I inherited a Pyrex percolator like you see in this video and it changed the coffee game at my house. Takes about 30 minutes to make but its totally worth it. When made properly you can understand why people drink coffee all day. Heck, my new found love for coffee has me watching coffee videos. 😂
Percolators are great, but I threw my Percolator in the shed after using a Stainless Steel Moka Pot (Grosche). Espresso is a bit intense for me, but Moka brews are magnificent.
Ive been using my percolator like yours for 40 years on gas, one tablespoon of coffee per cup. Those electric percolators do not produce the fine result of flavor, and the pyrex is always out ready for a superior brew. Hand grind gives you a full flavor bean result, I grind by hand and the aroma is awesome. Electric grinders cook the beans while grinding, makes them hot so alot flavors gone before it even reaches your percolator. I learned all this in Europe from the old masters of the art.
are you talking a blade grinder? I have an old KitchenAid coffee mill grinder that uses birds and actually has settings for different types of coffee pots. I find that to be a fairly decent coffee grinder. I have both stovetop and Electric percolators however the electric one doesn't feel the house would be Aroma fresh pot of coffee.
From back in the days when Maxwell House and Foldgers were "good" coffees. I just purchased a Pyrex percolator , and am looking forward to receiving and using it. I also have 2 Yama vacuum brewers, several drip brewers, a French press and a Moka pot. I enjoy the different brewing methods. Nothing gets stale and common this way! THANKS for sharing this great video!
I've made coffee with nearly every machine there is and the hands down best is the vacuum maker. It will turn even the cheapest grade of coffee into a good cup of coffee. What it does with a high quality bean is transcendent.
@@JettBlast I first bought one on eBay. You can pick one up for $30 to $80. And if you get one, don't let it sit directly on the stove element. The glass wasn't tempered for that.
I just used my early denatured alcohol burner heater Universal Perk. Just so happened I did start it with boiling water and with the alcohol burner it can be adjusted down to a gentle perking. The flavor of the coffee was very good, and proved that a Percolator can do a very fine job if done just so as he is saying.. I can hear his voice from another era but I can't pin down what radio program he may have been associated with?
