Newcastle University, founded in 1834 as the School of Medicine and Surgery, evolved into a university in 1963. Its origins are intertwined with the advancement of medical education in Newcastle. Like many European universities its main “campus’ is integrated into the heart of the city.
This simple method preparing hot coffee evolved from open flame; out on the range. The result is a strong, robust cup that retains grittiness due to the coarse grind and the absence of a filter. Cowboy coffee is more about utility and simplicity rather than precision and refinement, which aligns with the rugged and practical nature of cowboy life. Here’s how it’s typically made:
A pot (often a simple metal or enamel coffee pot), a heat source (campfire or portable stove), and a way to separate the grounds from the liquid (like pouring or using a fine mesh strainer).
Process:
Add coarsely ground coffee to the pot. The amount can vary based on personal preference, but it’s generally a couple of tablespoons of coffee per cup of water.
Add water to the pot. Again, the ratio of coffee to water can be adjusted based on taste preferences.
Place the pot on the heat source and bring it to a near-boil. Watch it carefully to avoid boiling over.
Once it’s heated, let it steep for a few minutes. Some cowboys might toss in a crushed eggshell to help settle the grounds.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a moment to allow the coffee grounds to settle.
Pour the coffee carefully to avoid pouring the grounds into your cup.

Buttermilk is a tangy, dairy-based liquid often used in cooking and baking. It’s traditionally a byproduct of churning butter, but modern buttermilk is typically made by adding lactic acid bacteria to low-fat milk. This bacterial fermentation imparts its characteristic sour flavor and thickens the milk.
Buttermilk provides a pleasant acidity and moisture to recipes, especially in pancakes, biscuits, and marinades. It also aids in leavening, making baked goods rise. Additionally, buttermilk can be enjoyed as a refreshing drink on its own or blended with other ingredients for beverages and dressings, lending a delightful, tart quality.
There is no single international standard for buttermilk, as its composition and characteristics can vary from one region to another.
ISO standards help ensure the quality, safety, and consistency of these products in international trade. Some ISO standards related to milk and dairy products include:
ISO 7886-1:2005 – Milk and milk products — Determination of the protein content — Part 1: Test at 0.020 specific density (Reference method)
ISO 1053:2006 – Milk — Enumeration of somatic cells
ISO 21415-1:2006 – Milk — Enumeration of psychrotrophic microorganisms — Part 1: Colony-count technique at 6.5 degrees C
ISO 11816-1:2013 – Milk — Determination of milkfat, protein, and lactose content — Part 1: Guidance on the operation of mid-infrared instruments
These standards cover various aspects of milk quality, testing methods, and safety parameters. Dairy products, including milk, undergo strict quality control and testing to ensure they meet the required standards for international trade and consumer safety.
