Botz: How to Brew Israeli Field Coffee

Every Israeli soldier knows botz. The word means "mud," and it's the field coffee of the IDF: black grounds, hot water, a metal cup, zero equipment. No machine, no filter, no excuses.

The classic method

1. Spoon finely-ground dark roast into a cup — about one heaped tablespoon per 200ml.
2. Pour water just off the boil straight over the grounds.
3. Stir once. Wait ninety seconds. The grounds sink — that's the mud.
4. Drink carefully. Stop before the last sip unless you like chewing your coffee.

Why it matters

Botz is coffee stripped of ceremony. It exists because people who carry real responsibility still need a real cup, wherever they are. That spirit — strong, simple, unbothered — is the backbone of everything we roast.

The field-instant upgrade

Our Botz tube keeps the ritual and loses the grit: premium instant coffee, 27 servings, dissolves in hot or cold water. Desk drawer, ruck, glove box.
