]]> Most coffee "experts" will tell you that the percolator method of brewing coffee goes against all the rules of how you should make coffee. While the percolator fans will tell you that there is no better cup of coffee than percolator brewed coffee.

Since a percolator cycles brewed coffee back over the grounds over and over, it makes a stronger distinct taste. If you grew up during the percolator era, then it could be a taste you have grown to love. Whether you like the taste of a cup of  percolated or not, no one can deny the wonderful sound the percolator makes while brewing.

The style of the classic percolator pot really has not changed in 50 years, the pots made in the 50's look almost identical to the pots you can buy today. Their shiny classic shape looks awesome on the kitchen counter.

So what is your opinion? Do you love it, hate it, or just tolerate it?coffee_stove_percolate

]]> What are the parts inside the percolator?

Cover Knob

A cover knob on most stove top models is clear so as to watch the progress of the brewing process. Electric percolators may or may not have a clear knob.

Spreader Cover

Spreader Cover

The spreader cover works like the name implies. It's purpose is to spread evenly the flow of hot water over the coffee grounds below. The spreader cover fits over the basket.

Basket

Basket

The basket holds the coffee grounds and can be fitted with a specially designed percolator filter as well. The basket has a hole through which the pump stem comes up to through the spreader.

The pump stem is the what allows the heated water to flow up to the top of the spreader and down through the basket. It will have some rings at the base that sit inside a well at the base of the percolator.

]]> mr coffee cleaner percolatorCleaning a percolator is a simple process. I have found that the Mr. Coffee Cleaner works great on the percolators.  Mix the solution as directed on the box, then run it through the percolator a few times.

If your percolator needs more cleaning simply let the solution soak in the bottom of the machine for a couple days. You can even drop the basket and the spreader into the bottom to soak as well. Many times these parts will have stains that are hard to get, and a good soaking should go along ways.
