Best electric coffee percolator?

[TheMan419]

"probably for city people who's part scientist and chemist"<<<< I never heard of one of those kinds of people being an IDIOT, leave it to City people, lawyer or a politician to put a bad spin on something, that just proves how different they are, I should know, I have two daughters living in a city, fortunately they grew up in the country in an old fashion Baptist church so the'r not snobbish.

Us lawyer types can live in the country too.

Yep, we have the Presto you bought, got it about a year ago, wife wanted a second one to put in camper, the Presto was not available so got a different one, has plastic knob on top so you can see it brewing.. half the time, it finishes percolating and still have just water, just unplug, let it cool a few minutes and start it again.. Presto never had that problem... may get it out of camper and put the intermittent one there..

We prefer percolator coffee after having many drip systems over the years. We also have a Verismo pod unit to make individual cups or expresso when the mood strikes.

I think you will enjoy the Presto.

You might be part politician cause I can't tell if you're taking a jab me at me or not.

I made a video of using my new Presto Percolator coffee maker you guys may be interested in.

Due to conditions beyond my control, the video is NSFW. You have been warned!

So I ended up buying the Presto I linked to in my first post (linked again below for your convenience) and I recieved it a week or so ago.

Makes great coffee! And Hot! No more having to preheat my coffee cup because of the low temp coffee from the drip-crap machine.

And of course, while I was waiting for my Presto to arrive, my lovely wife ordered an antique percolator that's supposed to be in excellent condition. She got it via an auction, don't know when it will arrive. The good news about that one is that it has the old glass coffee viewing doo-hickey on top, so you can watch the coffee brewing.

Thanks for the help with best camping coffee percolator!

Looking for something to make a whole thermos of coffee. 20-30oz. What do you guys use?

EDIT: Not instant. Not Via. Just no. I want to brew coffee. It's as much the brewing process as the drinking of it. I want to relax and enjoy my morning coffee ritual.

Mr Coffee Drip coffee maker. We started brewing and filling our Stanley thermos several months ago when our power was costing $O.58 per KWH. Coffee tastes much better when not left on the warmer all day. Saves a bunch of power also.

Got to thinking. Back in the 60's when the "drip" coffee makers started gaining traction, the major coffee brands started marketing different grinds depending on what you were using to brew it. I guess percolators required a coarser grind whereas the drips had the paper filter and could use a finer grind. I don't think I see that anymore.

The grocery stores that sell whole beans usually have a coffee grinder and you can select the coarseness of the grind.

Very intriguing. I like strong coffee/espresso stuff. I assume this is an occasional maker for you or do you use it daily?
