Review on ☕ 8 Cup One-All Stovetop Percolator with Black Handle - 7 in. Dia. X 5.6 in. H by Claudia Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love this percalator. Allows me to enjoy my coffee again

The video shows me testing a portable percalator stove, but I honestly don't recommend it for safety reasons. I mostly use the percalator on the electric stove. After boiling, reduce the heat and cook for 8-10 minutes. To be honest, coffee making time depends on how much you earn. I usually cook for 3-4 people, so I make 8 cups, which is the maximum of this coffee maker. I've made 4 cups once or twice and it took about 6 minutes. Grind the coffee a little thicker so that the coffee grounds do not get into the water. So far so good and I've tried it on gas ranges, electric ranges, mini ranges and campfires. Just make sure the coffee you have isn't ground too fine and you're good to go. So far I've tried regular coffee makers, aero presses, pour over systems, french presses, etc. This is by far the best coffee brewing method for me as the steaming water passes through the ground coffee multiple times so you end up with a bolder/stronger coffee flavor when you let it simmer longer and a lighter, less greasy taste. if you let it simmer for a shorter time. I've never had trouble melting glass no matter how many times I've boiled water with this percalator, but I've also never set it on a heating element without a lot of water. I've read reviews about melting the percalator a few times but that seems like a silly mistake by these folks as I would have to almost try to melt it to do it. The worst thing that happened so far was that the temperature was too high and the water was too high, sometimes water leaked under the lid onto my stove. No big deal, wiped away the mess and reduced the fire. love this shop.

Pros
  • Heat-resistant phenolic handle that can withstand very high temperatures
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
