"Arbuckle's Coffee" Newspaper Ad Mug

For cowboys in the wild Wild West, coffee wasn't a drink; it was a religion. They drank it like water, gave it affectionate and disparaging nicknames, fought over it, and found new and inventive ways to brew it. It was the cowboy way.

Although some claim that the best part of waking up on the frontier in the mid-1800s was Folgers in your cup, Arbuckle's was known (by some) as “the coffee that won the West." While Folgers came first in Arbuckles’ Coffee was founded by two brothers in 1865 and was the first to package the coffee in one-pound, airtight bags. Chuck wagon cooks all over the west became instant and devoted Arbuckle fans.

So mosey on down to the kitchen and get yourself a cup of the six-shooter, skink, float, horseshoe, brown gargle, jamoka, thin mud, muck, or black water (all translate from cowboy to English as "coffee") and enjoy the fact that you are drinking it from a handsome mug like this, and not a beaten up, old tin trail cup that was lashed washed a week ago in the same creek your cows were drinking from.
