It’s a cute video, and also rather interesting to watch how some Canadian troops make coffee while being stationed in Afghanistan. (I initially thought they were American – but a wise reader heard some secret Canadian references in their speech (you know, those sneaky Canadians)).
The heater pouches are a great idea.
The language is perhaps not suitable for the office – “Nothing f—s up good coffee like f—ing insurgents – just FYI.

It was on an old CSI fwiw. Raw coffee beans are “processed” through a civet. The resulting coffee is supposedly the best. One of those things you should taste before you know what it is :)

Those are Canadian Forces troops. Remember Canadian are so polite
There are several hidden references. Timmy’s for one.

Not criticism, just an FYI.
Timmy’s is crap east coast coffee. I travel the north with Starbucks Via to add to the local hotel coffee. Via is not great coffee, but is is the best you can get in remote places.

You’re right, someone took the damn video and reposted it – I hate when people do that on YouTube – the original video says they’re Canadian underneath it.

I wouldn’t want a fundamentalist religious nutcase (Christianist or Islamist) anywhere around me when I’m making coffee, and I sure wouldn’t invite one over for coffee. I’ll have to agree with the serviceman in the video: “Nothing fucks up good coffee like fucking insurgents.”
