SpillthebeansW56: My coffee when the electricity is not in our favor. ☕🌎

Greetings friends, today I'm going to answer option number 2 in the Spillthebeans challenge.

Debatable Prompt: In a dystopian future, electricity has been made illegal. How do you prepare and enjoy your coffee in this changed world?

I have to confess that the #spillthebeans theme of the week was very funny to me because even though electricity is not illegal in our country, making coffee without using electric coffee makers has been part of our daily lives since ancient times. So that changed world is already part of my present in terms of not depending on electricity to prepare my traditional coffee. 😄

Our ancestors lived in the countryside where electricity was not even known, because of that lifestyle to the natural it became a tradition to prepare coffee in stone or clay stoves using wood to cook this exquisite drink. And it was strained using the typical cloth or canvas strainer, which is completely manual.

Later the gas stove would be used until today, which is the one that we commonly use either using the traditional cloth strainer or the coffee pot that is placed on the stove and automatically prepares the coffee.

A few years ago in Venezuela we had several days in a row without electricity, which was a pretty rough experience but it was not inconvenient for Venezuelans to prepare our morning coffee and be able to pass that bitter time.

So if in that dystopian future electricity became illegal, I would surely prepare my coffee in my greca coffee maker on the gas stove. But since gas is also becoming scarce, if I didn't have gas I would place two stones with firewood and there I would heat the water to prepare my morning or afternoon cinnamon coffee, I would never be stranded without coffee because I didn't have electricity.

"Coffee is the engine that moves the world for us." 😊

I hope you can continue to enjoy delicious coffee even if electricity is not in our favor. A big hug 🤗☕
