I grew up in a developing country. Did not start making drip coffee until I moved to the US when I was 20. Before that I was just drinking instant coffee. Grew up with no parents, just a grandma. Just recently I bought a $15 Keurig from FB Marketplace (I don't buy those awful pods, I do the re-usable ones). I have never done this percolator but was always curious. Now I know. Thanks, dad!
Thanks Dad you’re the best! My 3 year old even calls you Dad 😂 he has a laugh with it too. Thanks for helping a single mum navigate life. Hugs from New Zealand
Being around a table full of family and someone making coffee in one of those is a special memory for me. Being Italian we always had the smaller ones for espresso too. Ahhh, I can smell it now. Thanks for bringing those memories back for me today!
@Commander5.7, I am 65 years old. When I was a kid we would visit my aunt, uncle and cousins often. My aunt was a coffee drinker and a Pyrex flameware percolator was her coffee pot. I remember being just tall enough to be eye level to the gas burner of the stove. When she made coffee as she did every time we visited, I was fascinated and mesmerized watching this pot do its magic. I was amazed how the blue flame created the stream of bubbles at the bottom of the pot that eventually rose up the pump creating coffee. Magic! Jump 35 years ...I am at a flea market and I see this coffee pot sitting on the ground on gravel all by itself being ignored. I ran to get it and scooped it up. It was $20, and I couldn't have been happier. I would have gladly paid whatever the price was. I lived about an hour away and looked at that pot the whole time we were driving home. It was filthy, but in good shape; no chips, nicks or scratches. This had been a family's coffee pot. I wondered how many times it was perked before everyone started their busy days. How many times did mothers sit around the kitchen table drinking coffee from this gem after the kids went to school? What was its history that led me to discovering it that day? Thoughts and memories of Aunt Mary Anne and her coffee flooded my mind. When we got home I couldn’t get out of the car fast enough. After a serious cleaning, I was ready for some coffee. I filled the pot up, turned on the burner, and waited. I remembered all the times I watched my Aunt Mary Anne make coffee. I was still fascinated and mesmerized by the rising bubbles and distinct sound this percolator made as the aroma quickly filled the my nose. Amazing how those senses have the power to transport you to your childhood… I have been making coffee with that flea market Pyrex Flameware percolator for all these years. My Aunt is gone now but every time I make coffee I am a little kid in her kitchen watching magic before my eyes again. I toast my Aunt Mary Anne with the first cup in thanks for introducing me to this work of art. Thanks Aunt Mary Anne. I can’t wait until we are once again together sharing a magical cup of coffee...
Another thing I haven't done. Fascinating. I really love how clearly you enjoy the small things 😊 it is lovely to see someone so appreciative. You really are an awesome guy. I often wonder if your neighbors know they are living next to a celebrity 🤔 . I appreciate you and have popcorn all the time now that I know you can cook on the stove! 😄💚 take good care! See ya tomorrow
I just love your jokes!!! My Dad always told jokes too!!! I loved that about him!!! You bring joy to my heart! thank you for being here on youtube to help us who have Dads that are Angels in heaven now!!! I really am grateful I found you to show me how to do things!!! I have a list to look up and see if you,ve made videos about already! your such a blessing!!! Thank you again!!!
I use one of those everyday, I have a collection of them. When the electric goes out people come and check them out for their coffee. Best way to make it in my books.
Hi Dad, Just wanted to say how much I really appreciate this video. My grandpa when I go visit him always made me percolated coffee and I never learned how to do it and that was a big regret of mine. I can’t wait to get one to taste some sweet memories!
This takes me back to my childhood when my mom would perk coffee on the stove in the morning. I'm a drip coffee man now, but on a camp stove this seems perfect.
I started my work day grumpy, but this was so soothing to watch. Brought back happy memories of camping with my dad as a kid. I could smell the coffee through my phone, thank you for sharing with us ☕
I can smell it from here in Florida! My Daddy and I would make it just like this while camping. Hed wake me up before my mom and brother in those ungodly hours of the morning no one should have to be awake just so we could have our coffee together before the others woke and took the rest, lol. Im very blessed to have had, and still have a dad whos very much like yourself. Thanks for bringing back these great memories, Dad 2.0. :)
Being 71 myself, and having grown up with stove top, electric and even cowboy coffee, I find these videos somewhat amusing as it just reminds me of how old I am. I went back to stove top cowboy coffee after the basket broke in percolater.
My grandpa used a percolator, stovetop then electric. They never had a drip machine. I never got to learn how to use it from him, but did enjoy watching it perk!
A friend was using one of these yesterday on our camping trip, and she was talking as if I was totally familiar with it. Never used one before, as I’m a tea drinker. I’m glad to come across this video today so I can understand what she’s doing next time.
This brought back so many memories of going camping as a kid with my grandparents. Of course I didn’t drink coffee at the time but it was a beautiful memory to have reappear. And there is nothing like the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Thanks Dad!
I have my mom's old percolator. It's perfect when the power goes out - fire up the bbq, next thing you know my neighbours are looking over the fence because they smell coffee. I use regular coffee filters, cut and "X" in the center and trim it to fit the basket.
There's something very soothing about your videos. When we moved into my partners family home many years ago his Grandmother and Mother had used theirs on the stove. I've since carried on this tradition and use mine daily, I love it.
I just found a ss of this guy on Facebook and this is the first video I've watched and.. I know it's so stupid but I keep trying so hard not to tear up n just cry n idek why that is. Some stranger is TEACHING me something and talking me through it and it feels stupid good and absolutely terrible at the same time and AGHHH
My aunt and uncle used a percolator although pretty sure it was electric. The coffee always smelled so amazing! Thank you! Always wondered how they worked and now I might have to get one 😂
Great video!!! I love good old percolator coffee and have a pot that was my grandfather's when he went camping. I still use it on camping trips from time to time and even brought it out after a storm a few years back when we had a large power outage, so I could have my coffee and hook my neighbors up as well. I do also want to add, to all the kids out there... You don't NEED a percolator to make good camp or power outage coffee (though I DO highly recommend it if you can because it is really meditative in watching it brew)... French presses also work great (though they can be a little delicate depending on what they're made of) whether you're camping, or the power's out, OR just for every day... Then there's also "drip funnels" which are IDEAL if you're only making a cup or two of coffee... I want to point out the drip funnels because they're cheap, are only one piece (minus filters) almost impossible to damage, easy to use and clean, and are great if you only need a cup or two.... The big drawback to percolators or French Presses is that they work better if you're making a good amount of coffee, like over four cups or so. Drip funnels are great for making ONE or TWO cups... Now when I say "drip funnel, I don't mean some delicate big glass thing, I mean the little ones you can get made out of plastic for about $6, or ceramic for about $15 that are made for making one, sometimes two, cups of coffee at a time. You literally put it on top of your mug, put a filter in it, put in two scoops of coffee, and slowly pour hot water in... and there ya go, coffee... Another great thing about them is that as long as you can heat water, on a fire, or a camp stove, or a range, or a microwave, or an electric kettle, or a whatever you have, to heat water, you can make coffee, so it's not JUST for camping and power outages. If you're used to only having one or two cups of coffee a day, you can easily use it every day and it's a lot cheaper and takes up a LOT less space than anything else for making coffee (it's just a little bigger than a standard coffee mug) which can be a big bonus if you're living somewhere where space is really limited, or if, say you're camping and you want to reduce weight. I hope this tips adds to the conversation. and once again, great video!!!
Hey there everyone's Dad. I knew how to do this from watching Granny, but have never done it myself. TOPIC REQUEST: How to clean the lint screen on a dryer (curved screen, pulls from the top) without it sucking the lint down & clogging the dryer vent. There are a lot of college students in my apt complex who apparently have never done laundry. 😆
Okay, can anyone explain this to me please. Dude has 3.57 MILLION subscribers. That's a ton of subscribers right? How come he's barely getting 10k views per day on average?
I can give you my reason. I am from Italy, I am an adult and I don’t really need tips on coping with everyday life. But I subscribed this channel when I read an article about it, to show my appreciation for a dad who teaches and help youths around the world. Today I saw the video about the coffe percolator and I was curious to see the difference between it and the Italian moka.
But what if you don't know how to trade any of these? I mean, I see your point. Some people have the money and are willing to invest. But the problem is where to
If think you're too busy to trade or learn how to trade, just know I have some friends who don't even know a thing about trading but invest in a platform where an expert helps them trade, and they get paid profit every week
I have met Mr Anderson. My wife and I invest in his platform too! The first time we tried, we invested $5,000 each and after a week, we were paid $9000 each. That really went a long way for us
