What are the times that you will need to brew coffee without electricity? Of course, there is a catch involved because you will still need to have a way to have hot water, so these methods are not necessarily suitable if your power is out. However, one of the greatest devices to have on hand is a French Press, which does not use electricity, making it convenient and environmentally friendly.
Likewise, Bodum, the popular creators of the French Press, also offer a small coffee brewing device that is not a French Press, called the Café Solo. This is an interesting little coffee brewer that also does not require electricity, and it will create a single cup serving for your pleasure. To use this brewer, spoon two rounded tablespoons of grounds inside of the mesh filter basket. After that, you will place the water strainer on top of the mesh filter so that the coffee grounds are pressed between. After that, place the upper filter basket on the glass cup within the mechanism, and pour the water that has just finish boiling through the top filter basket and cover. Allow the coffee to drip into the glass coffee cup for several minutes, and you will be able to have a sip of fresh and delicious coffee directly out of the glass cup that it brewed in!
Of course, the Café Solo is somewhat different than a Coffee Press, although it still uses drip brewing. But it is also beneficial because it uses a mesh filter and not paper filters so that the essential oils will not be removed in the brewing process. This is something that many people may want to use if they are in their office, especially if they have a water cooler with a hot water tap on it nearby. Within this method, you would not need electricity whatsoever, and all you would have to do is fill up the Café Solo with the hot water from the water cooler to have a quick and incredibly fresh cup of Joe at your desk.
Other than that, the French Press made available by Bodum comes in an infinite amount of models and styles. This will give you the capability to add hot water to coarse coffee grounds to allow them to steep for four minutes. After that is done, press the plunger down directly to remove the coffee grounds from your brewed coffee, and there you have it! You have the pleasure of drinking a fresh and fragrant cup of coffee!
This type of coffee brewing method without electricity is helpful for anytime you are not at home with your drip brew coffee maker. In fact, if you are going on a camping trip or anything along those lines, you can use the Café Solo or a travel French Press to create a quick cup of Joe that you can even enjoy in the wilderness.
