Of course you can. A camp stove and a French Press work great.

All coffee addicts must have a plan B for when there's no electricity. If
you can boil water, you can create a coffee "bag" like a tea bag out of a
filter and just drop it in boiling water. Never tried this so if it works
let me know. lol

A little sterno stove can come in handy for a half decent cup of instant
coffee and it's ultra portable.

Camp coffee..... like Turkish coffee. use finely ground coffee, toss the
coffee in a container with water, bring it to a boil, take it off the
boil, let it sit, pour into cups. Do not drink it to the bottom of the cup.
The big problem for most people will be the cream and sugar. Not a
problem for me because I drink coffee black.

I second the idea of a French Press. Infinitely better coffee than
instant, and doesn't really take any extra effort. (Assuming you have
a french press, of course. I bought a french press travel mug for ~$10
or so at Target for when staying at hotels.

I had no electricity for most of the day after our recent earthquake
and the ability to make a cup of coffe was what I missed most.

AI assume a "french press" is what we call a "plunger pot". Good, but
even better is the old ibrik and a cup of coffe made the traditional
way. . . .

Just felt another little 'quake.

Yes...Go outside and use the propane burner aka gas grill. We only make
filter coffee so it's easy without the current. In a pinch boil the
water and pour it over the ground coffee in a large mug. Let steep and
drink, avoiding the grounds.

In addition to the other good ideas expressed, one can buy 12 volt
coffee brewers for your auto presuming that you have one available.
They make one cup at a time in most cases and are reasonably priced.
Don't forget to have sugar and powdered creamer available if desired.

I just put them in the old cast-iron grinder and crank the handle.
Works every time.

Since my house was GREATLY effected in the 94 quake. Many of my neighbors
short circuited some didn't even know or better said could not figure out
how to make a pot of coffee. We were without power for several days, TV was
unavailable. The stores had no power and could not sell things. The built
up crud in the sewer system dislodged and the my toilets backed up. Not
only that we could now leave the area because several freeways fell.

So why post such drivel? The answer is obvious. People will think. At least
they'll have a nice warm cup of coffee.

Dimitri.

Of course... I make very good coffee in my new Farberware percolator
on my gas stove... I'd use it all the time but it's more work to
clean.

I have a Melita cone filter stashed away for just that reason.
And a couple of ways to heat water without electricity.

Several areas here in SoCal lost power yesterday (9/27) due to overload
on the power system from air conditioning during all-time record heat.
113 degrees F in Los Angeles. No earthquake required. The prediction
is possible thunderstorms tomorrow, which can also cause power outages.

Last ditch backup is instant. No, I take that back. I have some
caffeine tablets.
