Coffee pot

[toggleswitch]

Hey Sparkly!

The maximum wattage we normally see on a general-duty circuit is 1,500w. Your (3,000w on 220v)and our (1,500w on 110v) would draw similar amperage. Similar amperage would reguire a similar wire gauge (thickness).

Our kitchen electrics are generally not grounded/earthed. Perhaps there are three conductors in your flex power cord and *only* two in ours?

The tea kettle that I own and referenced in my link draws 1,500 watts.

Cheers!

volts * amps = watts
watts/volts =amps
watts/amps = volts

E=I*R
electomotive force (volts)= amps * resistance (in ohms)
amps= volts/resistance
resistance volts/amps

3 Pryex Brothers

Here are the three next to each other. I hear life comes in three sizes: Unimpressive, average, and OMG~!

Finished Brew

Who is having a cup?

 

[scott55405]

Very cool! I was always led to believe that glass cookware would not work on a smoothtop range. Obviously, I was receiving the wrong information!

 

[toggleswitch]

Yup

I heard it is best not to use cast-iron in that it can scratch the surface.

Otherwise a smooth and flat bottom helps the job get done.

Speaking of psychedelic moments.......

OOPS~!.........

Forgot to add the text at the above post

Here is one of those KEWL coffeemakers......

Speaking of which........

 

[gadgetgary]

Oh, here's another one...

Labeled "Manhattan"
It's blue and white
He is holding a very festive cock-tail
And there's rainbows everywhere
Does this remind you of anyone??????

 

[toggleswitch]

Oh child, methinks you are playing with fire!

LOL.

NO IDEA who you could possibly mean! *WINK*

 

[gadgetgary]

Any Hoovers in your collection?

Uhhhmmmmm...Yes

How does this grab you?

And PRESTO....Here it is~!

 

[polkanut]

I think I see a covert trip to Connecticut in the future to pilfer that psychedelic GE percolator. Beware!

 

[gadgetgary]

The HOOVER Debut

In all it's glory~!

 

[gadgetgary]

.........with a copper-tone coffee basket

The hoover is on the left.
Its twin Presto in the middle, another version of the Presto on the right.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Yay!

I have that Hoover, too! Thanks for the picture!

[gadgetgary]

Sisters are doing it.........

And guess who came to visit and PARTY for the Memorial Day weekend?????

It the FABULOUS GE Perk 'Sistas', but, I don't know why they brought a ratty old box with them? Must have been some leftover baggage, tradition....or something....

 

[tlee618]

Gary your collection is amazing. I think you need to have a coffee maker convention! LOL Terry

 

[gadgetgary]

That is what Memorial Day is all about

L@@K~!

Cousins coming out of the woodwork...for a big family celebration....Short, fat, squat, old.....but family......
Isn't that the most important thing???????

 

[gadgetgary]

And isn't anyone a bit curious???????

Just what do you think our festive Merman is sitting on?????

 

[gadgetgary]

Gary your collection is amazing. I think you need to have a

Terry,

A convention? What a great idea.

What could the 'colorful' theme possibly be????

Perks, stems, knobs, buttons, dials, baskets, plugs, cords, spreaders, and Oh yeah.......

A Big Urn

 

[tlee618]

You are so right Gary, family is what it is all about!! Your collection is awesome!! Terry

Shall We Dance?

The song that goes, "Percolater, Percolator. I like coffee and I like tea. Another cup a coffee is enough for me. I like coffee and I like tea. Another cup a coffee is enough for me. Percolater,Percolater."
I love to dance and always said, I'd rather dance than have sex. At least I know I'll have a partner!
That was a song in the post war era and ia a great tune to do the Jitterbug with.
So, when is the convention and who is the band?

[gadgetgary]

Oh child, methinks you are playing with fire!

Miss Manhattan......

Too much to drink?

Too much to eat???

Laying in that vertical compromising position????

Can I perk you some CAW-FEE so you can kick back....relax....enjoy with some hot fresh spurting brew??????

 

[toggleswitch]

Just what do you think our festive Merman is sitting on?????

--blush--
Is this a TRICK question?

Tell us Mr. Gadget.... Just WHAT is he sitting on?

 

[polkanut]

I have the yellow GE, and my parents have the black one. They are SUPER fast, and make a delicious brew.

 

[gadgetgary]

Tell us Mr. Gadget.... Just WHAT is he sitting on?

It is an absolutely FABULOUS genuine Corning Ware tea kettle. It is solid Corning Ware throughout...as well as the lid. It is quite heavy, and, as the perk that was made of porcelain, I believe that a 'hernia' is right in line as you serve your favorite beverage with boiled water. It is just so 'one of a kind' and a show stopper.

Is this a TRICK question?

Methinks you are in the wrong season.......
Trick or Treat...Smell my f**t........

Rucks and Duns

 

[toggleswitch]

BOO!

Thanks for the update!

 

[gadgetgary]

BOO!

Hmmmm...Could I possibly have left the infamous toggleswitch speechless? Hair ball dear?....Clear that throat and get back to us....

Dental floss????

BOO~!

 

[scott55405]

Love those GE percolators! Funny, the one with the interesting color metal, I saw one of thos on Ebay once and thought it was damaged. I could not *imagine* what they had done to that coffeemaker! And here, that's the way it apparently was all along! The oldest of the black trimmed ones of this style has a stainless steel, rather than black, lid.

Do any of yours have their mini-baskets??
