“How does an electric percolator know when to stop. Oddly can’t find this answer on first two pages of google easily :)”➕
“Be careful, the really old antique percolators didn't know, you had to time them and unplug them.”➕
Cheaper percolators may stop brewing when water is low
“Cheaper percolators stop once there is no water in the tank anymore. Yes, I'm looking at you, you Melitta shits.”➕
Can overheat water leading to poor coffee
“they do violate some of the basic tenants of coffee making by overheating the water and running it through the grounds multiple times.”➕
Percolators can produce burnt or over-extracted coffee
“They put the water through the coffee at boiling temp (bad) and then continue to boil the brewed coffee (even worse) and brew for too long.”➕

Buyer’s Cheat Sheet

What to check before you click ‘Add to Cart.’
Confusion between percolators and drip coffee machines
“Way too many people here are confusing percolators and drip coffee machines.”➕
“It’s also confusing because drip and pourover undergo the percolation process in brewing.”➕
Lack of variety in coffee percolator recipes
“there just isn't a variety of "coffee percolator recipes" like there is for Aeropress or V60, and it doesn't require as much dialing-in as espresso, either.”➕

Cautionary Callouts

Know the pitfalls before they catch you off guard.
Percolators' negative reputation due to reheating coffee
“The reason the coffee is so terrible is it continually drips back down into the tank and the coffee itself is reheated and boiled up through the basket over and over again, just continually over extracting the coffee even after the grounds are long spent.”➕

“Two years ago I did a deep dive to try to find exactly what you’re looking for and couldn’t find any.”➕
“We just use a French press...”➕
Discussion on longevity of manual coffee makers compared to electric ones
“And it made me realize that that’s probably by design.”➕
“My French Press is over 20 years old. Cost me $30, and it'll last forever, as long as I don't drop it.”➕
“Both of these methods will put any electric coffee maker to shame.”➕
“A Technivorm Moccamaster is a BIFL coffee maker. It also, and most don't, gets the water hot enough to brew good coffee.”➕
Preference for other brewing methods like moka pots
“Hoooooooleeee Jesus. That's a baller ass cup of coffee.”➕
Discussion on alternative coffee brewing methods
“Ever try butter or egg coffee, trust me, with a perk you would love it! God Bless those Swedes!!”➕
