I thought those percolators were universally regarded as making the worst coffee? (I guess they would work if you like super-strong gut rot.)

I have gone back and forth between many Coffee Makers and this puppy rocks. Make coffee and go have a smoke and and come back, 12 cups are ready to go. I use filtered water (osmosis) for all coffee pot and still some only made it months. We drink some coffee here. This coffee pot is almost 4 years old.

AllGold, you may be right haha... Yet I’m still happy to try for awhile, at least as an alternate rig.
My parents where fond of coffee made with an electric percolator. When it went caput, they already where hard to find, and had to settle with a drip maker, oh the suffering...

I think it's of the era and the coffee that was used. Percolating is like making Greek or Turkish coffee, with the benefits of not having to wait 20 minutes for the grounds to settle.

Yep, I think the quality of coffee has improved in the time since George & Gracie were flogging Maxwell House...

Agree! I remember my grandparents in NC drank percolated Luzianne.
Black as crude oil, that stuff would wake the dead!
my non-scientific theory:
Percolators, siphon brewers, & french press leave the coffee in contact
with the hot water longer than auto-drips (ADC). Better & stronger brew.
That's an issue Bunn, Cuisinart, & Krupps have addressed by reaching
higher water temp with a controlled release on the coffee. Something
your average < $50 cheapo ADC can't do.
