Until the close of the Civil War, coffee was always sold green. It had to be roasted on a wood stove or in a skillet over a campfire before it could be ground up and brewed. The problem was that one burned bean ruined an entire pot; there was no consistency. In 1865, John Arbuckle and his brother Charles Arbuckle, who were partners in a Pittsburgh grocery business, changed all this by patenting a process for roasting and coating coffee beans with an egg and sugar glaze to seal in the flavor and aroma. Marketed under the name
Arbuckles Coffee
, in patented, airtight, one pound packages, the new coffee was an instant success with chuck wagon cooks in the west faced with the task of keeping Cowboys supplied with plenty of hot coffee out on the range.
Arbuckles Coffee
packages bore a yellow label with the name
ARBUCKLES
in large red letters across the front, beneath which flew a Flying Angel trademark over the words
ARIOSA COFFEE
in black letters. Shipped all over the country in sturdy wooden crates, one hundred packages to a crate,
Arbuckles Coffee
became so dominant, particularly in the west, that many Cowboys were not aware there was any other kind. Keen marketing minds, the Arbuckle Brothers printed signature coupons on the bags of coffee redeemable for all manner of notions including handkerchiefs, razors, scissors, and wedding rings. To sweeten the deal, each package of
Arbuckles Coffee
contained a stick of peppermint candy. Due to the demands on chuck wagon cooks to keep a ready supply of hot
Arbuckles Coffee
on hand around the campfire, the peppermint stick became a means by which a steady coffee supply was ground. Upon hearing the cook's call, "Who wants the candy?" some of the toughest Cowboys on the trail were known to vie for the opportunity of manning the coffee grinder in exchange for satisfying a sweet tooth.
