Stay at home moms, like you, are busy bees. They can finish many tasks on a single day and ensure the best care for their kids and husbands. It is not surprising that you are the much-loved heroes of the planet.

Are you aware that 45% of Americans use a drip coffee machine, while another 42% have a single-cup brewer? The rest of the bunch does not have one.

Some people may prefer to use the traditional method. Other times, you may decide to bring your family on a camping trip.

Coffee maker broken or no electricity? There are several options available for making coffee without a machine, so choose wisely. Check out these methods!Click To Tweet

What do you do if you want a cup of coffee but do not have access to electricity or your coffee maker breaks?

You probably checked websites for some ideas on brewing coffee without a machine. You also found us, so aside from being an excellent homemaker, you are a skillful private eye too!

Here are some ways to enjoy your cup of coffee without your trusty coffee maker. 

Brew Your Coffee on a Stovetop


Some people are old school. They want to make their coffee the traditional way.

For others, if your machine breaks or there is no power, you can brew coffee on a gas range.

What You Need

  • Six ounces cold water
  • One tablespoon of coffee
  • Small saucepan
  • Optional: Sugar and creamer

How to Brew

Bring to a boil the water and coffee in the saucepan over medium heat. Stir a few times while boiling for two minutes and switch off the stove and let it cool for four minutes.

Pour your coffee into your favorite cup. Add sugar and cream, if desired.

Faux French Press

You will enjoy the same results as you would using a French Press.

What You Need

  • Six ounces water
  • One tablespoon coffee
  • Saucepan
  • Deep bowl
  • Spoon
  • Optional: Sugar and creamer

How to Brew

Put the coffee in a deep bowl. Add a small amount of boiling water to saturate the coffee grounds. Press them using a spoon and pour the liquid into your cup.

Add the rest of the water into your cup.

Brew the Turkish Way


If you want a rich, foamy, and thick brew, you may want to try this Turkish method.

What You Need

  • Six ounces cold water
  • One tablespoon coffee
  • Small saucepan
  • Optional: Creamer and sugar

How to Brew

Heat the cold water and coffee in the saucepan over low heat. Remove the saucepan from heat when the water is about to boil. Skim off the foam and put it in your cup.

Reheat the saucepan and remove it once the water gets near the boiling point. Pour half of the coffee into your mug. Boil the remaining coffee for 15 seconds and pour it into your cup.

Wait for about three minutes to allow the beans to sink to the bottom. Brewing coffee beans at home can be a bit difficult, but there are some benefits to knowing how to do it. Once you purchase the fresh beans, you can prepare them for brewing and make them fit your taste buds best.

Use a Steeped Coffee Bag



Steeped Coffee doesn't require any special equipment to make a premium cup of coffee. Now you can have single-serve convenience no matter where you are. Steeped Coffee is brewed similar to tea and can be brewed hot or cold.

What is Steeped Coffee

Each Steeped Coffee Bag contains premium hand-roasted ground coffee (not instant). It's available in five different varieties, including light, medium, dark, and french roast, as well as decaf.

Each pack is nitro sealed to keep everything fresh.

Plus, all of their packagings is fully compostable so that you can have a great-tasting cup of coffee guilt-free!

What You Need

  • Steeped Coffee Bags
  • Mug
  • Eight ounces water
  • Optional: Sugar and cream

How to Brew

breakfast

Place a Steeped Coffee Bag inside a mug and slowly pour over 8oz of water. For added strength, dunk the Steeped Bag for up to 30 seconds.

You may leave the Steeped Bag in the cup or remove it — it's entirely up to your taste buds!

To cold brew, pour over 8oz of cold water, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Then, enjoy!

Steeped Coffee is available on Amazon as well as their website, where they offer subscriptions.

The Strainer Method

If your coffee maker breaks, and you want your dose of perk-me-up coffee, you do not need a quick trip to the grocery if you have a strainer.

What You Need

  • Six ounces water
  • One tablespoon coffee
  • Saucepan
  • Mesh strainer with tiny holes
  • Optional: Sugar and cream

How to Brew

Boil the water and coffee grounds in a saucepan. Use the strainer to pour the coffee into your mug. 

The Hanky Method


If you want something rustic and less expensive, you will like this environment-friendly brewing method.

What You Need

  • Six ounces hot water
  • One tablespoon coffee grounds
  • Clothespins or binder paper clips
  • Clean hanky or cheesecloth or linen

How to Brew

Put your hanky on top of your cup. Press lightly in the center to make space for the coffee grounds. Secure it with clothespins or binder clips.

Put the center and pour a little hot water. Let it seep into the coffee grounds for 30 seconds.

Pour the rest of the liquid slowly and ensure that the clips are steadfastly holding the hanky. Remove the hanky with the coffee grounds.

A Few Tips about Coffee

  • Consume your coffee beans within two weeks after roasting to enjoy the best cup
  • Grind only the beans that you will use for brewing
  • Ensure that the water temperature is around 200° Fahrenheit or 93° Celsius

A broken coffee maker is not a reason for you not to enjoy your favorite perk-me-up coffee. Use any of the methods above every time you need a cup or two to get you going throughout your busy day.

    I have heard people raving about campfire coffee, which, is similar to the stovetop method, but it is done on a campfire. Not ever having tried campfire coffee (or cowboy coffee), I think I will have to try the stovetop method. I would also like to get my hands on some of those steep bags similar to tea bags for when I am going camping or traveling to a hotel. The coffee supplied in hotel rooms is not the greatest.

      Right? Considering how long tea has been around you would have thought coffee would have joined in sooner.

    I really like Dunks coffee but when I can’t afford that. I usually make a donuts shop blend from Aldis.

      A lot of people seem to like donut shop coffee blends. I haven’t heard of dunks coffee before though.

    These are great ways to make coffee without electricity, thank you so much for sharing! I have used instant coffee before, but never made traditional coffee on the stove top before. I need to try it! My husband has been wanting a French Press as well, I have never used one but he loves them. These Steeped Coffee bags sound awesome!

      Steeped coffee isn’t instant coffee so if you aren’t a fan of that you may enjoy this
