Mauser3006 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have a massive stash of coffee beans and it occured to me the other day that if the power was out I'd be stumped. So I invested £8 in a hand coffee bean grinder which I am amazed to find works incredibly well. I'm so pleased with it I'm going to get another for a rainy day. It occured to me that there are probably lots of things out there which are dependent upon electricity but which have simple non-electrical solutions i.e. a meat grinder for mince or a mangle for drying clothes and it might be worth investing in a few for the day the power goes out for a month. Does anyone have any other tips and tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I use a Smart Cafe mug for under a tenner and they are double skinned to keep contents warm. I usually get a couple of thousand cups of coffee out of mine. https://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Zyliss-Smart-Cafe-Hot-Cafetiere-Mug-Red/87799011?sku=87799011&parentContainer=&voucherCode=&dnr=y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewsh Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 i have a handpresso look suspect in its packaging but works a treat and delivers a proper espresso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
