I inhereted a percolater.
Now what? I've read about how it's the worst way to make coffee. It came out tasting burnt. Am I doing it wrong?

No, it's supposed to taste that way. How old is your percolater?

Did you clean it out when you got it?

Yeah, percolators recirculate the oils through the grounds over and over. I personally cannot take the taste. We use our percolator only to boil the water at a campsite and then add it to cold brewed shots. It tastes 1000 times better.

Growing up my parents drank coffee from a percolator. It taste terrible. It's probably what kept me from enjoying coffee until I was in my late twenties.

 I remember my grandmother used to use one of those bad boys. I was too young to remember what it tasted like, though. I do remember thinking it was cool to watch the coffee percolate in it. -Joe |
