you can buy the filters for those perc @ walmart, I use a perc all the time my wife hates the smell of Coffee so I have to make it in the garage on my campstove
That's "grounds" for divorce!

Will someone explain why percolated coffee has to use courser ground coffee than a drip coffee maker? I just buy the preground Eight O'clock coffee for my electric percolator and it tastes fine. I assume it's ground for a drip coffee maker. Would my coffee improve if I used a courser grind in my percolator? Why?
AH!! Coffe at camp, the old perc is the easy way out , but good, still make it in the pot over the fire, realy the only difference is adding egg shells to the grounds while the water boils
... BTW, it's a crime against nature to add sugar or milk...
Took me a few years to learn this.
I now understand.

Fill with water to just below the bottom of the basket, use regular grind coffee (about 7-9 heaping table spoons full), assemble and put on stove. Let it perk for about 5 minutes and enjoy.
I found a percolator in my aunt's things, this style below. I'm not a coffee drinker but thought I might use it for company or camping trips, it brings back memories of camp trips when I was a kid.
I'm guessing you measure out the correct water, and then the proper amount of grinds go into the basket, then what?
Do you heat the water before inserting the basket, or just put it all on the stove cold?
I remember at some point you see the coffee percolating in the glass handle up top, how do you know when the coffee is done brewing? Can you use any type of grinds, or some especially for percolator pots?
Thanks.
Revereware...quality coffee pot. I have an old drip version of that.

Fixed.
I was going to say...
4-5 tablespoons for 5 minutes would be like drinking tea.

Maybe more porous, allowing more water to pass through all the coarse grounds as opposed to a limited area in the fine grinds?

So you don't need the paper filters that drip uses.
Coarser ground coffee won't go through the holes in the percolator.
Finer ground coffee releases more flavor (more surface area)

Any extractive metallurgist could tell you that.

Since I don't have a problem with grounds getting into my coffee, I guess what I use is OK.

Providing the water passes through all the grinds, and not just the center 50%.
In addition to fine coffee, you can make another hot drink......will have to find the recipe, I guess..it had pineapple juice cranberry juice, brown sugar and a cinnamon stick in the basket with maybe a clove......good stuff.
Always had a peculator at deer camp either sitting on the wood stove, or the converted propane stove.

That sounds like something you could put a little kick to.
