Coffee grounds, coffee filter, stapler. Make a big ‘tea bag’ with the coffee filter..your preferred amount of coffee grounds on the filter…fold it over…roll the edges so the grounds cannot escape…staple shut for better security…place your now named Coffee Bag in the amount of water you usually make bring to a boil. Remove from heat let steep for a couple of minutes …enjoy.

I’ve been caught before this is an emergency fix for an addict.
