Re: Coffee Percolator
I only choose percolation for camping and when making coffee by the gallon, for the sake of convenience. I'm not a fan of cycling the beverage through the grounds. I started my coffee addiction using the old family drip pot, with the basket that twisted onto the bottom of the perforated water "reservoir" I have good memories of the coffee back then.
For a modern regular coffeemaker, I liked my Cuisinart Brew Central a lot. The best feature was the adjustable temperature for the hot plate. The low setting kept the coffee at a good drinking temperature without ruining it in a matter of minutes. Every thermal carafe I've tried has had a "thermos" smell to it that I can't warm up to (no pun intended)
If your into French press, though, I doubt you'd love a gravity brewer like the Brew Central. I've put mine on indefinite layoff, as I've switched to pressure brewed drinks from my superauto "coffee center". I keep a little Melitta cone on hand for a change of pace.
OK, I guess I wasn't much help, but I couldn't resist a coffee thread.
