Stove top percolators have fallen out of favor since electric versions of coffee makers were introduced. Yet, a stove top percolator has the advantage of being always available for use and has no electrical parts that can fail leaving you without that much needed morning cup of coffee. Using a stove top percolator is simple and easy and because it contains no electrical parts is simple to clean after the coffee is gone. Does this Spark an idea?

Now that your
using an old style percolator with the glass dome on top,
when it starts to perk, you can tell how strong it is by how dark
the coffee is getting. The usual amount of time for perked coffee
is about 5 minutes. If you like real strong coffee go for 6
minutes.
Remember the rule of
hand: One teaspoon of coffee grounds per cup of size of perculator
and remember..one extra for the pot they use to say: It is a time
proven formula for great coffee:

I use my Coleman 2 burner stove, and a regular blue metal coffee pot with the filter basket inside. Fill it with water, put in the appropriate amount of coffee in the basket, and turn on the stove. From there I don't know what to do next!!!
Do I wait till it boils and turn it down? Do I just boil it till it's done? How long is that? How can I stop the coffee from bubbling over the filter and getting into the water to make it crunchy? I don't mind the crunch actually, but it drives my husband crazy!
We like stronger coffee, and prefer the robust French Roast blend from Starbucks. Strong yes, mud no. It seems that no matter what I've tried (different amounts of coffee, different times of perking, different brands of coffee) I end up wit…
