Welcome back to Coffee Talk with the Cajun Mamas. Friends, we have a very riveting episode today for you.

Speaker 2 0:07

Hey, I'm excited about it.

Welcome to Coffee Talk

Speaker 1 0:09

I'm kind of excited about it too, because it's about one of our favorite things. I mean coffee and what goes with the coffee. You got to brew it in a nice coffee pot.

Speaker 2 0:17

So we got all our little antique coffee pots out for y'all today and we're going to just tell y'all I don't know some stories, the story of y'all today, and we're gonna just tell y'all I don't know some stories and how we got them what their names are, if their name because some of them don't have names, yeah, um, but we feel like they are a part of our family and they probably should be named, so we're gonna do that today yeah, and, and y'all see them in our content a lot.

Our Beloved Coffee Pots

Speaker 1 0:39

So we're just gonna. We're gonna talk about our beloved little coffee pots. I love it. All right, first we're gonna open up with our grand sponsor, acadia, parish cajun harvest country. Y'all need to make a trip, just plan your trip to come visit acadia, parish and and tour all our little towns. You're gonna eat some good food. You're gonna see some good sights. Okay, we have like agriculture is huge around here. It can you believe there's like some people in this world that have never seen a rice field or, like you know, crawfish ponds I can't imagine a life like that I came that.

Speaker 1 1:09

We just grew up around that. But yeah, it's a, it's a beautiful sight that we take for granted.

Speaker 2 1:14

You, know, I guess we do we do but there's no sight that's prettier than a truck with a bed full of crawfish sacks, yeah.

Speaker 1 1:25

Well. What's prettier than that, though, is when they're red and hot and ready on your plate. Yes, you know. So it's crawfish season around here. You need to come, plan your trip and go hit all these crawfish spots. We got like cajun claws in douceau, the eyes in bazille. Okay, you can probably find a drive-through crawfish place just about any town you go through. Church Point alone has like three or four of them.

Speaker 2 1:46

Yeah, we have three for sure. Three for sure, yeah.

Speaker 1 1:50

And then of course there's oh, I lied there's four, I thought it was four. Now, okay, you yeah, Sebon and Mermantle, if you want that end.

Speaker 2 1:57

Let me tell you what. My husband came back with a plate lunch from Sabon in Mermantle and I talked about that for probably a month. It was crawfish etouffee and it was delicious.

Speaker 1 2:07

My mom and daddy like to get crabs from Sabon. They said they were always full and pretty and good. Go to AcadiaTourismcom and plan your visit to Acadia Parish. You will not be sorry. You're going to leave fat and happy, all right, yeah, just like me.

Speaker 2 2:24

All right. So thank y'all so much for being a sponsor this month. All right, so let's talk. A lot of people ask why, why? How did y'all get started with this? That's a. That's a. That's a question. We get a lot. How did we get started with all this? What with all the coffee and stuff?

Speaker 1 2:43

Yeah, yeah, and like this, you know this is is is a part of our image, I guess has become, you know us just sitting around the table drinking coffee and visiting about everyday life stuff. That is basically what we are and what we do. Um, but our love of old things, you know, and antique things, nose, no, bounds, nose, no bounds, and it's only gotten stronger, since all this has happened.

Eliza's Story: A Family Heirloom

Speaker 1 3:07

Yes, Like I had maybe two coffee pots whenever before this started and now I have three. I have three plus like a French press at home that I don't really use, but I have a.

Speaker 2 3:21

Keurig. Oh, we need to make French press. I didn't know you had one.

Speaker 1 3:24

I do have a French press.

Speaker 2 3:25

It's not old though it's a new one, but steel oh well then we should have brought that one, because you know I have a cold brew.

Speaker 1 3:31

Yeah, that's another one we didn't have.

Speaker 2 3:38

Oh gosh, we have so many more. We have more.

Speaker 1 3:40

But these are.

Speaker 2 3:41

No, sometimes Keurigs need to be used because things need to be done.

Speaker 1 3:45

Quickly, yes, but when I have the time to boil my little pot of water and pour the grounds, this has been my favorite lately.

Speaker 2 3:55

Okay.

Speaker 1 3:56

This is Eliza, and it's probably spelled like Eliza, but it's Eliza, because this was my, my father-in-law's grandmother. Okay, so that is my children's great-great three times grandma, I think. One, two, yeah, so her name was Eliza Leje Savoie. Oh, how kajan. How kajan is that? So this was her little pot, and I don't know what camera is going to be on me to show y'all this, maybe it's going to be this one. Okay, so let's hope it's this one, all right, so you take this. It's this one I think this is your camera, though.

Speaker 2 4:35

Yeah, you see me Okay.

Speaker 1 4:39

Okay, Well it's going. You're gonna see eliza okay, then this little thing comes off. I still don't know what this does, except that it just keeps. I mean, the grounds come up through it. You know, the grounds come up through it. So I don't think it's meant to like stop the grounds from coming up, but the water goes through it. Like the water will go through, okay, I don't know, but it's there, okay, okay. And then the bottom has this little filter oh this, this is so good. And look how small the holes are.

Speaker 1 5:07

Now yours has some big old holes where the grounds go through. But I looked out somehow and Eliza has this little filter in it. If not, you might have to cut a filter and put it in there.

Speaker 2 5:18

That's what I do for this one.

Speaker 1 5:20

But yes, you boil your water. This is like a drip, it's just you boil your water. This is like a drip, it's just a. You know gravity does the work. The hot water goes through the grounds and into the bottom, and then you have a very delicious cup of coffee.

Speaker 2 5:32

And you put it however strong.

Speaker 1 5:33

you want it. You know it depends on how many scoops, how many scoops Of coffee, that you use.

Speaker 2 5:37

Now, okay, I have one similar to Eliezer. This one is called Nonk Greg it was given to us, okay, by his name was Greg.

Nonk Greg: The Gift with a Letter

Speaker 1 5:50

Ordemon, I forgot. Look it up, greg. Yes, nonk, greg. I feel like he deserves credit for sure, because he was so sweet to send us this coffee pot. Ordeno, or coffee pot or no, or no. Okay or no, mr Greg, or no.

Speaker 2 6:10

And he sent this to us and it was the most well-written letter that just touched my heart. It was so beautiful. Okay, so this was, I think, for his grandmother or his mama or somebody. And I'm telling you it was a beautiful letter and if I could share it with was, I think, for his grandmother or his mama or somebody. And it was. I'm telling you it was a beautiful letter and if I could share it with you I would, but it was a confidential letter. He said yes, he said please keep it confidential.

Speaker 1 6:32

So personal and confidential, personal, yes.

Speaker 2 6:34

And so he gave this to us, and she already had this one. I had my little one she said you take this one, take this one, and this is my favorite, isn't it? It makes the best coffee, yes, okay, so it is. Um, we open this like this, okay, and then you can see, this is like the. I put a filter in it because these holes are quite they are and I'm.

Speaker 1 6:56

It had to be because the grounds were bigger back then.

Speaker 2 6:59

Huh, surely, maybe the course, course, course ground. You know, yeah, um, and then it's same thing. You know, it drips through, um, it drips through, just like the other one. She, she explained, I always heat my water in this.

Speaker 1 7:16

I need one of those. I'm now I, I have just me, uh, I just have a steel like stainless steel looking teapot, you know, yeah, and it goes, it whistles.

Speaker 2 7:27

When it's done, it whistles see I miss the whistling because sometimes I'll be too late getting this and I'll have evaporated half of it but I feel like you need a bigger one too.

Speaker 1 7:38

You need a baby one that size I should need.

Speaker 2 7:40

You need a bigger one but then because no, greg can hold two of those probably probably, but I mean, I do pretty good this. This is a eight with six cups.

Speaker 1 7:50

Okay.

Speaker 2 7:51

You know it's a six cups. Anyway, I heat the water in here and then I get this ready. I put a little filter. We drip some coffee in that. That is not Greg. And this teapot is the spice of life. Collect, okay, corn and ware. Apparently I'm collecting that now, I guess. So you know, I do have quite a good, and maybe next time we'll bring the spice of life and uh, and show y'all that we just love what's on?

Speaker 1 8:16

here some cross no, no, I mean, what's on what is the spice? Is that some nutmeg?

Speaker 2 8:26

No, no Garlic, I always thought it was some little figs on there.

Speaker 1 8:32

I don't know what that is, but if it's the spice, it has to be like a spice, like a Well, garlic is a spice. That's not garlic, friend, that's flowers. This is some little flowers, well it's spicy colored.

Speaker 2 8:46

It is spicy colored Peaches, I don't know, colored it is some peaches, I don't know what I don't know, what that is the spice of life, if you know, please put that in the comments and some coriander and what it says on there latte latte for the tea?

Speaker 1 9:02

okay latte. Yeah, I do love this little thing.

Speaker 2 9:05

I love it and I got that um with my correo at this little place in uh that came with the set. It didn't come with it, but I did buy it separately. No, but at the same place at the same place. Yeah, it was like a big antique store and like I just found it and I had to leave with it oh, you know what we forgot to say about?

The Drip-A-Later: Grandpa's Legacy

Speaker 1 9:25

no, greg, in case in case you didn't know the Cajun word, the Cajun French word for pot is Gregg Gregg, so it just fit perfectly. Yeah, you know his name was Gregg, that he gave this pot to us and the Cajun word for pot is Gregg.

Speaker 2 9:40

Yes, non-gregg, non-gregg then was born. It was born From Gregg and it just it did. It went so perfectly.

Speaker 1 9:52

So you know there's there's a story of my little teapot and my no, greg and eliza and eliza. Okay, let's, let's take a second and mention um what we got to mention very much and just in time, because I got remod hardware, you can get this fine baby.

Speaker 2 10:06

Yes, and just so happens we have. I mean, we drop links every time we use that, that pot how how brought us each?

Speaker 1 10:13

a each a drip pot. Yeah, that's a mcware or mac aware, however you want to say it. But uh, gary mod hardware is. They are a hardware store in rain louisiana, but they specialize in cooking supplies and and cookery. Okay, I'm gonna call it, your burners, your big pot setups for jambalaya. Okay, indoors and outdoor cookery. So you got your uh cast iron pots, those coated enamel cast iron pots too that I use for everything um.

You can get the stainless steel cookware and aluminum cookware and also the mcguire that's the magna light. Alternative cookware is all at Garry Mott and plus a lot of kitchen gadgets. Oh, the kitchen gadgets A variety of utensils and kitchen gadgets.

Speaker 2 10:56

Speaker 1 10:57

Go to Garry Mott Hardware in Rain.

Speaker 2 11:00

Louisiana, 290 Service Road in Rain. Yes, garrymotthardwarecom, and that's G-A-R-Y-M-A-T-T-E.

Speaker 1 11:09

Yes, it looks like Matt, but it ain't. It's Mott over here and you might run into how Cajun Lady Accent when you're over there, because she works there. She's here and there and everywhere, but you may see how there too, and get some of her seasonings while you're at it. Mm-hmm, okay, all right. Okay, all right. So, yes, the drip pots. Okay, so this one and this one are, they work the same way. Okay, this is the mcware one and this one is, uh, I think it's a something uh, drip-a-later, drip-a-later. You do that. Yes, so this drip-a-later pot comes from my husband's grandpa, um, and I'm sure his grandma too like it was in the house. So when, after we got married, we we lived in his grandparents old house, like we remodeled the inside and repainted and all that, and that was our first little house, and in the kitchen was this drip pot. And for years, like I put it in, I knew I wanted it, but I didn't really have an appreciation for old things at the time.

Speaker 2 12:12

I mean, I was like 22 or 23 yeah, you want everything new you want everything new breaks in like two years correct, so I put it aside.

Speaker 1 12:21

And when I saw like the drip pot and stuff, and I'm like I think I have one like that, so I went and got it out and I was like I do have one like that and it makes the best coffee and I'm so happy to have this and that it was my husband's grandpa and grandma's in their house.

Speaker 2 12:39

How many delicious cups of coffee do you think I know? I love the way it looks so well loved.

Speaker 1 12:44

Yes, can you open it up? Yes, and so this, like the the lid, it does not. It's probably a little warped because I have to like, do, like this, and then I pop it on like that. Okay, oh so yes and uh, it has the. The inside is is like this this is where you pour the water through it. On the side it has the clip, yeah, and it has like a little indent right there so that it don't come off. Yeah.

Speaker 2 13:10

So if you pour with the whole thing, you don't have to worry, it won't come off. Yes, yes, oh, wow.

Speaker 1 13:15

And it has the little lines four, six cups and the inside. This is the filter part, oh Uh-huh. And it has on here too, six or four, like where your line's supposed to go for your grounds.

Speaker 2 13:37

Yeah, isn't that nice. Let me see the holes. Oh it's. They're small, it's small.

Speaker 1 13:39

Yeah, okay, I just I can't help but think about how many pots of coffee this has made. Yes, you know. Now this is an old one, you can tell look at the handle yeah, I know I'm so scared they're gonna and break, but they still feel pretty sturdy you know, oh, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 13:51

So like think about how many drip pots you have, the automatic ones, okay, how many of those have I gone through in my married life? I'm going to tell you at least three or four of them, yeah, for sure. But these they not going nowhere because they don't plug up.

Speaker 1 14:07

Right, so no electricity required.

Speaker 2 14:08

electricity required no, this is a newer one. Okay, this is brand new.

Speaker 2 14:14

Uh, actually, I use this one yeah but uh, how brought this to us not long ago. If you're looking for an old style, one that hasn't, you know, been loved already, this is the kind you can get. At gary mott now you just just same deal. You put your, you know, you put your water boiling and then here is where you put your, your grounds, yep, and I put a little. I cut a filter for it because I don't want them grounds floating in my mouth.

Speaker 1 14:43

Okay, let me see how big the holes are.

Speaker 2 14:45

Okay, yeah, okay, and so I cut a filter and I put it in there. All right, put my grounds in there, and then I pour my water over top of this and let it. Let it drip down and just enjoy a slow morning. Sometimes I'll sit on my little high chair by the thing and I'll just read out of my devotional or I'll study While it's brewing. While it's brewing. Just take some time, man. It's fine, it's fine, it's going to be fine.

Speaker 1 15:13

I love mornings like that, where I'm able to do that and brew that slow drip. Just take a second Shoot, man. Does yours have a name? This one has no name and mine neither. Okay, we need to name these pots, yeah, and we need y'all's help. Okay, we want all of our YouTube listeners, watchers, right now. I would love for y'all to comment what y'all think we should name these pots. We both feel like these are masculine.

Speaker 1 15:45

So this should be a masculine well at least me, that one's a masculine one, you can be a woman, we could go either way.

Speaker 2 15:48

Okay, I feel like I've known Greg and I feel he's little, he's a little feminine, but you know, but he's big like compared to this tall yeah so this you tell us? Yeah, all right, yeah, give koa's a name. Hers is definitely a man.

I mean, it's so important, Like I just feel much more connected when we have a little name for them.

Speaker 2 16:36

They are a part of our family. They are their own little family, but a part of ours too. Yes, all right, let's take a second to mention BU Salon. All right, bu Salon is the salon that I actually go to.

Speaker 1 16:49

They want you to feel like family too when you go home and I do, okay, they make you feel special.

Speaker 2 16:55

Pampering.

Speaker 2 17:04

It smells so good, very pampered, but there's also coffee. Oh Okay, you can fix yourself a coffee.

Speaker 1 17:10

They have a coffee bar-like type situation.

Speaker 2 17:13

There's like a little coffee bar, but then also there's a little wine.

Speaker 1 17:15

Oh, so, like you know, mama's day out to get your hair done.

Speaker 2 17:19

Yes, oh, and so sometimes you're there for a while.

Speaker 1 17:22

Yeah, you know, let that color set.

Speaker 2 17:24

It's time for you to relax, and there's not often, you know, there's not often that mamas take some time but on their hair appointment day. Do not be calling them.

Speaker 1 17:33

No, all right, and this is the perfect place to go.

Speaker 2 17:36

You can book online. I'd be. You can book online at busalonlacom. You can find them on social media and y'all give Shelby and all her little girls a shout out. I like just watching we got Amelia I'm naming the ones that I know for sure, hannah, everybody is so accommodating. It's wonderful to go there. Yep, all right, y'all give them a call, all right.

Louise and Madeline: The Percolator Twins

Speaker 1 18:03

So okay, so we have not talked about these big babies right here, these make a statement. Don't you feel Like these are a centerpiece? I feel like I have mine when I'm not using it and I'll be honest, this is the one.

Speaker 2 18:22

I probably use the least. Okay, because it takes the most time.

Speaker 1 18:24

Okay, um, I put it on my windowsill because I just like looking at her you know this is Louise, in case any y'all need to know her name. This is Louise and this is a percolator yeah, my name.

Speaker 2 18:36

Her name's Madele and she's named after the Wayne Tube song. Hey, Madeleine.

Speaker 1 18:43

Madeleine, and it's like Madeline but, it's Madeleine, for y'all to know.

Speaker 2 18:50

And they're percolator twins.

Speaker 1 18:51

They are.

Speaker 2 18:52

We actually got them. I love the story of how we got them. We got them on the same day we went to a secondhand store in Crowley it's called Second Time Around. It is and we happened.

Speaker 1 19:05

Like we go through this store and in the back but we didn't get in the store. Remember they were closed. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, they were closed, yeah they were closed, well closed, but the lady was there, she was there and the door was open and I'm like if the door's open, we're going to try to go in and she said y'all come in.

Speaker 2 19:22

Yes, she was excited too when she saw us, but it was like we didn't know this place.

Speaker 1 19:27

It was like a private tour. Yeah, like exclusive access yeah. To the thrift we were like if this is all where our celebrity status takes us we were so happy to have an exclusive to a secondhand store.

Speaker 2 19:44

Yes, it was wonderful, it was so. Then we walk back there and there's clothes. There's so much to look at. It was, it was a treasure trove, it was.

Speaker 1 19:51

And um, then we spotted these babies yep, they were sent side by side right, weren't they? There was, we were looking for a crazy daisy pattern stuff at the time and when we saw those, I'm like and in pristine condition, like this bear. It looked like it had barely been used. They had a little bit of staining at the bottom, whatever, no big deal, but yeah, we had to have them, yeah we had to have them and well, we were just going to get one.

Speaker 2 20:18

Remember, we were just going to get one, so that we could, you know, have one and show whatever. And then she said I'm going to give you both of them.

Speaker 1 20:26

Remember yes, I do Now that you say that. Yes, she did.

Speaker 2 20:30

And we were like what are we going to do with two we each have?

Speaker 1 20:33

one now and are we happy.

Speaker 2 20:35

Yes, so this is a percolator different from the drip pot. All right, this works on gravity.

Speaker 1 20:40

This you have to put on the stove, like to heat it up, yeah take the guts out of the mechanism. Now we had to google this too. Yeah, and our friend, brit camille from tiktok uh, she showed us actually how to do it in a video and we were like, oh, thank you. Yeah, you know, it just so happened at the time she had done a video on how to work the percolator. She, yeah, she's. But here's the deal you're gonna have, to like, go do something while this is going.

Speaker 2 21:11

This is gonna take a solid 15, 20 minutes, yeah, yeah. And if you're making like, if I really want to wow somebody or I'm having afternoon coffee and my sister's coming over, I will take this baby out, okay, and and make a whole big pot. We'll perk Now I think, aren't these eight.

Speaker 1 21:24

Mine is a nine cup. It says nine on yours too.

Speaker 2 21:27

Yeah.

Speaker 1 21:27

Okay, mine's a nine. They have a oops. They have, I know, a six cup version.

Speaker 2 21:42

Because, like when Brit Camille does hers, it's small one, like that it wouldn't take quite as long. But yeah, anyway, we, we need one of all sizes.

Speaker 1 21:45

Yes, you can send your old coffee pots to po box four, five, eight. And look, when I made it, we had made a video about these, this pot, and somebody had commented like where's the plug? Or like where does it go? Because apparently they made a version like this with a plug. Yeah, and I'm like no, this ain't the plug, there's a plug under the handle. There's no plug underneath, no not these handles not these handles all right.

Speaker 2 22:05

So you put, let's, let's talk about it. This is like a straw, a straw, okay, and then it goes in like so, but you look, no grinds, yeah.

Speaker 1 22:16

Then you pour, you know, but brit camille says you have to like wash it, run it under cold water, and it does something to help it, not the grounds. Don't fall through.

Speaker 2 22:27

I don't know what it is, but it works. It does work, okay. And so your water is all your water's in the bottom, okay, and then there's some little lines in there. I know this is probably confusing for you.

Speaker 1 22:39

Stick with it, stick with it.

Speaker 2 22:41

Okay, there, I know this is probably confusing for you. Stick with, stick with it, okay. And then you put you know your grounds in here. And then there's this little top. Now don't forget this top. No, when you do the, it comes all over the ground so and it spits out.

Speaker 1 22:53

I'm like one day I'm having coffee. I'm like I don't think the grounds are supposed to be spitting out the top like that and that's what had happened that's what had happened.

Speaker 2 23:01

That's what had happened.

Speaker 1 23:02

Your girl forgot to put that little top on, so but the magical part is whenever it starts to boil up into that straw and it gets all through the grounds and everything, and then it turns colors and you can see the coffee perking through the top Like the top is actually glass and you can see the coffee perking through the top like the the top is actually glass and you can see it like the percolating sound is so satisfying and you'll see it like starting to turn darker and darker and then, when you feel like when jesus tells you that's enough, you cut off the heat yeah he usually tells me that's enough with it.

Speaker 2 23:36

Low, and slow is the best way.

Speaker 1 23:37

Well, first time we did it, we burned it, it tasted it, yeah, and so low and slow is the best way. The first time we did it.

Speaker 2 23:40

We burned our coffee. We burned it. It tasted burnt and so low and slow, about seven, eight minutes perking. It was good. After that Take it off, Let it sit for a little bit. We know how to do it now, but at first. Oh, it was a learning curve, a few times.

Speaker 1 23:51

She loves cooking for the customers over there and she loves when people go tell a hello and take a picture. And she's got it all set up. So, y'all go visit her at Gary Mott Hardware. Yes, All right. So that I mean, do we have anything else to say? I don't know.

Speaker 1 25:55

I feel like now I really want to go thrift shopping right now. Yes, because there's other things we need. No, I want y'all to tell us in the comments how many coffee pots do you own? Like is this an obsessive amount of coffee pots that we have? Like, and when I come back with one, my husband is like another coffee pot, like, how many coffee pots do you need? And I'm like how many.

Speaker 2 26:16

How many pairs of shoes? How many pairs of shoes? How many are there? How many of anything? Yeah, I don't have one like this.

Speaker 1 26:22

No, I don't. And look, when we go thrifting and go to antique stores and stuff, there's some that I've seen like that I've never seen before, like they had a. One time I went and they had one like this, but it was gigante, you hear me, it was giant I wish I would have seen that in real life it was like a sphere on top of another sphere, like a snowman.

Speaker 1 26:46

It was strange looking it was so strange and huge and it said something about army on it, like it served the whole platoon, the whole platoon. The whole brigade Brigade. Is that the right term, brigade? I can just see it over the fire at the platoon or whatever the camp the the army camp and that coffee pot probably served in. I just felt like I needed to salute that pot, you know it was service to this country.

Speaker 2 27:17

all these pots are old. They probably need a salute, let me just tell you. But it's so interesting just to think where could these pots have been? I don't know.

Speaker 1 27:26

That's why we like old things, because we love to think like how many cups of coffee have been drunk out of these cups Just with us? Probably hundreds, Several, you know. But even before that, like in, and how many cups have you know, on the table, how many conversations have these pots been witnessed to?

Naming Our Coffee Pots

Speaker 2 27:46

Oh, that's interesting to think of. Oh, I bet you they got a lot of dirt, a lot of stories, a lot of stories. I bet you they really do know what the spice of life is. I need to know. I need to know now. So please, somebody tell me what these?

Speaker 1 28:02

pictures are yeah.

Speaker 2 28:04

But anyway, yeah, what else do we need? What other pots are we missing?

Speaker 1 28:09

What are we missing?

Speaker 2 28:10

Yeah, Because we are always down to collect more. We always need something like treasure hunt.

Speaker 1 28:16

We love to treasure hunt. We love to treasure hunt.

Speaker 2 28:18

We don't have anything that does like espresso, but that's probably more modern, you think I would like to get one of those uh ones that plug in but like the 70s looking ones you know, to go in my kitchen because, it's like so 70s, but we have to like, maybe that'll be on my list, yeah of things to collect, but uh, so if you think we're missing something, y'all let us know.

Speaker 1 28:42
