I inherited a Pyrex percolator like you see in this video and it changed the coffee game at my house. Takes about 30 minutes to make but its totally worth it. When made properly you can understand why people drink coffee all day. Heck, my new found love for coffee has me watching coffee videos. 😂
Percolators are great, but I threw my Percolator in the shed after using a Stainless Steel Moka Pot (Grosche). Espresso is a bit intense for me, but Moka brews are magnificent.
Ive been using my percolator like yours for 40 years on gas, one tablespoon of coffee per cup. Those electric percolators do not produce the fine result of flavor, and the pyrex is always out ready for a superior brew. Hand grind gives you a full flavor bean result, I grind by hand and the aroma is awesome. Electric grinders cook the beans while grinding, makes them hot so alot flavors gone before it even reaches your percolator. I learned all this in Europe from the old masters of the art.
are you talking a blade grinder? I have an old KitchenAid coffee mill grinder that uses birds and actually has settings for different types of coffee pots. I find that to be a fairly decent coffee grinder. I have both stovetop and Electric percolators however the electric one doesn't feel the house would be Aroma fresh pot of coffee.
From back in the days when Maxwell House and Foldgers were "good" coffees. I just purchased a Pyrex percolator , and am looking forward to receiving and using it. I also have 2 Yama vacuum brewers, several drip brewers, a French press and a Moka pot. I enjoy the different brewing methods. Nothing gets stale and common this way! THANKS for sharing this great video!
I just used my early denatured alcohol burner heater Universal Perk. Just so happened I did start it with boiling water and with the alcohol burner it can be adjusted down to a gentle perking. The flavor of the coffee was very good, and proved that a Percolator can do a very fine job if done just so as he is saying.. I can hear his voice from another era but I can't pin down what radio program he may have been associated with?
I've made coffee with nearly every machine there is and the hands down best is the vacuum maker. It will turn even the cheapest grade of coffee into a good cup of coffee. What it does with a high quality bean is transcendent.
@@JettBlast I first bought one on eBay. You can pick one up for $30 to $80. And if you get one, don't let it sit directly on the stove element. The glass wasn't tempered for that.
there is NOTHING like a percolator. I loved this, even the music sounds nice and dreamy. The narrator's voice is also very soothing.
I agree! I have tried a number of different ways of making coffee and for me, an old school electric percolator IS the Best! :D
Elizabeth S Here here! How did you like the stovetop one? That looks awesome and I might try it for kicks but the percolator is where it's at :)
Iroc314072. It will have the whole house smelling wonderful!
@@elizabeths4371 I got a Pyrex percolator for Christmas! I love it...
Love the old percs.

Sounds awesome, I will keep this information in mind...

Just wonderful

When did coffee manufacturers stop specifying what grind was in the can?. I'm aware it's usually automatic drip grind these days.
It's just specified by grind size these days. Coarse, medium, fine.

InformationIsTheEdge , nope, the best maker, hands down, is the pour over chemex, my father taught me 42ys ago. Yep yep.
You're both wrong, lol. I've had it many ways, and the best way is French Press, with vacuum/siphon being #2, and glass percolation #3.
^needs more percs
I am wanting to find a Cory Siphon pot, and try it out...

It's the little things.
Yes, real luxury is enjoying all the small things that make life good...
6:33 Nice hiss.
Let's get this out onto a tray.
I thought so too until I figured out that hiss is actually the sound the vacuum sealed can makes when pierced.
Pyrex! How you doin'! Haven't see one in ages.
I have two of them. Both complete - the 6-cup and the 9-cup. The 6-cup was $4, the 9-cup was 50c...
Watching this while sitting on the throne, drinking a hot cup of coffee.

Screw starbucks, this is the only coffee for me!
The pour over a cone filter is nice ... I get a great cup
There isn't enough milk you can put into Starbucks that will cut that burnt low quality flavor.
@@styldsteel1 just ask for Blonde Espresso! 👌😎
Where is your electric drip machine?
Is this narrated by William Shatner?
It sounds like Alex Trebek to me.
That's Harry Von Zell, the announcer for the old Burns & Allen TV show of the '50s. 😀
@@dariowiter3078 Wow this a trip to the past!
