This week, after the coffee maker quit, Mom bought two coffee makers. The second is the backup unit.

  Electric, stove-top percolator, or press? She should also check out cold brewing. -Blast, coffee addict

Percolators and french presses could be a great alternative. They can be operated even without electric power. I decided to go with a french press some time ago and I never looked back to drip coffee. The coffee is very nice - partly to exclusively using fresh grounds. I am contemplating on getting a titanium version of the french press. Today I made all my coffee using only a cat can stove for heating the water. That was a nice excercise for the use of the alcohol stove.

Another vote for french press.  During power outages, I just use a canister stove to heat water, rather than the microwave.  There are many alternative methods to heat water and the resulting product is great

Mom also has a percolator. Given that she has an automatic drip, a backup automatic drip, and a percolator, she has her coffee needs covered.

+ 1 for French press I have two glass ones, and they are great, but one of them is a bit loose.  The glass cylinder is a bit bigger than the plunger.  Next time I buy one, I will open the box and put it together to check for the fit.

 I'm picturing the scene from "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" where Tuco is assembling a pistol from assorted different guns.     -Blast
