How about an electric percolator? My Mom made awesome coffee in ours during my growing up years. Coffee was always piping hot and aromatic. The aroma would waft from the kitchen to my bedroom and wake me up and my sweet Mama didn't even drink coffee! I'd give anything to have her Sunbeam Percolator, toaster and stand mixer!
What a sweet memory!! I remember those from church singings.
I can't wait for the day when our lives take joy in simple things. I miss the era of my childhood... they were indeed sweet memories! Take care Lucille!
My wife and I purchased an electric percolator that's pretty much the same as they were in the 60's. (Presto 12 Cup) They also have a 6 cup model. These things are made to last and make amazing coffee. We bought new, but I'm sure you can find older models in antique/second hand shops.
Easy to use, easy to clean and freed up a large chunk of counter space since we removed our drip brewer. Brews a pot in about 8 minutes.
Another thing we love about it, is it will keep the coffee hot all day without burning it like our previous brewer. I'm having a cup now that was brewed 10 hours ago and it tastes as good as when it was fresh.
Honestly don't see why people switched to drip brewers.
I agree fren! I loved our electric percolator for all the reasons you listed ...always piping hot, the flavor was sealed in, never bitter even after all day in the pot! Amazing!
And I don't know why we got rid of it for a plastic Mr. Coffee type, new fad I guess. Going to try to replace all of my Mom's beautiful Chrome appliances...Sunbeam percolator and toaster by shopping on eBay. They were designed by a wonderful man name Robert Budlong, famous for classic art deco designs on everything from Zenith radios to appliances.
Thanks for the info on the Presto percolator fren!
