So I did something stupid and dropped the water tank for my breville barista express and cracked it after filling it up

I’ve already ordered a replacement but don’t want to be coffee deprived while waiting for the replacement to come so what are some coffee drinks that can be made with instant coffee

Also, tips on not dropping an espresso machine water tank would be appreciated

    I know it’s not going to help in your immediate situation, but you could always get an aeropress or v60 or something for when you just want coffee and not an espresso.

      Why wouldn’t it help? Even smaller towns have cafés now where they can buy one so that’s honestly what I’d do as well. And if they have an espresso machine at home it’s almost certain that they’d prefer those to drinking instant coffee.

      So yeah, seconding the aeropress. V60 is a bit more tricky to make but also cool, ofc. There’s ofc also the middle ground which is the clever dripper/hario switch.

        I mean yeah if you can pick up locally it is an immediate remedy. If you need to order it, the espresso tank will likely arrive about the same time the aeropress would.
