Anybody still use a coffee percolator?
Since I've gotten down on my Cuisinart Grind & Brew some months ago, I made the switch to a Bodum French Press and I've been extremely pleased with it.
But I'm always curious about coffee brewing methods. So, I dug out a 35 year old, really old-fashioned stove top coffee percolator this morning and just used some truly crappy Folgers coffee and -- DAMN if it didn't produce an excellent cup!
I was all set to buy an $80 stainless steel percolator from Williams-Sonoma, but this old leftover that hasn't been used since Carter was in office works great!
Any thoughts on percolators? Pros? Cons? Stove top versus electric?
