Post a CommentI love how you explained it with pictures. Excellent work!
Good, interesting article. I have an old stove-top percolator. When Hurricane Ike came through we were without electricity for about a week. I was able to use my coffee pot on the gas stove and had wonderful coffee. Neighbors came to our house for coffee. I had never thought about filters for it though.
Internet was basically out all evening :( It's still odd - I think it's all the rain this area has been getting. I was trying to do more relevant comments, but now that it's so late, I'm sicking with copy and paste - maybe one of these days everything will cooperate.
Very nice tutorial!
Pv love - watching "The Emperor's New School," then going to bed!
Old fashioned looking, that's for sure. We picked up a coffee maker like this a few years ago at a business that sells stuff like outdoor rugged outdoor clothes and wood burning stove. We already had a wood burning stove in our family room and thought we'd make coffee with one of those blue enamel pots (minus the pretty glass dome thingee your's has). Sure could have used your instructions then because the pot had none. Wood stove has since been replaced with a gas fireplace and the coffee pot is now holding a floral arrangement. I may brew some life back into it!
Fresh perked coffee is THE best :)
Nicely done..good pictures.
Very interesting, indeed! I like stuff from olden times. If I had money, I'd decorate and use some older items. One thing is the old-fashioned toaster. And another is the percolator you demonstrate. But the center attraction would have to be one of those enameled and beautiful wood-burning kitchen stoves. Some of them are a real work of art!
Thank you so much!!
