After Irma, I was without power... but it didn't stop me from having my french press coffee. Unfortunately I couldn't use my grinder, so I had to use ground coffee, but you know, natural disasters allow for such things.



...but as others have said, there are car camping types of stoves that use the more readily available coleman propane canisters that are more stable for full sized pots and pans. I'd go that route for a non-hiker.
