Great Coffeemaker - I've attached a video and a few tips to show you how to make great coffee with a percolator
I really like this coffeemaker compared to the Presto. I've had the other one for years and have liked it, but I didn't like the aluminum in the bottom(aluminum has been linked to dementia and alzheimers), and it just always looked rusted out in the bottom. Tough to clean. This one is much easier. I have attached a video I made to help anyone who is getting a lot of grounds in their percolator (no matter what kind). I like that this is all stainless steel and it makes coffee very fast. As long as I follow the process in my attached video, I get a delicious cup of coffee every single time. You don't even have to use a special kind of grind or anything. Just do what I describe, and it comes out yummy. Beats drip and especially Keurig every which way. Update: As I mentioned to someone else about the way to put the filters in, very few people drink the last inch of the coffee in a percolator because there will always be a few grounds, but my method minimizes the amount. Also, I have always measured one level teaspoon for every cup of coffee I make, either in a drip coffee maker or in a percolator. Then I add a couple more. It's because I don't like really strong coffee. So, if you're like me and filled it up to 10 cup line, you would put in about 12 level teaspoons of coffee. I started doing this when I was in the military because I was broke in my younger days. It saved me a lot of $ in coffee. So, if you like a really strong cup you might put 15 level teaspoons in for a 10 cup water line. OH and very very important: Also brew starting with cold water, or it will get confused. I've accidentally filled with hot water before after cleaning it out, and you get just clear water because it doesn't know to percolate. Hope this helps. When I want to drink the last of the pot, I use one of those tea strainers that you use with loose tea. The ones with the very small screen. I pour the last bit through that to avoid any grounds that might've been at the bottom. --Lynne @ Lynne Marie Studios, Inc.
