well, maybe not - but it seems like a dire emergency to me! It seems my wife accidentally put a part (the strainer funnel) of our Moka stovetop espresso maker into a trash bag that was picked up off the dock. Serious recovery efforts ensued. I come to the BVI to dive, but I didn't know it would be in Moorings' giant off-property garbage dumpster. Moka Pot (Wikipedia link) Pounds of special stovetop grind Brazilian Peaberry aboard and no way to make it! Yes, there are of course alternatives, but at the risk of asking the ridiculous: Can anyone think of a place on Tortola that could possibly carry such an espresso machine? Can you hear the desperation in my voice??

ouch! That is a disaster. It's the little things in life. Wish I could help, truely.
(and aren't you on a substitute boat this trip?) Thanks, though I'm making instant right now I think I will live :-) Yes, we are on "Monashee" now, having had to return "Maupiti" to the dock.

Just checked, and this is the only stovetop we have left. You're welcome to it. I bet House will have an espresso pot.
Thanks so much for the offer! House?

House is a lovely housewares store, where I spend too much money - at least according to Ratman! As you turn into the Moorings at the traffic light, it is on your left next to Tico, across from where the French Deli was (and CTL before that). As you enter the store, most of the kitchen stuff is on your right. https://housebvi.com/
