The "bottle opener" is also an old school can opener (no moving parts I know right?) and old cans of coffee came in sealed cans that didn't have pull tabs
I always find it wild when I see a movie and folks use a similar opener on a can of beer. Just googling, they didn't invent pull tabs until 1959, and they didn't make it onto beer cans until 1962. I feel like a lot of cans of pineapple juice still need those old-school openers.
@@thebitterfig9903 And they didn't come into common use until the 70s. I still have a pencil cup I made in junior high. A steel 7-Up can with a pull top. I sealed the pull opening and used a can opener to remove the bottom. I called it pop art then; now I call it vintage. It sits on my home work desk and I use it every day.
Holy shit a coffee UA-camr finally bought one!!!!!! This is how I make coffee at home daily. I own three currently. I love that someone is actually looking at them lol Edit after watching the video: I’m surprised that you didn’t utterly hate it, anytime I see someone talk about these they just say they make the worst coffee ever and it’s irredeemable.
Those old-style percolators have some homey taste to the coffee they make. I think its due to the slight burning they cause to the grounds, but I'm not sure.
I grew up in the '60s drinking percolater coffee from the age of 12. I remember it was the aroma of coffee that woke me on school mornings. My memory of it was that it tasted good. Of course, I used milk and 3 sugars to get it that way! The selection of coffees available at the time wasn't vast: there was 8 O'Clock brand, which one would grind fresh at the market, and all of the usual canned suspects. No delicate florals or citrus notes. Great reminiscence for me, thanks!
I was just about to make a very similar comment. In our case it was my mother’s percolator Luzianne coffee, which has chicory. I started at age 14, also with milk and sugar. I remember it being delicious and that was confirmed by a high school trip to New Orleans where I went to a famous place for beignets and rich coffee with chicory. The only coffee I’ve had as an adult that can compete with that remembered taste is espresso from a local roaster. Now I’m thinking about trying to find a stovetop percolator 2nd-hand that will work on an induction cooktop.
I'm a little younger, I was in college in the mid-late 70s. I didn't drink coffee when I was young, but my parents did. There were three main ways people made their coffee: - instant, which was awful (but my parent's drank it mostly) - percolator - pour over,, your choices were a Chemex or a Melitta Drip machines were just barely coming onto the scene. There was very little coffee culture, I don't remember seeing any specialty beans until the 1980s. You bought ground coffee in the supermarket, if you were fancy you bought whose beans and used the store's grinder. Percolator coffee was considered *good* coffee. I never liked the burnt taste; I didn't like any coffee until I had my first pour over with light roast beans. Oh, before the kids ask, I'm a professional web developer., and I learned PASCAL and COBOL before they were born 😄
It's very easy to make bad coffee with a percolator, not so easy to make good. Tends to be over brewed. You can still easily get an electric one. ua-cam.com/video/R9lYoV4FqyM/v-deo.html
These types of percolators were common in the 70s, whether portable or just the electric home brew. It was funny that you mentioned how hot the coffee was, because my grandfather would basically boil coffee on the stove, pour a cup, and take his first sip before leaving the stove. Not able to see your little metal device that you couldn’t figure out what it was, I assume it’s a type of can opener. Back in the 70s coffee was sold in stores in timings, unless you bought the in store freshly ground coffee. (Miss those grinders in the stores) Everything about your kar n home brings back the nostalgia of those days when people were on the go, and they wanted to convenience of home right in their cars. I hope you enjoy your purchase, you seem to be very happy showing it off! 😊 ☕️
My parents had this. Remember - hotels did not always have coffee makers in the room. Also, if you were "on the road" you were in a motel and there was never room coffee. This was the height of the day travel necessity. And if you are car camping you could us it too. Back in the 70's you just pulled over in a campground or rest area and camped. This was super fancy for the times.
Wow, back in time for me! In 1976 as an AF captain we had one of those on an assignment to Clear AFS, Alaska. We used it mostly to heat water for our instant oatmeal breakfast in the motel room (we drove the Alaska-Canada Highway to get there and money was tight). Yeah, the Kar ‘n’ Home worked and lasted several years afterwards. Thanks for the time warp!
the can opener is a manual one you use for opening condense/evaporated milk essentially it can be use as a "creamer/half and half opener" it a really good video
This was fun to watch! I've been using a Farberware "superfast" percolator daily since the early '90s - what they call "cups" in the instructions and on the markings are not the same as an 8 ounce cup (I think they're about 5 oz), and I assume this is the same. I've just always gone with the measure of 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces water and that gets me a good final result. The grind for an percolator is definitely fairly coarse, and probably would have been "normal" in those days because drip makers were not very common yet (supermarket grinders often have an electric percolator setting). I know there's better coffee - in fact I drink it at the office - but I just like the vibe of percolators...
Traditionally a cup of coffee was 6 oz. Since your younger coffee cognoscenti measure everything in grams it's unsurprising that often they get the proportions wrong when working with older directions. How did a cup of coffee come to be 6 oz., you ask? Tea was already a very popular beverage by the time Europeans began drinking coffee, and tea cups were about 6 oz. Manufacturers had no reason to make special cups just for coffee, so both tea cups and coffee cups were 6oz. They remained that way until the 1970s, when people regularly began drinking coffee out of 10-12oz. mugs, no doubt under the influence of that societal abomination the cardboard cup. ua-cam.com/video/28N_aQKuEbQ/v-deo.html
I don't know why your content got recommended to me. I don't even drink coffee. But I'll tell you what, there's something great about watching someone talk about a specialist subject that you have no idea about and learning about it.
My mom had a stainless steel percolator and the lid had a glass or clear plastic knob on top. So when the water was shooting up out of the tube you'd see it splash across the knobs base. This made it easy to see your brew cycle was working and you could see the water changing into coffee. I seem to remember a lot of grounds in our coffee back then. I was 8 or 9 I think when my mom got her first MR. COFFEE drip maker as a present (Joltin' Joe Dimaggio advertising FOR THE WIN!!!!). She loved it. We used it the next morning and put the percolator on the shelf and never used it again. I guess at some point it got trashed. But I do remember that percolator was what I got my first cups of java from. Which for me back then was half a cup of coffee, the rest milk with a couple of tablespoons of sugar.
Adding to the can opener - many people, I think, used evaporated and/or sweetened condensed milk in their coffee in the 70's. My gram did! She used one of those openers to puncture a pouring hole in the can.
I recognize that sort of can opener, used all the time at home to open cans of evapourated milk for tea and coffee back home. Probably not the intended use in this set, but that's the first thing that came to mind.
Percolators were one of the first electric appliances. Presto made a famous one. The only earlier electric coffee maker was just an electric coffee pot for making Turkish/cowboy style coffee, what is now considered an electric kettle.
I’m pretty sure the two containers were for sugar and powdered creamer. The coffee would’ve stored in the coffee can it came in that you opened with that can opener. Yep back in the 70s coffee was sold in cans that had to be opened with a can opener and that’s the simplest kind of can opener or you could get no moving parts. They all came with a plastic snap on lid and that’s where you stored your coffee.
I love the smell of percolator coffee. My Nana use to make with a stove top one, think proctor Silex. A few years ago I found a brand new stand alone pour over coffee maker. Its called Coffee Manor individual coffee maker. It takes small paper filters , it does pretty good for a pour over coffee. It came in hand after my coffee maker broke.
The can opener seems out of place there. Church keys like that were intended for use with cans containing liquids. You puncture one side of the top, leaving a large triangle-shaped hole, then you turn the can and puncture it again at 180 degrees to the first one, but you don't lever it all the way in, so you've got a tiny triangle to allow air flow in while you pour or drink. I suppose it would work to open a coffee can that way while traveling, but then you'd have to open the can all the way when you got home. And I remember my mother complaining that it was hard to open cans that had been punctured that way, because the metal that was pushed into the can got in the way. Source: my father, who loved calling those things "church keys" for some reason, and who also liked using them on every can he got his hands on. This was the only way he "helped" in the kitchen, puncturing cans of corn or peas with a church key, then draining the liquid. He had to use them on vegetable cans because beer cans had tabs by the time I was around to be his audience.
Hi! I had a coffee maker with same system at the office. But a modern one. It has detachable base, like an electric kettle and also a cool clear tip at the lid. You can see the water flowing up. And as this brewer brews over the water used to brew you can see the water color changing from clean to dark brown. In general everyone loved it at the office. We definitely had better coffee than from an cheap automatic dripper like your black and decker. After pandemic and home office it disappeared from the office. No one knows where it's gone.
Fun fact, the "percolation" is the water flowing through the bed of coffee, _not_ the rising of water through the "perc tube" (as some would fondly call it). [Things Morgan likely knows but are fun to add to the comments.]
I had a clear glass pyrex stove top percolator that I used daily in the 70' & 80's. It made pretty good coffee & I used it until I accidentally smashed it. I ended up replacing it with a drip coffee machine.
Oh nooooo a percolator! Technology Connections did an amazing video on these and... why they're a bit problematic. It's nice to have his deep dive, but also nice to have your narrative and exploration. Thanks for adding to the body of work on... the percolator 😭
I was so excited when you said "perc-UH-lator" because I finally heard a pro pronounce it! And then you also said "perc-YOU-later" 🤣 I think your videos are fantastic. Thank you for making them!
I would love if you took a look at the Bialetti Brikka, my dad bought me one a few months ago and i absolutely adore it. It has its querks being a moka-pod but it brews nices cups of coffee once dialed in. If you ever get around to try it make sure to use coffee with a bit of robusta in it, so the Brikka is able to give you the super nice "crema" it was made to produce. Love your channel keep it up
Not trying to be a donkey but, I didn't know Bialetti made a pod brewer? I have their Moka Express moka pot and a few nice pans. It's my favorite for making an "espresso" granita in the summer.
At least the coffee container, in that percolator, had a lid. The ones my parents used to use never did. So, you still got grains in the finished coffee.
So out of nowhere I was recommended a barista championship final and I saw her..now I’m a huge fan, which is weird because I never see he duo anything coffee related🤣
To be faithful to the old 70’s percolator, Morgan should’ve used ground Folgers or Maxwell House from a can. That’s what all the older folks drank when I was growing up then.
My grandma used to drink her coffee with condensed milk instead of cream or creamer which is pretty common in Germany. So I thought the can opener might also be for a can of condensed milk. Ist‘s just impractical because you can not seal it again… and you have no fridge on the road
Vessi shoes will be sold soon in Metrotown soon a mall in Burnaby BC andThis was fun for us but for me I would only use it as a display and to remind that Perculated coffee is soo wrong
how about a follow up video...... boil the water with out the coffee in it and then try and do some form of a pour over onto the grinds just a thought :) love from canada xoxo
An odd gadget.Thia looks like an offering from a certain gearhead catalog back then. I suppose, as you said, it's a way to avoid gas station coffee. But electric percolators were very common, maybe the most common way to make coffee.
Yo yo Morgannnnn. I'm asking here if you can possibly do a video of some sort on a Moka Pot? I've just bought one and while I'm gonna trial and error it myself anyway I'd love to hear advice from someone who definitely knows what they're talking about. Thank youuuuu
I want a Teasmade Alarm.... they no longer make them. Found a the Barisier but it's $800 and I don't have that, yet. In the meantime is there a Cheaper option for a Coffee maker that can be set to auto-brew your first Cuppa for in the morning?
I do wonder how long that would take to brew when on the road with simply a plug converter? I fear that the DC power will make this a far longer to make and ultimately weird coffee.
I would love it if you could test the Philips Cafe Duo maker that was around everywhere in the 70s and 80s. I have an old one my grandma gave me and I find it odd how it always seems to brew very weak coffee even though it's labelled as a "espresso maker". I would like to know if I'm using it wrong or if it's just a bad coffee maker 🤔
I have a word for what peculators do to coffee. That word is burn. My dad would have the darkest roast coffee and serve it up hot from his peculator. When I first tried to get into coffee (Garfield the cat liked coffee so I wanted to like coffee) there wasn't enough sugar and cream in the world to make it palatable to me.
there’s something about products from this era where shit was just built to last. genuinely since heating elements are pretty simple if the wiring is in good shape and not corroded i’d be surprised if it didn’t work tbh
I always saw "black coffee" as meaning "just coffee." I could see arguments otherwise, but I don't think anyone is gonna start saying "I like my coffee neat." 🙃
I don't think I'd disqualify sugared coffee from being black, if only due to the proverbs. Not sure they're all genuine, but there are a lot of them. There's the famous Turkish one: "black as hell, strong as death, sweet as love." Saw this one linked to Poland: "black as the devil, and sweet like a stolen kiss." This is attributed to French diplomat Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord: "Black as the Devil, Hot as Hell, Pure as an angel, Sweet as love."
I wonder if anyone sells a travel brewer that works like a moka pot with a built in heating element. I guess there's a bit more danger of explosion if it's defective.
Everything about this thing screams 70s. I feel like my parents had one of these when I was growing up, though we never used it outside of the house unless when we were camping. I know we had a plug in percolator and those cups look really familiar. This would have been the 80s
Please talk more about the origin and tasting notes of coffees you sample, as I regularly find very limited comments on most reviewers when focusing on gear overall.
The "bottle opener" is also an old school can opener (no moving parts I know right?) and old cans of coffee came in sealed cans that didn't have pull tabs
Something I didn’t know! Fascinating! Thanks for sharing :)

Percolated coffee can be really good. It gets a bad rap sometimes because it gets over brewed
nice to see you agan 👍🌹 welcome back
I actually have the 4 cup version 😁mine is called the “home ‘n away”
My grandma used to drink her coffee with condensed milk instead of cream or creamer which is pretty common in Germany. So I thought the can opener might also be for a can of condensed milk. Ist‘s just impractical because you can not seal it again… and you have no fridge on the road
Vessi shoes will be sold soon in Metrotown soon a mall in Burnaby BC andThis was fun for us but for me I would only use it as a display and to remind that Perculated coffee is soo wrong
take a shot for every "let it be known"
how about a follow up video......
boil the water with out the coffee in it and then try and do some form of a pour over onto the grinds
just a thought :)
love from canada

Oh, sweetheart, you're making me feel ancient.
Technology connections would love and hate this at the same time
I'd like to know how long 12V would take to boil that pot. If ever.
Thanks for the awesome content and great video!!💯🔥
MDC: "The 70's"
Me: "Ah, 30 years ago"
MDC: "A good 50 years ago"
Oh no I'm old.
You can just tell a piece of kitchenware is from the 70s if its in brown and beige or has flower patterns on it.
An odd gadget.Thia looks like an offering from a certain gearhead catalog back then. I suppose, as you said, it's a way to avoid gas station coffee. But electric percolators were very common, maybe the most common way to make coffee.
Next October, cosplay as a Vulcan from Star Trek while casually doing videos as normal.
Uh...please? I forgot to ask and say please.
Okay, now I feel really old when a 'vintage' brewer comes with a freaking car charger....
you should try a bew pipe or bripe. I thiink you would have a blast with it
Does it plug in to a cigarette lighter?
Yo yo Morgannnnn. I'm asking here if you can possibly do a video of some sort on a Moka Pot? I've just bought one and while I'm gonna trial and error it myself anyway I'd love to hear advice from someone who definitely knows what they're talking about.
Thank youuuuu
I think it was, for a realistic test, should have been ground 3 weeks ago.
It's time for the percalator
It's time for the percolator
Imma shake what my grandma gave me
Imma shake my coffee maker
The can opener was probably for opening your can of ground coffee lol
If this was four days earlier, you could have dressed up as 1970s Morgan.
Somebody make a bot commenting "General Kenobi" on this girl's videos.
I want a Teasmade Alarm.... they no longer make them. Found a the Barisier but it's $800 and I don't have that, yet.
In the meantime is there a Cheaper option for a Coffee maker that can be set to auto-brew your first Cuppa for in the morning?
I do wonder how long that would take to brew when on the road with simply a plug converter? I fear that the DC power will make this a far longer to make and ultimately weird coffee.
I would love it if you could test the Philips Cafe Duo maker that was around everywhere in the 70s and 80s. I have an old one my grandma gave me and I find it odd how it always seems to brew very weak coffee even though it's labelled as a "espresso maker". I would like to know if I'm using it wrong or if it's just a bad coffee maker 🤔
I have a word for what peculators do to coffee. That word is burn. My dad would have the darkest roast coffee and serve it up hot from his peculator. When I first tried to get into coffee (Garfield the cat liked coffee so I wanted to like coffee) there wasn't enough sugar and cream in the world to make it palatable to me.
there’s something about products from this era where shit was just built to last. genuinely since heating elements are pretty simple if the wiring is in good shape and not corroded i’d be surprised if it didn’t work tbh
For opening the can of coffee
I always saw "black coffee" as meaning "just coffee." I could see arguments otherwise, but I don't think anyone is gonna start saying "I like my coffee neat." 🙃
General Kenobi 0:00
a canonical SW reference
I don't think I'd disqualify sugared coffee from being black, if only due to the proverbs. Not sure they're all genuine, but there are a lot of them.
There's the famous Turkish one: "black as hell, strong as death, sweet as love."
Saw this one linked to Poland: "black as the devil, and sweet like a stolen kiss."
This is attributed to French diplomat Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord: "Black as the Devil, Hot as Hell, Pure as an angel, Sweet as love."
Men would brew a coffee at 200kph rather than talking yo the girl they like
I wonder if anyone sells a travel brewer that works like a moka pot with a built in heating element. I guess there's a bit more danger of explosion if it's defective.
The bottle opener is probably for opening canned milk.
Everything about this thing screams 70s.
I feel like my parents had one of these when I was growing up, though we never used it outside of the house unless when we were camping. I know we had a plug in percolator and those cups look really familiar. This would have been the 80s
Please talk more about the origin and tasting notes of coffees you sample, as I regularly find very limited comments on most reviewers when focusing on gear overall.
Noted!
I love your content I love you 💘
is it brewer or old nuclear codes ?
We’ll never know
Let it be known, the difference is minor.
Take a shot for every let it be known 👀
That sounds dangerous
Where are the freakish ears on a stand? Did Frank steal them?
Black coffee, to me, is straight coffee. I would call your two cups here black and sweetened.
