I use a French Press and agree it's better than drip, but it lacks the romance and quirkiness of a percolator. I think I want to hear my coffee being brewed. Plus, nostalgia sometimes adds nice flavor. :)
I regret starting this. I am now fearing being outbid on vintage percolators by FLers. :eusa_doh:
But otherwise, my pleasure in bringing up good old-fashioned coffee goodness!
As a child I used to love when my grandmother turned on her percolator- I liked the sounds and to watch the coffee swish around through the top handle (it was clear while the body was metal like the one pictured above.)
My mother once played a dirty trick on my father. She made him Sanka one...

I don't trust that all terrorists have been identified and that all terrorists, present, future or wannabe have access to this kind of information, but then again, why would they have to do any work to find it when the media feeds it to them?
There was a time when the most innocent of letters home (V-mail) had to be read and approved by a censor before it was allowed to be sent. I think something like whether or not our defense system is effective should not be considered casual knowledge in the realm of hush hush gossip. It should...
I was just reading this in the news:
March 23 (Bloomberg) -- The
U.S. Navy, after nearly six years of warnings from
Pentagon testers, still lacks a plan for defending aircraft carriers against a supersonic Russian-built missile, according to current and former officials and Defense Department...
I almost started a similar thread because I, too, have been grieving the loss of some people and also pets. I also just wrote a long response and deleted it.
All I want to really say is I am sorry for your losses, but I am so very glad that you reached out to others. I'm also glad that you...
I mentioned in another thread that I love Harrison Fisher. He illustrated the cover of Cosmo from the early 20th Century through the 1930's amongst many other things.
Sorry, no pics handy to post.
