My coffee machine is broken, and it's 6:25 in the morning, so there's nowhere I can buy a new one!
And I live in forest/arable country, so there are no coffee shops local places to get take-away coffee!
My only consolation is that I can say "I told you so!" to the missus, who, despite my protests, threw away the "sit on top of the cup" coffee-filter holder -- but that doesn't get me coffee!

Make the coffee Turkish-style:
- Open the packet of grounds (or the capsule)
- Pour the grounds into your mug
- Boil the kettle (or boil water in a saucepan...)
- As soon as the water boils, pour it over the grounds
- Stir, and leave the grounds to settle
- Add sugar / sweetener, if needed, stir again, and leave the grounds to settle
- Drink, leaving the last bit with the grounds
It may not be what you're used to, but it'll give you your caffeine fix.

Get yourself to the garage, and with common household tools and materials, follow the instructions in this video: Making An Espresso ... Pot![^]
The video is only half an hour, so it won't take you long.

Love that guy's videos, but I only have woodworking machines.
However, you did remind me that I have three espresso pots -- so I dug out the biggest one and put it to good use!
Cheers!

I have no metalworking equipment at all, but he is just brilliant!
He knows what he is doing, explains it well, does the video and post production superbly.
He is a shining example of "how to make a tutorial video" unlike 99.999% of the software ones out there. Who wants to watch you type, correct, correct again, forget the names, say "um" and "er" for twenty minutes, ... and end up with "hello world"?
I am soooo tempted to buy a TIG welder, even though I have no metal to melt together ...

macgyver it.
necessity is the mother of invention
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

1, Campfire
2. Clean out empty tin can
3. Boil water
4. Throw coffee powder into hot water.
5. Wait a minute-
6. Give everyone in your squad a share.
7 Kick all who want to lay aside their rifle or equipment a kick into the rear parts.
Don't forget to set up a defensive paerimeter during the ceremony, bury all remains like the ashes of the campfire and then move out for another fun day in the woods. Give them hell.
Even I know that and I am no addict of that stuff at all. Better than leading a team of unhappy boyscouts the whole day.

Your Boy Scouts have rifles?

Yes. That particular branch of the boyscouts calls itself Luftwaffe. Usually they had air defense missiles to play with, but once in a while we had a field day and played infantery.

Not understanding such a simple abstraction would have been a sure way to end up with the infantry grunts.

So it's you who is responsible for this musty, muddy smell?

That's punishment for not owning also a moka pot. Even in most offices there is someone who has its own + electric stove (or the new combo units).
I have a capsule machine at home but I have also a moka at hand and at least 2 spares (mostly gifts from relatives but still...).

I hate to say this, but you're doomed.
Drop us a message when you reach the other side and let us know if there's coffee.

Paper towel and a strainer.
Or simply pour coffee powder into pot of hot water, stir and wait until it settled before serving.

If you have any plastic device, like a PVC tube, somewhere in the house, and a bit of tape, it will do perfectly as a coffee filter holder.
