Not a big coffee drinker and didn't know they make coffee percolators anymore.

My dad always added a few shakes of salt to the coffee before percolating.

I wasn’t a coffee drinker then, so don’t know why or how it “improved” the coffee

Where does the coffee go?

Here.

Where do you turn it on?

Here.

But where does a coffee go?

If I remember correctly, Percolators ruin good coffee by boiling it and running the same water through the grounds over and over. This over-extracts bitter compounds and essentially cooks the coffee, leaving it with a burned, harsh taste—no matter how good the beans are.

I find the pour-over method is best. And the French Press is next.

I am finicky about my coffee.

I enjoy stovetop coffee periodically, but drip through a paper filter removes cholesterol-raising and other harmful substances while leaving the antioxidants and other good stuff.

Coffee via pods is the worst of both — harmful stay and good go.

They say there is no such thing as a dumb question. But “where do I put the coffee?” is as close as it gets.

The best coffee is made in a percolator. Whenever we go camping we always take the percolator for morning coffee. Delicious.

My Swedish aunt used to put a cracked egg in the basket.

A coffee percolator is something you use over an open flame when the “power” is out for an extended period of time.

If you’re a coffee drinker, get one, you may need it!

“Where to put coffee,” really?

[whatexit]

They do, but they’re all manufactured in China now and don’t last.

I personally use vintage Farberware Superfast percolators - Made in Bronx, NY. I ran across the one my mom had packed up when she bought her first drip machine in the 70’s. It made the best cup of coffee I’d had in years. Been in daily use since.

I've been using a Regal Poly Perk made in Kewaskum, Wisconsin, that is forty years old. It's been dependable and has made good coffee. I expect it to die any day but until then it's gonna' be keepin' on.

"Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET ____ on us!"

[sauropod]

I don’t use anything else.
