Anyone making coffee with a stove top percolator

Help! My UNWATCHED Pot is BOILIN'!!!!

Well, here's another "Going from me testing it, to testing ME!"; long story short:

We get up for our weekly morning Mon.-Fri. routine, to get our daughter off to school... Her Kindergarten starts after 8:00, we live right near her school, few blocks walking distance, though the trek must begin bet. 7:30 and 7:35... Mom usually accompanies her, while I occasionally join the two, or do the even more occasional escorting her alone--and always weather permitting, sometimes taking a 'scenic route', to get in more walking exercise on the way home...

 

Anyway--short story, long? The same thing as above, only fewer "un-charred grounds", so w/ it on the stove filled w/ water 1/2 way to up "6", right now, we're gonna see!

Some people have their X-Boxes--me, it's my Java Pot!

Quick Post-Script:

 

Anxiously return from the school... Get the burner quickly rockin'--and mind you, the water's half-way full! But this time with more time, let it boil as it would w/ a full-serving...

 

So, result:

Finished perfectly & found myself w/ the Joe flowin' through my veins & my Java Jive meaning a few frequent trips to the bathroom (having to really hold it, driving my wife to our daughter's Sunday Schol to retrieve her Winter boots left there, then dropping myself off at home when I couldn't clench it any longer, with my wife going to Laura's Kindergarten to bring 'em to her there!)

 

I felt too anxious in this situation, in other words, to let anything sit til later (as I often handle most failures, or at least the previous one), so I will after adapting to these new ups & downs and getting into the swing of how mornings here are & the hang of percolating in an era where Revereware has become Farberware, (Yes, ironically, 'Made In China' is seen on every piece of the fixture!) hope to have a clean slate & always do an Old School Brew!

 

Get ready, Ned! You're getting unplugged & "put to bed"...

Where's Ned???? Ned!!!! Where Are You????!!!! And where's the TOASTER!!!! Oh, it's over THERE!!!! But, NED!!!! Where are YOU???? Oh, THERE You ARE!!!!  Now where is your Carafe????!!!! There it is!!!! It's in its BOX!!!! Oh, now it's UP THERE!!!!

 

Yes, amongst more trial & error & mostly trial, of adding more water & maintaining a strong brew, (and I even was up at FIVE!) I have officially declared my percolator pot (Duchie, though Coochie, in some ways--as in "pass the"--The Musical Youth song seems to be an earworm right now) to be my official coffee making tool...

 

Need to decide on location: Stove top or my toaster's former headquarters, of which is left a pile of bread crumbs & I needed it on that more open area of my countertop...  (DaveAMKrayoGuy, singing off!)
