Now I know prediction is not possible...

Just the same I'm going to have a few extra propane bottles filled.

The most important point.........

If there is no electricity can you make a reasonable cup of COFFEE?

Of course you can. A camp stove and a French Press work great.

All coffee addicts must have a plan B for when there's no electricity. If
you can boil water, you can create a coffee "bag" like a tea bag out of a
filter and just drop it in boiling water. Never tried this so if it works
let me know. lol

Camp coffee..... like Turkish coffee. use finely ground coffee, toss the
coffee in a container with water, bring it to a boil, take it off the
boil, let it sit, pour into cups. Do not drink it to the bottom of the cup.
The big problem for most people will be the cream and sugar. Not a
problem for me because I drink coffee black.

I second the idea of a French Press. Infinitely better coffee than
instant, and doesn't really take any extra effort. (Assuming you have
a french press, of course. I bought a french press travel mug for ~$10
or so at Target for when staying at hotels.

I had no electricity for most of the day after our recent earthquake
and the ability to make a cup of coffe was what I missed most.

AI assume a "french press" is what we call a "plunger pot". Good, but
even better is the old ibrik and a cup of coffe made the traditional
way. . . .

Yes...Go outside and use the propane burner aka gas grill. We only make
filter coffee so it's easy without the current. In a pinch boil the
water and pour it over the ground coffee in a large mug. Let steep and
drink, avoiding the grounds.

In addition to the other good ideas expressed, one can buy 12 volt
coffee brewers for your auto presuming that you have one available.
They make one cup at a time in most cases and are reasonably priced.
Don't forget to have sugar and powdered creamer available if desired.

I just put them in the old cast-iron grinder and crank the handle.

Since my house was GREATLY effected in the 94 quake. Many of my neighbors
short circuited some didn't even know or better said could not figure out
how to make a pot of coffee. We were without power for several days, TV was
unavailable. The stores had no power and could not sell things. The built
up crud in the sewer system dislodged and the my toilets backed up. Not
only that we could now leave the area because several freeways fell.

So why post such drivel? The answer is obvious. People will think. At least
they'll have a nice warm cup of coffee.

Of course... I make very good coffee in my new Farberware percolator
on my gas stove... I'd use it all the time but it's more work to
clean.

I have a Melita cone filter stashed away for just that reason.
And a couple of ways to heat water without electricity.

Several areas here in SoCal lost power yesterday (9/27) due to overload
on the power system from air conditioning during all-time record heat.
113 degrees F in Los Angeles. No earthquake required. The prediction
is possible thunderstorms tomorrow, which can also cause power outages.

Last ditch backup is instant. No, I take that back. I have some
caffeine tablets.

While never being affected by an earthquake, I sure have been affected by
power outages that last days and days. One time almost a week. The first
time I ended up leaving and getting a hotel for one night to have some of
the comforts of home. It was summer and hot and when you don't have hot
water to even wash up or clean up the sink and dishes, it's totally gross.
The last time was Isobel here in MD and power was out again nearly a week.
We couldn't even get dry ice because the only place giving it away ran out
before the huge line of people got through it. Couldn't even buy it
anywhere.

One of the MD power companies has had really bad luck this year, but I'm not
one of their customers. We had a period of a month where every time the
wind blew the power went out for hundreds of thousands.

I got a generator after Isobel but again, you have to be prepared in case
you can't get gas to power it. I haven't had to use it yet. Knock wood.

I have at least seven levels of coffee backup: Two separate gas
generators and a large inverter in the diesel truck provide three levels
of backup power to keep coffee production devices operating. My kitchen
stove and camper stove are both LP fueled, so they can do coffee water
without power, and I also have a separate liquid fueled camp stove as
another option. If for some reason all of those failed, I could collect
some firewood.

Most Americans seem to think that one day an earthquake will cause the
Peoples Republik of Kalifornia to fall off into the Pacific Ocean.
Kalifornians seem to think the rest of the world will disappear and they
will continue to exist as an island.

We have a gas stove, a teakettle and a filter cone. We're set.

I realize that you are joking, but the geography and geology are quite
interesting (at least to me, 20 miles from the San Andreas fault). The
continent of North America is on one plate, and the Pacific Ocean is on
another. They rotate in opposite directions. That's where most of the
big earthquakes around here come from. There is only one tiny piece of
land on the continental United States that is on the Pacific Plate, the
Point Reyes Peninsula. Here's a map:

http://www.nps.gov/pwr/customcf/apps...code=pore&park
name=Point%20Reyes%20National%20Seashore

As you can see, it looks barely connected! It used to be down by LA, is
now just north of San Francisco, and will be up by Alaska shortly (a few
tens of millions of years). My wife and I were out there hiking on
Saturday.

Every time! I took a coat on Saturday, even though it was predicted to
be 90 degrees where we live, 20 miles away. If the breeze is coming in
off the ocean, it's cold. It wasn't that day, so I never put on my coat.
