Most percolators are meant to use a coarser ground of coffee than what most pre-packaged coffee is ground to today. Companies used to make different grinds for different types of coffee makers but nowadays they all just about only have the finer ground meant for drip coffee makers. Personally I don't mind a few grounds in a cup as to me it still tastes better than drip coffee.
Thanks for watching! Just purchased a Bodum french press set not to long ago, may do a video on that next. Been wanting to get some pour over pots as well.
I have the Cuisinart percolator. It makes darn good hot coffee. As you referenced, it would be nice if the steel was a little thicker and had a glass top. I don’t think it has any effect on the outcome though. I buy whole beans from a local roaster and grind them in my Baratza Encore grinder on setting 24 and use the Melita percolator filters.
Thank you for this great review! It really helped make a decision to buy my first percolator! Wish you compared it to the HB or the Faberware and said which was your favorite! 😊🙏
I need an electric perculator with a timer or strength changer basically. I bought a perculator, I think it was the Presto one and it doesnt brew long enough to make good coffee. It just gets to boil and stops brewing. It wont be good unless it brews it for a few minutes or so. I dont know whats wrong with all these perculators but Ive literally only seen like 1 decent one on the market, that has a timer, so I bought that one and love it. WTF though? GOd all these other ones suck, or I dont know what Im doing wrong then.
What I would like to know, is, does the coffee stay hot as long as you have the pot plugged in? My current percolator sits on a base with the cord attached to it and it shuts off after 2 hours and it may take me 3 hours to finish off a pot of coffee.
I’m thinking of going back to this style and found your videos! So thank you for making them. That being said, which do you recommend? As you described the thin metal and plastic knob, this would seem looking for one a little more beefy
I'd go with the Farberware model as it is a bit better granted they don't make them like they used to as the saying goes. There is no plastic knob though. Thanks for checking out my vids!
Just to update the knob on the Farberware is plastic but the water does not perc into it so there is no contact with the plastic. Just noticed that this morning.
Never tried but it might not operate well using that small amount of water. The least amount marked on the pot is 6 cups. To add, check out the smaller Presto model which offers 2 cup brewing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w20gord7YnE.html
Holy crap, I really hate it when people slurps there drinks. There is no reason for ANYONE to slurp there coffee. It is rude and sounds like a pig eating and drinking.
