Re: Coffee Maker
Getting the timing will be the trick. You will get the hang of it as you use it. With the electric peculators, they stop boiling automatically. If you are using a percolator with flame heat, then it will be a bit more tricky.
One thing I can say is that somewhere along the way, somebody convinced folks to use paper filters with their percolators. This really is unnecessary. If you use pre-ground Folgers or others, the grind is just right. If you grind your own, set the grind for percolator and not any finer. This will keep the coffee dust from passing through the metal mesh filter.
Tasters Choice? Bleck. I am not a fancy pants man, but freeze dried coffee is so different from real coffee that instant should not be called coffee. Call it something else like "Hot 'n' Brown" or something, but not 'coffee'.
