Anyone still use a percolator?

Or have you all become slaves to electricity?
 
The trend seems to be those one cup machines.


I happen to think just one cup is unAmerican.

My boss put one in at work. Little plastic cups. I use it for my tea. Gets the water hot, but not hot like boiling water.
A whole pot!
For all!

Share the coffee.
 
I drip. Actually Cold Drip... It's an arcane process where a pound of coffee is drip saturated by a measured (liter and a half?) of water. It is allowed to sit for a couple of days then, the essence (coffee concentrate) is filtered and collected - stored in the fridge. About 2 ounces to a mug of boiled water gives great coffee. So, cold drip then essence to hot water...
 
Who perked?

When?

My mother's mom perked, and then made Pancakes!!!

My mom perked when I was little....I drank my first coffee from a percolator *nostalgia*

Mmm...pancakes.... I like them best when they're cooked in the pan I just made bacon in....they get that sorta-salty-sorta-bacony taste....

Nothing spur of the moment about this process.

Hats off to your dedication to the coffee.

I use an electric percolator, so both, I guess.

I'll often put vanilla or cinnamon in the basket with the coffee grounds. Can't really taste it in the coffeee, but it sure does make the kitchen smell good.

My grandmother never shared her coffee.
But often did the cooking of the pancakes in bacon fat.

Good stuff.
 
I miss the sound of the perking.

The pleasant simplicity of it.

Been looking for perkers.

Good memories of being on a sailboat as a kid tied up to a log boom. Waking up to the coffee pot percolating on the stove.

Sounded like my old man snoring.

It was happiness to my memories.
