All ‘coffee pots’ percolate.

How old are you?

Electric coffee makers mostly just drip down.

“Coffee pots - even if they are electric - percolate UP.

Not old enough I guess.
I thought drip coffee makers didn’t percolate. I guess upon retrospect they percolate before they drip into the pot.

Anyway we’re now a Keurig household.

Alright, you made me look up the definition of percolate. I was wrong. I was thinking of the old fashioned percolators - electric or stove top. IMO those keep the coffee more fresh. But technically anything that filters liquid is a percolator.

Well, actually even the drop-down coffee pot s boil (heat rapidly) the water around the bottom of the little heater and the expanded water is forced up through its pipe up to the top. Then it percolate (settles through the g r one coffee) on its way down to the outlet and the valve, or right to the pot.

So, yes, they all percolate. But a full pot has already percolated.
