One of the things a cowboy loves aside from the work they do; is coffee.

There is something about Cowboy Coffee.

Coffee was an important staple in the Old West. It was extremely needed, especially with the long hours cowboys spent in the saddle. It is existence in a cup, and it's strong. It's coffee made for a cowboy.
