Why is coffee called mud?

The origin of why coffee’s called mud isn’t entirely clear.

There’s been a saying that mud coffee is an insult called the coffee too thick with grounds.

I’ve also came across the suggestion that it could be a southern thing that dates back to cowboys and how they would label their drink.

And then again it could from the military possibly.

There’s a thought floating around about it being tied to someone in the Navy called Josephus Daniels that didn’t allow alcohol on his ship.
