"When the power goes out at home, some people miss using the internet, watching TV, or going about their business without needing a flashlight - but coffee fanatics might miss their java the most. With no way to power your electric stove, kettle, or coffee machine, it might seem like all hope is lost for your morning cuppa. On the contrary, there are a few ways to make coffee without power, some of which don't even require special equipment."
"If you have no way of heating up water when the lights go out, cold brew coffee is the no-power method for you. It takes more time and planning than other routes to a cup of coffee, but is easily the most accessible, requiring no special equipment or techniques. All you have to do is combine ground coffee with cold or room temperature water in a pitcher or container."
When power fails at home, electric coffee appliances become unusable but several alternative brewing methods remain available. Brewing choices depend on access to hot water; instant coffee is the simplest when hot water exists. If only beans or grounds are available, methods such as cold brew, stovetop heating (using a gas stove, camping stove, or grill), and no-hot-water techniques can produce fresh coffee. Grinding beans ahead of time or using a hand-powered grinder increases options. Cold brew requires combining grounds with cold or room-temperature water, steeping 12–24 hours, and straining for a smooth, less bitter cup.
