  2. Been using Hamilton Beach percolators the last 40 years. Great coffee, stays hot.

  3. I have a made in Italy aluminum version that I've been using for about three years. The coffee is good, however it uses what I consider an over large amount of grinds to get the desired flavor concentration. The convenience is that one can brew one fresh 10oz cup at a time.

  5. But, wait. The water goes UP through the grounds. That's backward. Water goes down, not up So, the coffee is upside down! You'll have to turn the cup bottom side up to drink it. Follow me for more food and lifestyle tips!

  7. If you like burnt coffee, a percolator is the way to go.

  8. It's correct, . . . the picture is just missing the little tube in the middle (it is not visible, since the coffee is in the way, so you can't see it). Hard to describe, by just showing a straight on, profile picture.

  9. This is not a percolator. This is a stove top/campfire 'espresso' coffee maker. The boiling water only goes through the grounds once, and the coffee never touches the heat source.

  10. Love it! I am 80 years old. When I was single, there were no single cup coffee makers other than the Italian Espresso maker and the near eastern demitasse pot. So, to have my mug of coffee, I brewed it in an Italian espresso maker. I always had a good cup of coffee. Oh, and watch out when the coffee comes up the central tube and you hear SPUTTER, SPUTTER, SPUTTER. This means that the heat was too high and now you have to clean your stove top.
