After all these years of suffering with the electric coffee makers
such as Mr. Coffee and all other brands which make lukewarm nasty
tasting coffee disbursed by these marvels of technology, I finally
decided to get a non-electric percolator which makes coffee the
old-fashioned way of 50 years ago.
I chose the Farberware Yosemite Percolator which I got online at
for $19.99. The coffee which it brews is actually hot
and actually has a taste. It works best with cheap coffee. I prefer
Chase & Sanborn but I can't find that brand in Texas. So I use
Master Chef which I can buy at Wally World in Boerne. 33 ounces
for $5.35. Master Chef is roasted by Massimo Zanetti (which also
roasts Chase & Sanborn).
The Yosemite Percolator is a 10 cup percolator.
We have an electric range. After many attempts at how to make the
perfect pot of coffee, here is my routine:
For a full pot of coffee, use 4 giant scoops of cheapo coffee.
Our electric range has a burner setting from 0 to 10.
I select the 5 setting and perc for 25 minutes.
Then I select the 2 setting and perc for 8 minutes.
Then I turn off the range and let the coffee set on an
unused cold burner for another 2.7 minutes.
The coffee is then ready to drink.
Pour as many cups as you wish.
Put excess coffee in a thermal carafe to keep the remaining
coffee scalding hot.
I tried in vain to find a stainless steel vacuum coffee pot
but could find none. So I selected the Yosemite percolator
instead. I am pleased as punch with my purchase.
To all you coffee freaks, I recommend this Yosemite percolator.
As an aside, I suggest you also buy the glass percolator top
for a few dollars on to replace the yukko plastic
top which comes standard with the Yosemite.
Anyone else out there frustated with lukewarm foul tasting
coffee? Ditch those Mr Coffee and related copy cat devices
and go back to the future with a percolator!!!!
Have a swell day,
The Coffeemeister
