Whereneverever Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 My coffee maker broke last night. I usually consume an insane amount of caffeine during the day, so I have a headache brewing. On top of this 2 of my children are sick. Hive mind- how can I make coffee without a coffee pot? Bonus points if I can do it while holding the baby. HELP ME!

slug hollow Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 You can put a strainer or colander over a pan, put in a coffee filter and coffee and slowly pour boiling water through the coffee. You can also improvise with a rubberband and tupperware. Yeah, I live on the edge. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachaheart Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Make it as if you were making tea from loose tea. Boil the water. If you have a tea pot, put the coffee grounds in the pot and fill with the boiling water. Put the lid on the pot and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. If you have a funnel, put a coffee filter in it and slowly pour the coffee from the pot into your mug through the filtered funnel. If you do not have a tea pot, use any container (preferably glass) with a lid that can hold very hot liquids. If you don't have a funnel, a fine mesh strainer of some sort will work.

jenn- Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Proceed straight to WalMart. Invest in new machine. Stop at Starbucks in route so you can survive the WalMart trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas- my Wal-Mart (or any store open on Sunday) is more then 30 minutes away, and I think the nearest Starbucks is over an hour away. Hence my panic!

Hence my panic! Ah, quite understandable. My WalMart has a McDonald's in it, so if I was desperate enough I would buy it from them. I hope you find a way to brew it to your liking.
