How I rediscovered great tasting coffee 

Yep, those were great memories 👍

Same. I use a percolator when we’re camping or at the campfire here at home. My Gramma’s house had wood stoves, wonderful memories.

@@petebeasttexashomesteadingHi Pete thanks for you video !! So at the end of your video you say 7 mins. Do you wait for your coffee or boil or start hitting the glass knob? Then lower heat and start you 7 mins? Thanks!!

dont buy coffee grounds -- its 90 percent filler -- trees bark ??

I have those precious memories too! I was entertained as much as a kid could possibly be, total paradise, Norman Rockwell universe!

👍

My grandpa did the saucer too but he would drink it out of the saucer. lol By the time grandma had served others coffee he was ready for another cup lol Good memories of grandma and grandpa ❤

Yes I can remember someone in my past perhaps my mother and grandmother doing that to cool their coffee you brought back an old memory

We use a Mr Coffee drip coffee maker. It is Great ! ! !

i always hated how adults thought they were all that and you debunked that nonsense

Awesome 👍

👍

Me too

My dad had a glass Pyrex percolator, and we kids were not allowed to touch it for fear it would get broken. I checked on line & vintage Pyrex coffee pots are now very expensive.

Yup, my dad brewing up a pot to fill his thermos to take to work, or even better, to go fishing at 5 a.m. with me!

Awesome 👍

That is awesome! 👍

I hate electric appliances anywhere they aren't absolutely necessary, I'd rather brew some coffee on the stove over use an electric coffee maker any day of the week, so much more enjoyable and satisfying in my opinion and personally have never had an issue with having to fill a pot and ignite the stove after getting up, never noticed myself longing for a timed electrical appliance that can operate itself. I actually prefer the morning routine of grinding some beans half asleep and gradually coming alive as the coffee smell gets stronger and stronger lol

That 7-11 exclusive blend is UNDERRATED! 🔥

Drip coffee makers are abused .you shouldn't not keep it on after the coffee is made .you should drink it fast enough that it would stay hot for at least 20 mini minutes otherwise you are still cooking your brew

👍

👍🙂

Wow so this was a G-dsend to you. See our Father in heaven knew this ahead of time and loves you and Pete so much that HE put it into Pete's mind to make this video. Have a blessed weekend.

I put links to the coffee's I use in the description under the video, also try changing your diet. I used to be a heavy meat eater years ago and I had similar problems. I changed to a plant based diet and my heart burn and acid went away.

I cut out cookies and cake type desserts and any extra sugar and my heartburn went away

Try drinking room temperature lemon water first thing in the morning. It will help build stomach acid. 99% of diagnosed acid re-flux,too much acid, is actually low stomach acid. Apple cider vinegar before bed will help also. It is great in aiding the organs of digestion.

@@cristobalpacheco4202 - That seems to work for me, too. I think maybe it's the carb overload that causes the reflux.

Yep those are great memories. You just reminded me of going to my ant and uncles house, they would play scopa all evening and my ant would have her percolator coffee brewing. Good memories.👍

👍

Sounds like your dad had a Pyrex flameware percolator. There are my favorite. Its my go to pot every day. I've been using it for 20+ years. It makes the best coffee once you figure it out.

, I just gave away my Keurig and ordered a glass percolator, I haven't made coffee that way since I live with my mother in my twenties. I had to watch the video refresh my memory, LOL

Awesome 👍

Awesome thank you 👍

I remember a Pyrex percolator-style coffee maker. The only metal part was the stem and basket. Flashback time.

That's awesome. I like my coffee fairly strong, so once it starts perculating, I set the stove timer for ten minutes and it comes out strong and rich in flavor. 👍

I have a 2 to 6 cups percolator. I can tell you usually that the bottom number isn't going to work. I have a 4 to 12 cup Coleman percolator, too. The 4 doesn't work. Both perked coffee at the lowest settings come out watery and thin at the lowest rating. So forget that bottom number, but buy a pot in range of your needs. My 2 to 6 cup pot, at 3 cups, works fine, and it makes excellent coffee. Note, the water marking on the pot can be off, on mine, at the 6 cup marking, the water is about 1/3 or so up the pour funnel, pass the holes in it. This isn't good. It's because on those pot line markings if you use them. Here is what I do, 5 ounces is the European measurement for a cup of coffee, eight ounces for bakery. So my minimum water is for 3 cups, 15 ounces. This will fill a Yeti mug. I use 7 grams of coffee per 5 ounce cups. You want to heat the pot on middle heat or very slightly higher, as soon as it starts to perk, turn it down to middle low, or slightly less. Set a timer for 7 minutes. You want to perk it gently, or you will burn the coffee. It's under that dome with that perk stem that the trapped water boils, you want to try and keep the boil there, don't full boil the whole pot on high heat. Weight your water in ounces, 5 ounces per cup, your coffee in grams, 7 ounces per cup. Don't trust pot markings. We use a gas stove if you use it on an electric.The best thing I can tell you is to turn on one burner to medium heat, a second on medium low. Put the pot on the medium heat in about 6 and a 1/2 minutes, it should start to perk. As soon it starts perking, remove it and put it on the other burner on medium low and set a timer 7 minutes. Take it off the hot burner. Oh, be careful of stainless steel. My pot is pure stainless, and it will not work on an induction stove. In pots and pans, they have to mix impurities into the stainless to make it work on induction stoves. If a magnet will not stick to the side of a stainless percolator, it's for gas stoves only. My 2-6 pot looks exactly like the video.

@@markraciborski4289 Thank you sir. I still haven't gotten around to buying a perk yet, trouble with a small town, only so much selection. But when I do, I will definitely give your method a try.

@wornoutwrench8128 Hey, I grew up in NC, in the 60, small fishing town of 1,200, the city 20 miles away. We got 1 grocery store in 1971, a Piggy Wiggy. You wanted something it came from the Sears catalog in about a month. 😀

👍

I’m still using my Corningware percolator, so good

@@kayjames190, a classic never dies!☺

Interesting about sleeping better. Don't be afraid of using glass. Just use a trivet if you don't have a glass stove. Don't use too much heat. And wait a couple of minutes before handling it and only put it on things that can handle the heat and aren't a much different temperature than the glass.

I started collecting old coffeepots years back; was hoping to display them in the kitchen on shelves. That never happened but I kept two electric percolators from the 50s-60s and started experimenting with them and my mother's Revere Ware stove top percolator. I was able to make the best coffee with the stove top one but I do use the electric perks now and then. No more plastic coffeemakers for me.

I agree, we always make popcorn on stove top pot with Olive oil, tastes much better and it's not toxic like microwave popcorn.

Could you make a video of you making the popcorn? Really enjoy your content. Do you eat any meat?

👍

Thank you 👍
