Personally I think percolated coffee is my favorite. I used to go to my family cabin with my dad a lot when I was a teen and all of our uncles and everybody would percolate coffee out there and I think just the act of making it is a little more personal and reminds me of those days. Percolated coffee for the win!
I too have a percolator. We've been using a big one since childhood back in the 70's. Right now I have a small stove top (stainless steel generic type) and I've been getting weak coffee with such good grinds so I wonder why and apparently I take it off once I get to see it boiling on the top glass handle/button. So I should let it sit for a few minutes there. This is one of the best videos in TH-cam. Press play and no words or long intros. You just get on with the job. Didn't waste anyone's time. Bravo.
great video. Thank you for the instructions. I just bought a stove top coffee percolator and there weren't any instructions. Just made made my 1st pot of coffee BEFORE watching your video and my coffee was too light. Now I know to let the water boil first, add the coffee insert, lower the heat and wait for 5-7 minutes for yummy coffee!!! Throwing out coffee is a sin, so I will drink this cup, but tomorrow IT"S ON!!!
Amusing to read the comments. I'm old and, when I was growing up, percolators were by far the most commonly used coffee makers. More rarely vacuum siphons and drip techniques were seen. I never knew anyone at all who boiled the water before adding the basket. Also, the grind shown here seems a little fine for the purpose. My grandmother disdained the percolator in favor of simply adding coffee to boiling water in the pot then straining it into cups, like tea. She also insisted on roasting her own coffee and grinding it by hand. And she added eggshells to the pot for a couple of reasons.
Every home in India ,millionaire to poor boil the coffee and tea ,with milk and dash of sugar ,,.... ,,The vast middle class,wonderful life ,of pleasant coffee and tea times in every house and neighborhood ,Never let a guest or visitor leave without a warm cuppa of tea or coffee , Nnot what the high lights of rude media ,of unfortunate incidents
Thank you! I have used my percolator on the grill but never on my stove until today .. when I saw how nasty my regular counter top coffee maker was inside, even after regular cleanings, I decided I wanted something simpler. I remember my grandfather always made his on the stove. .I can still see the pot he used FOREVER sitting on the stove .. of course I made it on the stove top before finding this wonderful tutorial . . .next time will be even better! Thanks again.
When I was a kid we never had a regular coffee pot we only had this type. I never do anything different. Growing up in a small town in Louisiana, a lot of people only had this type. Community coffee taste very good this way. Now, I live in the west and it’s French roast all the way!
Amazing that this video was made. I am almost 66 years old and have been drinking coffee since I was 13. Grew up with percolators both stove top and plug in. So I thought everyone knew how use one and did not need instructions.
@@shirlebug I am surprised. But I should not be, as there have been new methods for making it ie. Mr. Coffee drip machines, Keurigs, and French Presses.
Thank you! I just bought a Coleman 14-cup enamel percolator from Amazon. The videos with men instructors got on my nerves. Your video gave me the most help and proper instructions. The men had me believing that I had to have the water level up to the coffee basket. Who can drink all that coffee alone. I bought the large-size percolator for when I have guests. During the winter months, I desire to drink cowboy coffee every now and then on my days off instead of the drip coffee. However, I usually boil the coffee grounds for a few minutes and let the pot set so the grounds settle before pouring into a coffee cup. Most people turn their nose up on my primitive method. The Coleman percolator is an upgrade to my old method!
Thank you for the comment. Hope you have a great one and take care. If you happen to go camping this summer, please bring this coffee percolator with you. You will not regret. Roxy
So THAT'S how you use those things!!!! I've always seen the silver ones in old films such as imitation of life and raisin in the sun. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing this. I noticed that you have the same exact perculator that my husband and I have. I clicked on your video, because I wanted to surprise him with perculator coffee.
Thank you for your comment. Hope you and your husband enjoy percolator coffee very much. We always bring coleman percolator with us while we travel or go camping. It is also very good for a small group camping,too.
I grew up with my mum making stove top coffee. I use mine on occasion but always keep it around in case the counter one dies or if we have a power outage. Then I like having it no matter what time it is. You can even use them on a grill so sometimes older means are better kept in mind. And I use a wet paper filter in mine and just cook a tad longer.
for me: - It's not the proper way to do it (don't compress the coffee) - video could've been cut down to a 30sec quick tutorial - the person is checking the coffee a bazillion times before it's ready ; just leave it alone.
If you can afford it, percolators were actually meant to be used with coarser/bigger coffee grounds. That way they don't fall through the holes and get in your finished product. You can also put a coffee filter in the basket and press on the top of the tube (to make an indent not to make a hole) to make the coffee filter have a nice snug fit (so it doesn't interrupt water flow too much). That can alleviate the amount of grounds in your cup of coffee.
My drip coffee pot kicked the bucket, this makes #4 in just a few years. I have a stove top old fashioned perkulator coffee maker on order from Amazon. The old technology is fast more reliable and longer lasting.
Wet filter before putting grounds in keeps them from getting in the coffee. I was looking for a video like this. I have always made my coffee on a gas stove I didn't know you could cook it on electric stove being direct heat on pot.👍
Thanks. We purchased a new expresso machine with credit card points. Check it out if you are interested in Breville Barista Expresso machine. th-cam.com/video/iRFYU_fdsps/w-d-xo.html
Glad that your bf loves it. We love Coleman coffee percolator so much too. Very classic and makes good coffee too no matter on the stove or on a campfire.
never wait for water to boil to put basket it.... a key to good/flavorful coffee is bringing the water and coffee up to temperature slowly and at the same time...
HJG HJG I actually have heard the opposite a lot. That letting the coffee warm up with the water, is further cooking the beans and can cause a burnt or bitter flavor. I guess it’s all in your preference. Funny how the whole world drinks coffee but everyone does it differently. I’ve also heard never use boiling water for coffee for the same reason.
Every summer my family goes camping and we attempt to use our Coleman percolator. Now I know how to use it! Thank you. We like a fine ground like is used in this video. Do grounds make it in the coffee?
Threw out the "drip machine" 20 years ago, bought one of these stove-top percolators...great coffee the Old School way. You can also keep your LatteChinoSpressoChino from You-know-who, and all the other high-dollar coffee pushers.
ML Greenspan can you put any amount of water and coffee? I know my mixture for home use and I’m just curious if I could just use the same amount in one of these camping.
@@whatfreedom7 If you want better coffee, throw out the basket. let coffee boil for 2-3 min. Let sit 2-3min. Pour cold water, just a little, in pot.let sit 1 min. Best cup you ever had!
Molon Labe well actually great coffee starts with great beans and filtered water. The rest is what you like. I have made coffee with no basket many times only mostly during power outages and I cook on my fireplace. Either way it starts with a really good coffee bean
When you add the notes of 6 mins later and then 7 mins later, is it in those increments? Or in other words, how long total time on the stove on medium heat?
I’ve never in my life waited for the water to boil BEFORE adding the basket. I grew up making my dad’s coffee, I still do it the way he taught me...grind your beans fresh, fill the basket, add your water and basket, put on stove on medium high heat, and wait for that delicious sound and smell! I wouldn’t think you’d get the full bodied taste of your bean in this manner, seems to me this method would produce a weak brew....a bit strange in my opinion.
It's actually the opposite. Hot water allows the coffee to bloom where as room temp or cold water keeps that from happening, keeping you from tasting the full flavor of the coffee. Assuming you drink quality coffee, otherwise it doesn't matter which way you do it.
So how much time was it? "5 minutes later" then "6 minutes later" then "7 minutes later." If you read it literally, you'd be brewing for 18 minutes. So was it 5+6+7=18 minutes, or was it just 7 minutes in total?
get a tin pan put about 4 cups of water into it, put it on max heat then add 3tsps of grounds, let it come to a rolling boil to boil off the acid and make it taste better, and it's cheaper to do it this way and I have been making it like this for over 13 years. make it this way and you will never go back.
If you throw in about a half a cup of cold water about 1/2 to 1 minute after brewing. The cold water will settle your grinds to the bottom. Or do like my granna did and filter it through your pouring towel.
Heck with the basket. let water warm, add coffee grounds, boil for 2-3 min. take off fire, let sit for 1 min. add cold water you are judge depending on how big pot is. wait 2-3 min. Best coffee you ever had!!!
@@SuperAbebaby Because the cold water will settle the coffee grounds to bottom of pot. Depending on how big your pot is is proportional to how much cold water. Smaller pot= less cold water. I have a 32 cup coffee boiler so i add about a cup and a 1/4. Search cowboy kent rollins cowboy coffee. Very good! I won't make my coffee any other way now. Try it. You will love it! But watch cowboy Kent. Glad i did no regrets. Plus he cooks up a storm!
I make a big pot. L8ke i said i have a 32 cup coffee boiler. My wife and i drink on same batch for around 2 days. I then make another pot. We drink a lot of coffee.Come to find out that was how my mother in laws parents made their coffee. Sometimes the old ways are better.
The grind looks like cocoa powder. Is this for Turkish coffee? I'm just trying to taste the coffee my parents made in the 70s with a countertop percolator-back when Folgers offered perc grind or drip grind.
I got one of the 4cups electric aluminum ones the little knob on top its glass,but i dont know how to use it and cant find any videos of one like mines.
The classic proportion is 1 heaping Tablespoon grounds per 6 oz "cup". 3 cups is 24 oz or 4 x 6. So for a rich American coffee, it should be 4 heaping Tablespoons or 6 level Tablespoons of grounds.
If I normally use 6 cups of water and 3 TBS of coffee in my normal coffee maker can I just use amount in of these or does it have to be a certain level of water?
Hi, you can add water under the level of spout, then bring it to boil. Then you can add the basket into the pot. We normally have at least of half full of ground coffee in the basket. But you only add 3tbs of coffee with 6 cups of water in your coffee maker, maybe for your preference, you can add only 1.5 tbs of coffee.
Pro-Tip: Add a PINCH of baking soda to coffee after taking out stem system & stir before pouring in cup. I know what you’re thinking: “what in the toll-house cookies is he talking about?” Just do it, you’ll be beyond thankful. (Works great on your homemade spaghetti sauce too)
1) a covered pot always boils faster than an uncovered one. 2) clearly, you're using a finely ground coffee. that's incorrect. a regular, drip coffee grind is used. 3) tamping the grounds down is not recommended. you'll only succeed in clogging up the basket. you'll end up having the water and wet grounds leach over the sides of the basket and fill the reservoir with floating grounds. 4) other than that, yeah, you got it.
Go ahead and put a paper filter in the basket. Just poke a hole through the center of the filter to fit the pump stem. Or you can find paper filters specifically for percolators; look at those by Melita. If you don't have any filters on hand, then rinse the basket with cold water and don't shake/dry it out before filling it with your coffee grounds. The water will cause the grinds to clump and less likely to sift down into the basin. If you can grind the coffee yourself, have it ground to the coarsest setting available, then you won't need any of the above tricks.
Is there something I'm missing? Did I buy a defective piece of shit? Why won't my brand new turd of a percolator percolate?!? I'm tried it several times with different instructions and the coffee doesn't even get wet!!!
I appreciate there is no 10 minute introduction on this tutorial with mindless banter. Just straightforward.
Thank you for the nice feedback. Cheers .

@Casey I agree with you, he should either try to buy beans and grind it coarse, or maybe even try making Cowboy coffee.
You can also put a drop of cold water at the spout before you pour the coffee and the grinds will sink to the bottom

I don’t either. These people nowadays have different ideas. Fix everything and put it on the stove.
The water doesn't "perk" till it gets hot. My brother and I had a two cup percolator when we were kids in the 1950s.
Yup Yup
Does the coffee have grounds floating around due to no filter?
do you get a lot of coffee grounds in the cup without a paper filter?
No need a paper filter for coffee percolator.
Good video , to the point . Ty
So how much time was it? "5 minutes later" then "6 minutes later" then "7 minutes later." If you read it literally, you'd be brewing for 18 minutes. So was it 5+6+7=18 minutes, or was it just 7 minutes in total?

I was confused by this as well. Should have said:
5 minutes later
1 minute later
1 minute later

Did you brew the coffee for 18 minutes?! (5+6+7) Or did you brew it for seven minutes?
Wet the basket first, that little bit of water will help keep the coffee from falling through.

No paper filter?
Is this 3 cups of 8 ounces of water, or 5, 6 ounces?
Does not using a filter make it grainy?
merci miltec fait la meme et le cafe est bon
That is some fine ground Colombian.
The classic proportion is 1 heaping Tablespoon grounds per 6 oz "cup". 3 cups is 24 oz or 4 x 6. So for a rich American coffee, it should be 4 heaping Tablespoons or 6 level Tablespoons of grounds.

Hi, you can add water under the level of spout, then bring it to boil. Then you can add the basket into the pot. We normally have at least of half full of ground coffee in the basket.

Thanks found one at a garage sale so no instructions available. I think going back to using a percolator will stretch out my supply of coffee.
We also bring this coffee percolator to go camping and all our friends enjoy the morning coffee at our camp site.
Pro-Tip:
Add a PINCH of baking soda to coffee after taking out stem system & stir before pouring in cup. I know what you’re thinking: “what in the toll-house cookies is he talking about?” Just do it, you’ll be beyond thankful.
(Works great on your homemade spaghetti sauce too)
And in Tomato soup if you have not tried. It has magical properties. Crazy.
What does baking soda do ?
Wow, Coleman isn’t putting a clear glass percolator top on them anymore!
That’s a drag!
So do you keep the stove on high the whole time
No, turn the stove to medium heat once it starts to boil.
Thank you!
How much water did you put?
Did you watch the video from beginning to end?
The lid wont close on mine...
Get a puculator with a glass top so you don't have to take the top off to see the coffee.
Also, if you don't like little bits of coffee grounds in your coffee than you ARE NOT HUMAN
Its not a "filter", its a "basket". Cheers!
Store bought coffee seems too fine for these things . Ive always got grounds in my coffee.
why is it a 9 cup percolator if you only add 3 cups of water?
Because I only wanted to drink 3 cups of coffee myself
1) a covered pot always boils faster than an uncovered one.
2) clearly, you're using a finely ground coffee. that's incorrect. a regular, drip coffee grind is used.
3) tamping the grounds down is not recommended. you'll only succeed in clogging up the basket. you'll end up having the water and wet grounds leach over the sides of the basket and fill the reservoir with floating grounds.
4) other than that, yeah, you got it.
I prefer italian way
My question is how do u not get coffee crumbs in the coffee, its useless as its always gots coffee crumbs. I don't want to drink coffee crumbs
Go ahead and put a paper filter in the basket. Just poke a hole through the center of the filter to fit the pump stem. Or you can find paper filters specifically for percolators; look at those by Melita. If you don't have any filters on hand, then rinse the basket with cold water and don't shake/dry it out before filling it with your coffee grounds. The water will cause the grinds to clump and less likely to sift down into the basin. If you can grind the coffee yourself, have it ground to the coarsest setting available, then you won't need any of the above tricks.
Alternatively, after removing from the heat, let the pot stand for a full minute. I do this and have never had coffee grounds in my coffee cup.
can not compare vintage technology.

Nope…the sight glass on top of a percolator is half the therapeutic experience of brewing a pot of coffee
Is there something I'm missing? Did I buy a defective piece of shit? Why won't my brand new turd of a percolator percolate?!? I'm tried it several times with different instructions and the coffee doesn't even get wet!!!

You pour 3 cups into a 9 cup coffee maker? C’mon man that didn’t tell us anything.
Add a pinch of salt. Makes a world of difference especially with shit coffee.

That's not how you use a percolator
why don’t you tell us all what the right way is then, bitch boy?
I shit myself
Ok so I have the exact 9 cup you have and it completely boiled out of the top and the spout. So I can't really put 9 cups in it? Please help
As soon as the water reaches boiling point, turn down the heat and start timing.
