A gas camp stove + french press is my portable kit that I would also use in such an occassion. However, the camp stoves are not for indoor use really.

Glad you got your electricity back! The weather condition seem to be really exceptional in the US right now. Stay safe!

Here the morning starts with coffee (americano) and writing Christmas cards. Merry Christmas to you all!

Hmmm… in a pinch I wouldn’t mind sitting in the car with a cup of coffee brewing… I just didn’t like missing my morning coffee after a very cold night. LOL, that was roughing it!

I must avoid those kinds of tragic events in the future even if I have to order a delivery from Starbucks via a 3rd party!

Oh, what a lovely photo to share on Christmas Eve!!! I wish my little Leica Cave was not so cluttered, and then I could share a photo from here.

Thank you for that!!!:):):)

Wow Dave, I had no idea it was that cold in ATL today. Living in FL I keep a propane burner in working order outside just for coffee and food basics if needed.

I also have a small French press type of coffee brewer powered by a small 8 oz tank of isobutane/propane fuel mix. This could come in handy for emergencies too and it says it is for outdoor use only which is logical.

It is called the JetBoil Flash-Lite. Will get it out and look further at it, but it has the push-down filter for making French Press coffee of your choice. It even has its own flint. Well made.

In your situation one cannot get their Ember coffee cup to work though.

A nice way to start off on Christmas morning - a nice cup of half caf (a mix of freshly-ground Trader Joe’s French Roast decaf and - MMM-MMM! - Tim Hortons dark roast). All done up in a Chemex pour-over and served in my $0.50 Billings, Montana Goodwill mug. Complementing it all with a slice of panettone and a beautiful and highly-functional Bronica S2 adorned with a stellar 50/3.5 Nikkor.

Having a quiet Christmas afternoon with my wife and son home from grad school. They see me with my tripod and camera kit and ask what I am doing. I say, going to make a cup of coffee 😄

I got a book on lighting techniques for Christmas, so I had to combine that with coffee and camera, right? Below shot with Hasselblad CFV II 50C back on Cambo Actus DB. Using Nikkor SW 65mm with a little swing to get the grinder somewhat in focus too.

I recently stumbled upon a completely new kind of coffee to me called "Mr. Toi". It is pure robusta, however due to special processing it exhibits a very balanced taste profile I never would have expected.

Let me share its profile card here:

The type of cup is called "Kuksa" in Finnish - it's a traditional cup used by the indigenous people of the north, Sami, and it's carved out of Birch wood. It's very nice as it flavours the coffee just a tiny little bit and the cup never gets too hot :)

Very interesting… and it appears to be “right-handed”? I love these carved utensils. The beauty of it is better than any modern art coffee cups I have seen. Thanks! Great photo!

The Finnish customs tales, however says, you can never buy such a thing. You always have to get it as a gift from a friend. Oopps, I bought mine….

Oh, I started a Kuksa movement :) I got mine as a gift, following the tale. It was handmade in Rovaniemi.

The real news was in the small print: it was one of the first shots with my new digital back.

Anyone, congratulations on the digital back. Where did you get that Kuksa? That's one of the most elegant modern designs I've seen for a Kuksa. I've never seen that one in all my many trips to Finland, can you share where you got it? Kind regards, Glenn
