And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Stainless is good! The one I used to have was aluminum, it worked but that was a long time ago. That was the one I had at the light house (76-77), I needed to drink coffee so I could stay up all night every third night. The last I saw of it was in the family camp gear boxes.
If you take the heat down as low as possible to maintain the perk once it starts perking and leave it like that for 8-10 minutes, it will not burn. I have been using the blue Coleman (rounded bottom like this one works best on a wood stove) equivalent of this 14 cup version getting hard to find) on my wood stove in the winter or propane stove in the summer for the last 15 years now. With very good results.
True. Slow is best for percolators and also for French Presses. Give it a try - pour the water in, give it a stir, put the lid on and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before pressing it. Smooth.
I ordered the 9 cup. Been needing a new outdoor coffee pot.

I will be willing to bet that Millenians, Gen X-Y and Z have no clue what this is and what it can do.
ReplyDeleteA good way to make bad coffee.
ReplyDeleteSo, I wonder if you think that "good" coffee is from Starbucks.
DeleteIt burns the coffee

DeleteFar too many people are impatient and only cook on high. It's a fact.

DeleteI've had a Farberware 4-cup percolator for 35 years. Love it.
