Thinking Outside the Pot

Above is our coffee making "apparatus" in our self catering flat.  They do not have a coffee pot, or a tea pot for that matter.

As DD1 and DD2 can tell you, I need caffeine in the morning and you want me to have it if you are anywhere near me. :-)

Going from left to right:  the electric super fast hot water heater, the big metal bowl that belongs on the kitchen scale, the metal colander, the large saucepan.

First, heat the water in the elerctric pot.

Second, place the ground coffee into the bottom of the saucepan.

Third, pour hot water over the ground coffee and stir.

Fourth, wait about 5 minutes.

Fifth, put colander into large metal bowl.

Sixth, line colander well with paper towel or prepare to chew your coffee. :-)

Eighth, pour mixture in saucepan into colander and let liquid drain into the metal bowl and grounds remain in colander, hopefully.

Ninth, pour coffee into cups.

Enjoy!
