Make Great Tasting Coffee with a Percolator

Often referred to as a cafettiera in Italy, a coffee perculator is the traditional machine used to brew coffee. Although still available as stove top models, more modern electric percolators provide more features.

There are a few different machines available to make coffee, such as espresso machines and French presses, but traditional coffee percolators are still pretty popular. The coffee produced from percolators can be quite strong and if you haven’t used one before it can take a few times of trial and error until you can make a nice cup of coffee.

The aromas that percolators create are fantastic and are great to have around the kitchen. Most percolators can produce many cups of coffee and can keep it warm for a considerable amount of time.

Percolators from Faberware are popular purchases. Their line includes models that can make 4, 8, or 12 cups of coffee at a time and come in fine chrome finishes. There are plenty of brands and models to choose from though, like Cuisinart, Sona, Hamilton Beach, Dualit and Prestige.

The Prestige percolator comes full of features, such as a ’stay warm’ feature so that your coffee can be kept and drank sometime after your first cup. Furthermore, there is a ready light to notify you when your coffee is ready to drink and an automatic boil dry safety cut-off and overheat protector.

The Dualit percolator is cordless, and in as little as 9 minutes can serve 10 cups of coffee. This machine also includes a ’stay warm’ function and ready neon light. When choosing your percolator there is not only the brands to choose from, but also the type of percolator.

Although an electric coffee perculator is commonly bought, there are still stove top models that you can buy. These can of course sit on the stove and keep warm whilst filling the kitchen with a nice aroma. The choice is yours!
