When you say "cream", what are you actually using? This appears to refer to any of the coffee-whitening products commonly used. I don't tend to _make_ coffee for myself; I'll have tea with milk. When we had a coffee machine at work I would typically have its "latte" option with semi-skimmed milk. Later (after I figured out how to program using its useless, *_useless_* interface) I was able to have it make what we would consider a "typical" coffee (espresso shot, extra hot water, cold milk), which is what I would make if we were out of tea (but that's rare; this _is_ the UK after all). A couple of restaurants offer coffee on their dessert menu, and that's where I _would_ have a "typical" coffee, but with single cream instead of milk. Very nice, and the texture difference is quite interesting too.

I hate percolator coffee too. However, my mom grew up with percolator coffee and had nostalgia about it. When her coffee maker gave out she tossed it - said it always tasted burnt anyway (she’d leave it on 6-8 hours a day). Probably led to the machine failure now that i think about it. I told her you have to turn off her machine once it’s finished brewing and microwave a cup as needed to avoid it burning on the hot plate. But microwaving coffee was apparently sacrilegious. So she got a percolator and uses that. And if it gets cold - she’ll reheat it on the stove top (it’s a stove top percolater). I get acid reflux just thinking about it. I’m over here with a drip-coffee maker loving the smell and taste. She loves the coffee I make at home (drip) but says I just make it better and refuses to accept that it’s just not burnt in a percolator or hot plate 😂 I’m not magic - it’s the method.

Cowboy coffee is better than percolator coffee. Put the ground coffee in the pot, fill it with water. Bring to a boil and immediately take it off the fire. Let the grounds settle then pour a cup. It's very strong but not burned. Kind of similar to Turkish coffee.

I am surprised you guysdon't have Bialetti Moka express percolators. The Bialetti, as we call it in Europe, is an italian brand (there are many other brands that make it, but Bialetti is the inventor), is a percolator where the coffee doesn't drip back to the water, but instead there are two separate chambers: the bottom one which holds the water, and the top one which receives the coffee. Because the bottom chamber is hermetically closed, there is a pressure valve to avoid explosion in case the perrcolating tube gets occluded. This century old design solves some issues with the models shown in the video and has been sold in the hundreds of millions of units, so until now I thought all percolators were designed like that; I was really surprised to see this design where the coffee drips back to the water and gets burnt. With the Bialetti, the coffee doesn't get mixed with the boiling water. Now here is the trick to avoid burnt coffee: preboil the water so that the percolator stays as little time as possible on the stove top.

The trick for using a percolator on the stove is: 1. Use at least 4 cups of filtered water. 2. Use 1 tbsp of coffee per cup of water 3. Heat on High until percolation begins. 3. Reduce heat to low. 4. Allow to percolate no more than 5 minutes.

I've owned and tried most (almost all) means of brewing coffee, and used a percolators for a few years exclusively. I much prefer stovetop models because I can control the heat. The secret is to keep the heat at the lowest level that will still cause percolation. Ideally about one squirt every 1.5 seconds. I learned the heat settings on my stove, and then the total perc time that gave the desired taste I was after. This process filled the house with the warm aroma of coffee that will bring back great morning memories for many of us born anywhere before the 1980's. I also found that percolators do a much better job of extracting everything from the beans, so much so that even cheaper pre-ground coffee ends up making a strong cup. While I normally drink my coffee black, I did cut percolator coffee with a little milk. It created a full-bodied, flavorful drink that also cut down on the cooling time a little (I'd already waited several minutes for the brew). Overall, I still feel that percolators have their place, but I'm sure they'll die off as the generation who uses them does too. But they shouldn't be discounted as worthless until you've spent some time learning what they can accomplish....................same for the percolators. 😁

Sgrdaddy, congratulations! It takes some experimentation because of the several variables, but the results are worth it in my opinion. IF you’ve learned your heat setting and can maintain a very slow and steady drip, you can also try adding a filter to your grounds basket. You can use finer grounds then, but it takes longer for the water to return/drain through so it will build up and start to overflow a little if you’re not watching. Just something to consider once your comfortable with it. Enjoy the process, and enjoy the results. Sometimes the “lower tech” methods are better. 😉

When I was growing up - back in the late 40s and 50s - my folks made coffee with a stove top percolator so I'm quite familiar with them. I noticed when you poured your coffee from the stove top percolator you left the tube and basket (and grounds) in. We always took the 'guts' out before pouring the coffee. I'm sure this had an effect on the taste of your coffee. Also, with experience you learn how to adjust the amount of coffee and water and perc time so that the result is a decent cup.
@petesporsche8098
@petesporsche8098 Рік тому
Stove top percolators actually work at well below boiling temperature. It takes some time but the trick is to be gentle with it. Electric coffeepots get quite a bit hotter at the heating element and make scorched coffee compared to properly made stovetop. Also, one usually removes the basket before serving to reduce the grounds in the cup.

Man, this brings back childhood memories for me - not the coffee aspect, but the fact that my grandmother used a percolator up until she died, and was constantly criticized by her children who had no choice but to drink it when visiting. Perhaps it was her for her affinity for depression-era coffee standards that prevented her from switching to drip, but it was invariably a topic of conversation among my mom, aunts and uncles once out of earshot. I remember not really understanding (or caring) about ones coffee brewing preference as a kid, but this extra context really puts it into perspective.

In addition to the advice to "get the electric one" if you need a percolator, I'd say "get the smallest electric one". From personal experience I can vouch for the results from the 4 cup size Farberware Electric Percolator. I'm a tiny bit more snobbish than you, Mr. Connections, and I really like it. It's definitely better than the results you got here, and very convenient. I'm really curious why it's specifically the smallest percolator that makes the best coffee. The bigger pots are not as good. Maybe the smaller volume means the coffee is cooked less?

If I could find a working Sunbeam toaster, I'd snap it up in a second. I used to have my mom's Sunbeam toaster which was no longer functional. Years ago, I attempted to refurbish it with the knowledge and skill that I had at the time. I wasn't successful and ultimately trashed it. After watching the Technology Connections video on Sunbeam toasters I'm sure that if I still had it, it could be resurrected. Oh, well.

A coffee snob is someone who calls you an idiot for not weighing your coffee or for daring to say that moka pot coffee is even drinkable.

Mind you, the people who would correct you that moka pot coffee is not espresso would be right. It's the people who get real fired up about it that are the coffee snobs.

I use regular grind for drip coffee makers in mine and I found that not only is it not a problem to use but the coffee comes out very flavorful. I bought the second one for home because the coffee it made was so much better than what my drip coffee maker made. I actually just discovered your channel last night and watched several episodes. Keep up the good work. Also try regular grind in the presto, give it another chance 🤣

Once water starts splashing up from the siphon tube against the knob, time it for about 10 minutes and then get it off the heat.

you should learn to drink it. it will help broaden your palette, most people who don't drink it haven't developed any tolerance for bitterness. Once you do, black coffee doesn't even taste bitter anymore, a lot of food ends up tasting better as a result. What I recommend is getting a little teacup, about half the size of a normal coffee cup, and force yourself to drink a cup in the morning. it won't take more than a few days for you to acclimate. Then again, if you don't care then don't worry about it.

Yes…I do own an electric Presto percolator. And it sits on my kitchen counter purely for nostalgic reasons. I lived with my grandmother throughout the 1960’s and 70’s and every weekday morning she promptly arose at 6am, came out of her bedroom in bathrobe and slippers and immediately started her percolator right up. While that was going, she spent the time on hygiene, putting on her nurses dress ( yes, the white dress and cap before medical scrubs), and putting on just a dab of lipstick 💄. Then she was ready for her one cup of coffee as she sat at the kitchen table with her treasured cup of coffee, toast,and the morning newspaper 🗞 . That was her routine for decades until she retired. Very fond memories for me. I’ve never used my percolator, so I wouldn’t know about the taste. When I struck out on my own in the mid 70’s, I bought a drip machine. Now I’m down to using a pour-over cone that sits on top of my mug. It works just fine for me. So, I would personally like to know what your favorite brewing method is?
@user-nw8ho8hb6z
@user-nw8ho8hb6z 4 місяці тому
I have tested many methods. And for me a pour over cone with paper filter is my favorite when at home using medium ground dark roast using water temp slightly below boiling. (the temp does seem to make a difference) When camping the AeroPress, used inverted with 2 minutes of steep time, courser grind dark roast. If you need 2 cups per brew, just use twice the grounds then after brewing then add hot water to taste. (I use 1 to 1 ratio)
@thevoidstalker

It depends on the machine. Some use instant coffee, which tastes about how you would expect. Some drip-brew coffee on demand one mug at a time, which should taste just fine if it's coffee beans you like and the machine is well serviced. Some even apparently freshly grind the beans. So if you have a good machine selling good coffee, there's no reason it should taste bad. But in my experience, it always does taste bad, so maybe there is a lot lost in cost-saving measures.

I've maintained one that brewed the coffee for every cup with a metal filter. The limiting factor was mostly the coffee that was in it. You could even adjust the strength of the coffee. It made the special coffees (espresso and everything) with instant coffee. Biggest issue was the "milk", which it added by mixing in a white powder of various plant fats. Edit: different elements (grouped as hot chocolate/milk thing/special coffees, coffee and clean hot water) were also dispensed through different pipes in the machine.

I have a home "superautomatic" espresso machine, at the press of a button, it will grind the coffee beans (amount and grind are adjustable), dump them in the brewing chamber, tamp them with a piston, pump the selected amount of water through the beans and then directly into your cup, then the piston comes out of the brewing chamber and the puck of used coffee is pushed out and into a built in waste bin that holds 14 pucks. Here's a video of mine making 2 espressos, you can tell from the sound that as it brews the first one, it grinds the beans for the next one: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/a3-DfmaMbYibo4U.html

Love this episode!! I am a coffee snob and was working in a shop with a bunch of ex navy guys that never, ever cleaned the coffee pot out claiming that the black film inside gave it the best taste. Well, one day I went in early and scrubbed it clean. They didn’t notice and in the morning meeting everyone said that the coffee tasted really good that day. I spoke up and said that I cleaned the pot. Immediately after, they said it was weak and tasteless!! Go figure!!

This just reminded me of my great grandmother cooking on her wood stove. We were quite rural through so even in the early 2000s/late 90s she was without electricity and many of us used quite uh outdated items I would say (I had a tape deck most of my childhood). I will say she sometimes made it in a pot for a big group of people but for smaller groups the percolator was used but usually she was pretty careful with the coffee’s temp on the stove and she also removed the little basket before pouring. My papa (her son) actually didn’t like any coffee other than gas station and percolator coffee. She loved the drip coffee the minute she moved to a house with electricity 😂 she just was glad she didn’t have to baby sit it.

Here in Brazil, when I was a child, my grandmother ground and roasted the coffee seeds every morning and mixed boiling water with cold water, so as not to burn the coffee, to make coffee in a cloth filter, called a 'coador'. Nowadays I don't know any coffee as good as what I used to drink on the farm.

That electric percolator has an elegant retro look even if it doesn't make the best coffee. It's still kind'a cool looking. Btw, I don't think the water is supposed to be at a full boil on the stovetop, just barely hot enough for the coffee to "perk." It takes some finesse. Btw, back then no one had ever heard of a "coffee filter." My parents had some kind of "drip" coffee maker when I was a child but I don't remember any details other than it had two sections, one on top of the other. Maybe you could find an old (1950s to 60s) one?

I am an oldie (but goodie ;-) and I used a percolator for a number of years before Mr. Coffee got introduced. Just a couple hints to anyone who wishes to try the percolator way of making coffee. On the stove top model, NEVER let the coffee/water continue to boil that hard. Once it comes up to a boil, turn down the heat to a nice gentle simmer. The coffee will still percolate and you will get a much milder coffee. Also, very importantly, before you pour the coffee from any percolator (especially the ones with the pour spout on the top), you must remove the internal parts of the pot. Remove the stem, basket, coffee grounds, diffuser top, etc. When you leave them inside the pot and pour the coffee, the finished coffee is being poured through the grounds, from the bottom to the top of the grounds basket, making for a bitter cup of coffee and also putting grounds into your cup. Even the pots with the pour spout a little lower, will get some of the backwash from the grounds basket when you pour the coffee. Now with all that being said, I am not recommending using a percolator. Once the drip method was introduced, I switched and have only rarely used a percolator since then. But if you want to try it, these suggestions will really help the flavor of your coffee.

@Prophes0r
@Prophes0r Рік тому
​@@pxldsilz6828 I'm not sure whether or not you made the "eggshell" comment as a joke or not, but that is LITERALLY a thing. One of the problems with percolated coffee is the water temperature. Boiling water makes TERRIBLE coffee. The chemistry is complicated, but the tl;dr is that different stuff dissolves better/worse at different temperatures of water. It just so happens that most of the stuff that makes coffee taste bad, dissolves well, above 208ish F (97 C). Coffee brewed with boiling water is more bitter, and MUCH more sour than coffee brewed with hot (200-205 F [93-95 C]) but not boiling water. Now, since percolators rely on the water boiling, they don't really have the option of lowering the brewing temperature. So, people tried other ways of "fixing" the end-product. Since sour stuff is acidic, one way to "fix" it is to try to neutralize some of the acid. Egg shells are mostly Calcium Carbonate, which reacts with acids. And people often eat eggs with breakfast, which was also when they brewed coffee. So...they took the egg shells and threw them in with the ground coffee before brewing. And it does sort of work. I've had a LOT of percolated coffee over the years. It is much more convenient when brewing multiple gallons on big camping trips. That breakfast coffee made with egg shells is noticeably less acidic than when brewed without. This doesn't make percolated coffee GOOD. But it DOES make it less bad.

Funny enough it took my father to explain to me how old a percolator actually was. I use an electric percolator and I vastly prefer it to a drip machine. As an 80's baby I wasn't even alive when they were ubiquitous and thought it was a relatively new concept at the time I bought one as an adult. As to the grounds, I use a filter in the basket, but we also have a handheld reusuable filter that put on the cup as we are pouring coffee into it. Have never had a problem, even without removing the internals before pouring as I was apparently supposed to do.

Yeah, I can make coffee about nine different ways too (the K-machine wouldn’t come clean anymore). I like your Science of Coffee shows. So the bubbles do the tube-pumping in our 100-cup Church coffeemaker! I’m so glad it has a “heat chamber” (as you defined). It actually does a pretty good job. Think I’ll polish my Ibrik. BTW, a 4-cup percolator, like you show at halftime, got me through college. The fast-motion with sound was a hoot!
