The origin of Camp Coffee is believed to have come from a request from the Gordon Highlanders for a coffee drink that could be used easily by the army on field campaigns in India. The regular process of grinding and brewing coffee was too complicated and time consuming for a military field kitchen.
The creation of a liquid Camp Coffee provided a simpler method.
