Taste of Percolated Coffee
Today, just about every where you look, people are using the automatic drip coffee makers. You can hardly find a percolator on the shelves of your local discount department stores. Percolators may well be out of vogue, but there are still a few of us (me) who prefer the taste of percolated coffee and still use an electric percolator every single day (several times).
Percolators have gotten to be rather expensive, too. I remember when I could buy a percolator for about ten bucks. Today, they cost closer to $90, and that is IF you can even find one.
It is just my opinion, of course, but perked coffee smells better. There is an aroma that can be enjoyed from a distant room early in the morning. A pot of coffee perking and bacon frying is the surest way that there is to get those lazy bones out of the bed and to the breakfast table.
And then there is the scientific fact that there is simply more caffeine in a pot of perked coffee than there is in a pot of dripped coffee. There is even more caffeine in perked coffee than there is in espresso or cappuccino.
Perked coffee is hotter when it comes out of the pot than dripped coffee. You can linger a bit longer over a cup before it gets too cold to drink.
And don’t forget about the memories that are brought to mind when you smell a pot of coffee perking. I’d bet that your parents and your grandparents drank perked coffee. If you close your eyes and think about it, you can nearly smell that perked coffee on the back of the stove all those many years ago.
Have I convinced you? Perked coffee is just so far superior to drip coffee!
