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!
