!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting
Love the blanket, love coffee, great vid☕️😁
Thanks Wade. I had fun making it
Hello Mark. A very interesting and enjoyable hike and coffee in the woods! As a tea drinker, I can't imagine preparing tea with any salted meat in it but as a former coffee drinker, I certainly can. Nice blanket, by the way. Have a great day and hope you missed the rain.
Almost got home before the rain started. Fortunately, it was more of a drizzle. Thanks for commenting
The birch bark if you scape it it makes great fire starter
Yes it can. Old stuff is harder to scrape and crumbly stuff lights almost as well. Thanks for commenting
Right on Mark. I have yet to try doing bush coffee but it is on my radar for one of these Drifts soon. I like the parks Canada blanket. That's a great idea to recycle the old uniforms. Thanks for sharing Mark, hope you and your family have a fantastic Easter!
Same to you my friend
Thank you for taking your time and interest in this, Mark. 😊 Safe travels, atb from Norway
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
You know you can chew on those wild coffee beans when your hiking 😂
Packed full of energy😆. Thanks for commenting
The nest, if its on a birch tree is called witch's broom. Its caused by a fungus that tricks the tree into kicking out new growth which it then feeds on.
Right on. Good pick up. Thanks for commenting
YTer Swedewoods puts a sprig of Spruce in the spout to catch any floating grounds -- and even if that doesn't work 100%, you've got to admit it has a woodsy flair!
Good to know. Thanks for commenting
Thanks from rural Ontario
Great looking coffee
Thanks for commenting
In my family we first boil the water, take it off, add coffee, then as you said out it back and forth boiling up a couple of times. Then let the grounds settle and serve. The reindeer meat is more of a Sami thing. We do add some regular salt into it though. Im residing in Sweden. Nice video.👍
Right on. So many ways to make coffee. Thanks for sharing
We (most of us) boil the water alone ,take it off and add the coffee and let it rest for 4-5 minutes and then knock on the kettle ..he he ..but yes some cook it up with the coffee already in but then it gets bitter and the amino acid get on the loose
I agree. I made a video on cowboy coffee and talk about that as well. Thanks for commenting
Great video Mark, I gotta a chuckle out of that Canadian coffee beans gag. 🤣 I don't know what those bunches up in that tree was, but I know I have squirrels that build nests that look kinda like that in the trees in my backyard, but usually much higher up, though. 🤔 Anyway, thanks for sharing. Take care my friend and Cheers!
Wait, you thought I was joking?😂. Its called a witches broom. It is a reaction the tree has to some type of infection. Thanks for commenting my friend
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I didn't know that' what those things were called, thanks for letting me know. 👍
Interesting video Mark , thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Thanks for commenting
Technology strikes again! Thanks for making the video twice Mark 😂
Most welcome. Thanks for commenting
Salt tricks our taste buds into thinking something is less bitter than it really is.
A few grains of salt even without the meat would probably work as well.
Nice blanket.
Yes, I talk about adding salt in my cowboy coffee video. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Sorry if I missed you talking about salt in this video.
Very good! Neat way to make a cup of Joe. I would love see your coffee filter bags you use to make and how its all done. See how it turns out in the woods. I beleave we all might try that one. lol
I am working on a DIY coffee filter type of thing for a future video. Thanks for commenting
Think I'd still hit it with a dab of cold water, to settle grounds. I've carried a percolator into the woods, being the son of a ex-Navy Chief Boat'sun Mate, fresh brewed always tastes better in the woods!
I agree. A shock of cold water works great. Quicker to. Thanks for commenting
I just might give it a try. Interesting. Thanks
Right on. Just don't add too much salted meat😅. Thanks for commenting
Arabic/Greek/Turkish coffee
Three times to the boil is traditional
With very fine ground coffee
Yes, I have had that and am hoping to make some in the woods. I even have an old Ibrik to make it with. Thanks for commenting
I'd like to suggest my favorite, Turkish coffee. The Ibriks conical shape is crucial to how its made and the cardamom is crucial to the flavor. Some people put sugar in (I don't), but I was told never to put milk in it.
Right on. I have an ibrik and was considering making Turkish coffee. Thanks for the tips
Interesting video, I see new stove? Future review? Love stoves
From Decathalon. Review coming. Thanks for commenting
Mark … Thoroughly enjoyed the video!!! Great job!!! You may have inadvertently solved one of my current dietary dilemmas. I love my morning coffee (once a day) but have had to give it up because I am ketovore/carnivore but I use sugar to balance the bitter taste in my coffee. Hadn’t thought about salt/electrolytes instead of sugar. I’m gonna give it a try in the next week or so; I’ll let you know the results. Until your next video and beyond, happy trails, best wishes, take care, be safe, God’s peace and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Atascocita, Texas, USA. ✝️🎣👨🌾🦌🙏
Right on. I like my coffee black. I am on keto myself. You not able to add cream on carnivore? My next video will be on the keto diet. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft: My pleasure. I use a zero carb non dairy creamer … but if this works, I just may go black. I’ll keep you posted!!! Chuck. 👨🌾
Greetings from Norway. I did not see if you ate the meat. You should try it. That is the way of the Sami people. Great video by the way!
Yes, I did eat some of the meat. Was still very salty but edible. Thanks for commenting
Wonderful. Kokkaffe är gott när man är i naturen. Kokkaffe taste nice when you are in nature 😂
Thanks for commenting😊
Haha nova scocia coffee beans. Myself I call evergreen resin nature's best fire starter. Interesting new try on coffee.
First to say something about the coffee beans. Maybe everyone else thought I was serious. Thanks for commenting
Hey Mark. I was watching a Grim Granite UA-cam video a couple weeks ago and he made what he said was Swedish coffee. I don't remember all the details but he put the coffee grounds in the cold bush put. Cracked a raw egg into the coffee grounds. Stirred them together to make a paste. Poured water in and boiled like cowboy coffee over the fire. He said it was the smoothest coffee he has ever had and has had it since he was a child. I've never tried it but thought you might want to research it further and give it a try. I enjoyed your vid. Love the Parks Canada blanket.
Yes, I have a video on making Swedish egg coffee as well. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft sorry Mark. I was thinking you might already had a vid. My apologies.
No need to apologize. Glad you are enjoying my videos@@toddkanhai3164
@@MarkYoungBushcraft We're Canadian. We apologize....lol. I am indeed enjoying your videos. Look forward fo them.
lol "incoming storm of more reindeer meat than you can handle"
Yikes. I have to be careful what I say. Thanks for commenting
That blanket is really nice! I’d maybe call it a “spruce green”.
Did boiling the eggs first make the water & coffee taste “eggy” at all?
Your kuksa is beautiful!
Right on. Like blue spruce. Did not think of that as we don't have it naturally here in Nova Scotia. Actually, no egg flavour but it is supposed to smooth out coffee flavour, not that I noticed it this time. If I had left the eggs in for a longer time maybe. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I’ve heard that about eggshells in coffee. Thanks!
Heyyyyy Mark!!!
Looked good! TY!!
2 questions please.... Did U eat the deer meat???
Did you end up gettin snow or rain on your return home trip??
Happy Easter to you and yours!!
I did eat a couple of pieces but it was so salty. Yes, started to drizzle but not the heavy rain as predicted. Thanks for commenting
🥰
Thanks for commenting
Hello Mark, I hope you're doing well! I noticed you have a new knife. Could you tell me which model it is? I'm also intrigued by the new wood stove. Could you share the model name for that as well? Thanks again for all these informative videos and interesting insights. Talk to you soon! 🤩 🔥🔥🔥 👍
It looks look a decathlon stove which I am looking for and now i will buy it 😂
Good eye. The stove is from Decathalon amd the knife from Beavercraft. Reviews coming. Thanks for commenting
Oops, wrong knife. This one is from Work Tuff Gear
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thank you Mark !👍
Very cool blanket. I’ll have to look up the blanket on one of their websites. My question would be, did you eat the coffee soaked venison? Or did you think the taste of venison would be a little bit gamey? ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
I did eat some of it. Way to salty. I have made venison jerky before and as long as it is fresh meat it does not taste gamey. Thanks for commenting
What stove you using Mark? ❤
Good eye. Made by Solognac and sold by Decathalon. Thanks for commenting
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Damp cold we(s)t coast❤🎉😅😊
Same here. Thanks for commenting
Hello Mark from Michigan. Was there a website for items like the wool/fleece blanket your lovely wife gifted you? My wife made for me a poncho years ago when we were in Scouting. It was very warm and cozy, but kind of heavy.
I meant to add that. It is there now. parkscanadashop.ca/products/parks-canada-blanket Thanks for commenting
Great you tried it :) o i think you had way to much in but it also depend on how dry and salt it is of course .. we put it in the cup not kettle when coffee finished and just a little slice but it might work both ways for the bitterness as well but i can clearly taste reindeer or lamb when added to it . i would like to send some reindeer meat but hard to find where i am now by the coast . only raw now
I agree. Too much in the pot. I did try it before making the video with much less and it tasted better. I appreciate the offer but I realize it is not practical to send the reindeer. Thanks again for the suggestion
@@MarkYoungBushcraft at christmas we have something called Fenalår.. it is dried sheep or lamb..works as well in coffee . many use that around christmas into the coffee
Another great tradition. Thanks again@@kendexter
I have never tried that, I come across Venison so seldom that I am not to sure I would put it in my coffee, if I did I would be rinsing it off and chewing it on the way back out.
I tried eating it afterwards. It was still too salty. Thanks for commenting
Another new stove and knife? And is that a new kettle, or did you lose the lid on the old one?
As for the "nest", is that some sort of caterpillar activity?
You are too observant. Knife I have been testing for a while. Stove only about 5 fires and the kettle about 10 boil ups. Reviews on all three coming soon. Not a caterpillar but you are close
Oops. This one is from Work Tuff Gear. Too many knives on the go
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Your trials and tribulations are real….. 😀
Nova Scotia coffee, eh. Actually the world's most expensive coffee comes out of the butt end of a Indonesian palm civet cat.
I have heard that. This stuff is much easier to find😣. Thanks for commenting
What stove and what kettle
Stove is from Decathalon and the knife from Work Tuff Gear. Reviews coming
Nice hat, what kind?
It is a wool Austrian hunter's hat I picked up while visiting my son there a few years ago
@MarkYoungBushcraft very nice!
Wild Nova Scotia coffee beans? I'll pass, Haha!!
You are missing out😅 Thanks for commenting
20:13 mistletoe, yes?
If you are referring to the growth on the tree. Not mistletoe. Thanks for commenting
These essential oils from white birch are of interest in the case of some diseases, but using them in general is foolish and can also be counterproductive.
I know about using birch oil externally for skin issues but had not heard of taking it internally. Having said that, I do use chaga and birch polypore that contain the beneficial components from the birch. v
but from my point of view as a coffee consumer it is a real rubbish, even if my grandfather made it, and that Swedish tradition of adding crusts is another stupidity... traditional, but a traditional stupidity because you add some essential oils that are not in coffee and that they can be consumed in another way and it is not necessary to add them there. I think it is an invented tradition because of course calling this a traditional practice is impossible because the Swedes and Norwegians never had coffee.
I appreciate your sharing this
