I have an emergency.

[Maraya1969]

My coffee pot is broke.

I knew this would happen eventually but I truly was not prepared. I feel so alone and scared; so vulnerable.

1. Put your mouth directly under the drip basket

You'll be okay. You can buy a new one tomorrow...

:-)

[Maraya1969]

2. The water won't go through! Maybe if I heat some water and pour it into

the basket? Maybe I should calm down because 4AM is not the time I should be drinking coffee anyway. :hi:

[krispos42]

3. Or...

just put a pinch of coffee grinds between your lower gum and your cheek. Like Skoal, but swallowable! :-)

[Maraya1969]

9. I'd miss the whole coffee drinking experience though. But thanks

for the info. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Take a pot

put in coffee. Heat water. Pour water into pot. Stir. Let sit for a bit. Voilá!! You have coffee.

[Maraya1969]

5. And then you strain it?

[99th_Monkey]

7. jinks

[MissHoneychurch]

8. If you want to

not necessary but if you are used to grainless coffee go ahead.

[99th_Monkey]

6. you forgot the part about straining out the grounds ... eww. n/t

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Not ewww

that is how we used to drink our coffee years ago. Now I don't drink coffee anymore but my mom still does it that way every now and then.

[Maraya1969]

11. I didn't know that. But I always did wonder at the cowboys sitting around

the fire with a coffee pot cooking. I guess there could have been a metal strainer but I bet more often they just added coffee and let the grains settle to the bottom.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. And you know what?

the coffee tastes a lot better that way.

And you can get those "coffee presses" to make it that way without the grains in the coffee :)

[99th_Monkey]

12. Why not just chew up the beans?

Hope I didn't offend with my "eww", but there's just something about those bitter coffee grinds that just .. well ...
you get the idea.. let's just say it's "not my thing".

[MissHoneychurch]

15. That's OK

not offended at all. Main reason I don't drink coffee anymore is the bitter taste. And I don't like milk or sugar in it to "soften" it. I prefer tea these days.

13. NO COFFEE!!! NO,NO,NO, BAD THING!!

:hangover: I need my coffee! I feel for ya Maray1969!

[Maraya1969]

16. Thanks Lady Freedom. You understand me.

:loveya:

[CreekDog]

17. try instant, hahahahahahaha n/t

[MissMillie]

18. buy a percolator to have on times for when this happens

percolated coffee is better anyway, but as long as your stovetop is working, you'll always have coffee.

[AllegroRondo]

19. I keep a jar of instant in case of emergency

sure, it tastes bad, but it has caffeine.

[AlCzervik]

20. you need to have a backup, buy a melita pot in case of emergencies.

i feel for you, that is avery, very bad thing.

[lost-in-nj]

21. I need my coffee

I have a pot with a timer so its made
when I get up....
I keep a cheap Mr. Coffee in the closet when my good coffee pot dies...
when I get the new one Mr. Coffee goes back into the closet till the next time...

lost

22. Get the to the nearest Kwik Shop for a big cup of coffee!

[Der Blaue Engel]

23. Tell it to get a job
