A think more than a few cattle drives ended in Virginia. Cowboys brought it with them?

Cowboy coffee here in Missouri. Never heard of hobo coffee. Around here though, cowboy coffee often had other things added to give it flavor when they were short on grounds.

I love cowboy coffee... Nothing like a nice thick cup on a cold morning.

I drink nothing but Hobo coffee myself these days. I always prefered that term, though I've heard the other. Maybe it's a rural vs. urban thing. In the cities it's the hobos and in the country it's the cowboys!
Here I am looking for good advice on improving my hobo coffee flavor. I usually put a mug's worth of water, put in the grounds, then turn it off when it hits a boil and let it sit 5 minutes. It never seems strong enough unless I over cook it, then it seems burnt. This is probably inevitable, but any ideas?

You could always add more grounds, or do like the Turkish where you triple boil.
