My coffee machine broke last night and is being sent away for repair and they are giving me a loan machine when they collect it. The trouble is they can't collect it until Wednesday next week.

I'm struggling already without it. I made coffee in a French press this morning but it's just not the same

Is it too early to have a gin and tonic instead?

Buy a small jar of Nescafé to tide you over?

"Vodka and red bull

I can't drink red bull. The caffeine in it makes me physically sick but for some weird reason copious cups of coffee is fine.

I tried a cup of instant coffee last night and it was vile - I couldn't drink it so had a gin instead

most fundamental aspects

I get around the issue of my machine potentially breaking by having multiple back ups.

An Aeropress - check them out. Great for travelling with and make a coffee you would think was made by a barista.

A “spare” machine - It’s a Krups and if it wasn’t for my main machine also having a timer to let me wake up to coffee, it would be my front line machine.

Vietnamese drip filters - ideal for making iced coffee when the weather is warmer.

One of those plunger cups - last resort, as it makes coffee a bit like a French press and gets grounds mixed in at the bottom of the cup.

Yes #coffeesnob

Just make sure you descale the machine regularly and it will prolong the life of it

As nice as a coffee is, I rarely have it due to it giving you teacher breath

Don't really think your problem is a broken coffee machine?

My local go to Cafe has been closed for 3 weeks for a refurb, I'm dying for one of their coffees, no other is as good as theirs imo. Sigh
