Meet Perky

This is how he arrived.

 

[jasonl]

Yay!

A little hazy but in awesome shape.

Meet Perky!

And of course... Mello Joy for the maiden run.

 

[jasonl]

YAY!

Not bad for the first time. I turned the heat on high and after it started perking, I cut the power and it perked and perked and perked. After I thought the coffee was ready I moved it over to a non-heated burner and let it finish perking.

What you see is the end result. A SMOOTH but full bodied cuppa coffee. Yes, I know, I like a little coffee in my cream.

Jason,

Congrats on your little perky. Not that I had any influence at all on your decision, but, perky is better.
Go forward and start your day perking.

May Helen find you always perky.

decaf?

isn't it illegal in most places to use decaf in vintage percolators?

We grew up with this coffeemaker! Dad always made it too strong.

It was 8:00pm when I made the coffee, otherwise I would've used the real stuff, like right now! Ahh the quiet morning interrupted by a clanking glass percolator.

Love those glass percs!

Good score! I used to have one of those. So did Samantha Stevens.
