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.
