    My coffee machine is broken, and it's 6:25 in the morning, so there's nowhere I can buy a new one! And I live in forest/arable country, so there are no coffee shops local places to get take-away coffee! My only consolation is that I can say "I told you so!" to the missus, who, despite my protests, threw away the "sit on top of the cup" coffee-filter holder -- but that doesn't get me coffee!

    I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

    That's punishment for not owning also a moka pot. Even in most offices there is someone who has its own + electric stove (or the new combo units). I have a capsule machine at home but I have also a moka at hand and at least 2 spares (mostly gifts from relatives but still...).

      I hate to say this, but you're doomed. Drop us a message when you reach the other side and let us know if there's coffee.

        Quite tame[^], actually.

        I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

          Paper towel and a strainer. Or simply pour coffee powder into pot of hot water, stir and wait until it settled before serving.

            If you have any plastic device, like a PVC tube, somewhere in the house, and a bit of tape, it will do perfectly as a coffee filter holder.

              Buy a kettle and a cafetiere; not much to go wrong with either of them.

                          I recommend you to get an italian espresso machine as a spare. Something similar to (first hit in a quick google search, no publicity of the product intended at all): Monix Vitro Express Mokkakannen für 3 Tassen, Aluminium, Edelstahl,: Amazon.de: Küche & Haushalt[^] They are pretty robust. I have one over 15 years (one / two uses a day several times a week) and still working fine. No running out of paper filters and you might use whatever heat source you find (only exception are the "new" induction fields).

                          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

                              I'm beginning to think that I should have paid attention to at least one of the Disaster Recovery presentations I've slept through at about 187 companies*. * And I wrote and presented a good dozen of them!
