Crap

My coffee plunger plunged to the floor and shattered.

Yes, I cried.

Ah well, instant for me then.

Until you solve the brwing problem, try kopi jawa. A big spoon of finely ground coffee in the bottom of a mug, with sugar. Let it sit for a minute or two, stir it then turn the mug threee times, gently, so the grounds will settle. Or brew Greek-style, in a saucepan. You may never sleep again, but you wil get good coffee.

Good god. I already am having enough problems trying to sleep!

I loved the Balinese coffee when I was there a decade or so ago. One morning it gave me palpitations. But oh god it was so good!

Another option: just put the grounds in a bit of cheesecloth, pour the hot water over, soak to taste.

Or grab a few paper coffee filters and a pour-over cone, though that benefits from a bit of a finer grind than French-press coffee.
