Coffee. How do you take yours?

Where do we stand on perculators?

Some younger viewers may need to Google this.

They are supposed to make the worst coffee. I remember we had one as a kid and the first time I tasted cafetiere coffee, the difference was huge.
 
You haven’t mentioned it, are you a fan of it ?

When I was a kid, I thought percolator coffee was great, because it was the only 'real' coffee I knew. When we had that cafetiere for the first time at a hotel, the difference was huge, and on the first couple of days I didn't really like it. But then I came to realise that it was actually much nicer. I love Moka pot and I love cafetiere. Relatives still use percolators at Christmas etc. and I quite like it still. It's not awful. It's just very different. It's because the brewed coffee keeps getting recirculated through the grounds over and over at a high temperature.
