I'm so addicted to coffee

, but I've NEVER used a percolator, ever! I've read they make the best coffee, but I've also read that they don't, so I never bought one.

I am a big fan of percolated coffee, old-fashioned on-the-burner Revere percolator. Perhaps it's just in my head, but the flavor always seems just right.

perked vs drip

I think it has more to do with the actual coffee and measurements although all being equal and correct there is a difference in the "taste" but nothing objectionable. You can have dreadful perked coffee and dreadful drip coffee and vice versa.
Even the grind of the coffee makes a big difference, surprisingly there are alot of people don't know that drip grind and perc grind are different and not really interchangeable even if it's all from the same beans. They don't even look at the can to check etc aka my partner

Are you kidding? People don't look at the label? Shock. I work at a grocery, you'd be AMAZED at what people return simply because they didn't read.

Here's my espresso maker I've had forever, it's electric and works like a charm, called the Vesuvio and made in Italy

Pete what an interesting expresso maker!! What time are you serving? It was great talking with you tonight.
