The last time I was in Australia, many people were still using coffee machines. LOL. 

 

 

That must have been early 80's then. You don't even see them in hotels anymore.

Where did you go where you saw a percolator?

 

I am serious when I say I have not seen one for decades. I can't even imagine what business would serve percolated coffee.

Are you talking about one of these?

That is not the same thing as a drip coffee machine.

Hi cavoodle. I am a coffee/caffeine nutter. I drink it strong, hot and black. I love my Harris Colombian .......and have a change to something different ev so often. Don't mind grinding my own with a grinder gadget I have.

Used to drip perc my coffee then several years back watched evrybody else fly around buying the latest coffee machines.....many spent thousands, I kid ye not! Pod gadgets (blah!) artificial flavoured coffee imo (no offence people I may have offended *Yeeks!)...

 

 

..........anyhoo forget spending all the BIG BUCKS on one of these OVER RATED machines - that never get the coffee as hot as a kettle freshly boiled and poured imo. Buy a couple of quality coffee plungers.

They are the best. Make it FRESH, HOT and drink it straight away. yummoSmiley Very Happy

No I mean a drip coffee with filters etc. We used to call them percolators here as well as drip.

Actually paints a good plunge press is not bad. But the coffee HAS to be seriously good quality and needs to be ground to just the right consistency.

 

Otherwise it tastes...just like percolated coffee lol.

Yes it does have to be seriously good quality.....hence what I saved on buying 2 plungers (a 4-6 cuupa for ev day use and a larger for visitors) I spend on seriously good quality already ground as this is better than I can grind for consistency in my grinder. But my grinder comes seriously close! Seriously!!

*..takes a few serious sips of hot brewed coffee

I don't like to use too hot just boiled water.

I've got a cheapish De Longhi that's not too large, heats up fast and makes good coffee.
