Remember this coffee pot and the peculated coffee it produced?
Still using an electric one, but, I have a spare one just like this for emergency (or motor home) use.

I finally got rid of my clear glass Pyrex pot, it made great coffee.
Years ago I had one of the chrome plated electric models that I used to set up after dinner, when I was cleaning up the kitchen, and plug it into a lamp timer so the coffee would be ready in the morning when I stumbled into the kitchen.

For most of my life, I drank perked coffee. Although I now have a drip unit on my counter, I still own two percolators (one stainless and one aluminum). I always forget how much hotter perked coffee is but the first sip reminds me.

I still have an old fashioned, stove top percolator that I inherited, as well as a drip-o-lator coffee pot too.
But I used a modern coffee maker for years after the house was mine.
Then I became concerned that the new device might be passing micro plastics into my coffee, so I reactivated the old fashioned alternative.
But the percolator makes a slightly more bitter brew than the drip-o-lator. So I boil water now and pour it into the drip style pot.

That was the only coffee pot I remember growing up. Lotās of times it was left on too hot a flame and it boiled over!

Perked smelled the best but was bitter.
Pressed or Drip coffee tastes the best imo.

I remember those. I never drank coffee and still don't. But I used to enjoy the smell of it brewing.

I remember my parents had a percolator and when it started to percolate, the whole kitchen smelled with the aroma of coffee. Itās one of those scents I never forgot. When I went to live with my grandparents, they also had a percolator until it went on the fritz and then they bought a Mr. Coffee. It still put out the same aroma.
