I'm confused and wondering if this little more than trolling. On the
one hand you are "poor" and are "presently building my own
spring-wound timer switch box from parts that I bought at Home Depot. I
was going to use it on the drip maker too, so it would shut off after
it brews and I can have cold coffee after a couple of hours, without
worrying about forgetting it."
On the other hand you are looking at $80.00 Cuisinart coffee makers,
which would seem like quite an extravagance.
Yes, percolators do make coffee...I think I still have a Corningware
percolator from the early 1970's somewhere. Is it drinkable coffee -
sure it is - we consumed many a pot over cards. But if you brew good
coffee in a decent cone filter machine you find flavors and smoothness
that will be just astoundingly good. The percolator boils the coffee
over and over and over and in the process cooks all those wonderful
flavors away and actually burns the coffee a bit.
