Electric Percolator

What's an Electric Percolator?

The electric percolator is a classic brewing method that delivers rich, robust coffee with ease. It’s dependable, hands-off, and perfect for mornings when you want strong coffee without slowing down.

What You'll Need

 It doesn’t take much to plug in and perk up.

• Electric Coffee Percolator
• Coffee beans
• Water
  

Step 1 

Start with fresh, cold water, and fill your percolator with your desired amount of water for how many cups of coffee you’d like to brew. 

Step 2 

Next, grind your beans to a medium-coarse grind. Measure the coffee grounds based on your preference and the strength you like. A general guideline is to use 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds per 6 ounces of water, but adjust the amount according to your taste. If you like a stronger brew, add more grounds, or if you’d like a mellow cup, try adding less.

Step 3 

Assemble your pot, place it on a heat source. Whether its your stove or a campfire, try to keep heat to medium-low or medium to prevent the water from boiling too rapidly. 

Step 4 

As the water heats up, it will begin to percolate through the coffee grounds and up the stem. You will hear that beautiful bubbling sound. 

Step 5 

Brew for 7-10 minutes, depending on strength preference, but be sure not to brew too long. Going over 15 minutes can result in a less delicious brew.

Step 6

Enjoy!
