Anyone do this? On a total whim, I bought a stovetop Faberware percolator for 15 bucks. I think seeing it must have brought back childhood memories of how my mom always made coffee. While I don't drink lots of coffee, every once in a while I want more than my french press (my preferred method) will make, and figured this would be perfect for that, and very simple as well.
Apparently everyone on the Internet talks about what a crappy cup of coffee percolators make. Frankly though, I've been liking the coffee that comes out of mine. I'm by no means a coffee connoisseur, and can only drink coffee with cream and sugar regardless of how it's made, so maybe I'm missing whatever it is that makes percolated coffee so bad, since I don't drink it black. I like the smell of the coffee percolating though, as well as the nostalgia aspect and the simpleness of it all.
