I used to use a percolator since childhood.  Then when I met my husband 14 years ago, he turned me on to the French press, so that is all we use.  I did love my percolator, too.

@tends2dogs nothing wrong with instant!  I have some in the pantry for times when I just want one cup.  My parents loved their instant coffee.  I bought my mom a Keurig and she would use it to heat up her coffee and then put her instant Sanka in   

There are some days where we have quite a bit left... then I store it in the fridge for iced coffee later.

@SurferWife I've never tried a french press.  Do you use the same type of ground coffee in those?

When mine died, I did not replace it - perk coffee is the best.

I love my Farberware percolator; nothing keeps coffee hot like it does.

Also, I use my illy Iperespresso Capsule machine for individual servings.

I use a Hamilton Beach percolator and so does my millennial child. We both think it makes the best coffee.

After all this percolator talk, I think I am going to buy one.  I hate the way my drip coffee tastes.  I only use it when I have overnight guests and it tastes different with every pot.

I would like to know what brand everyone is using.  I want an electric one, not stove top.  The Corning Ware one was recalled back in 79 because the metal spout came loose on some while pouring and people were burned.  I couldn't find where they make them anymore.  

Anyway, any recommendations?  TIA

I do see recommendations for Farberware and Hamiliton Beach.

I have a Presto perculator and it's used daily.  Have had this one for at least 7 or 8 years, probably longer.

Yes, a Corningware stovetop
