Coffee After the Apocalypse Tutorial: How to Go From Green Bean to Ravishing Roast Without Electricity
The big storm has knocked the power out. You don’t know how long it will be before it’s restored – it could be days, weeks, or months. You’ve been a good scout, and have the basics covered. Your family is fed, watered, and sheltered. But the instant coffee you stored for just such a situation is just not cutting it.
