How do you make coffee with a percolator?
A cup of comfort, who doesn't get happy?
Do you ever make coffee with a percolator?
You've probably seen it in someone's home: a metal jug on the stove to make coffee.
It looks complicated, but fortunately, making coffee with a percolator is not difficult.
In this blog, you can read in detail how a percolator works.
How does a percolator work?
A percolator is a metal jug, in which the coffee sits at the top and the water at the bottom.
By putting the percolator on a heat source, you bring the water to a boil.
This causes the water to pass through the filter under pressure, collecting the coffee at the top of the percolator.
Making coffee in a percolator does require some patience, as it is a form of slow coffee.
But trust us, you get delicious coffee in return.
This is what you need for the tastiest percolator coffee
To make coffee with a percolator there are only a few necessities:
Fill the reservoir of the percolator with water ( this is lower part of the percolator). Please note That you don't fill the reservoir to the brim, but put it below the valve. Otherwise, the percolator will overflow and fail to brew coffee.
Add the ground coffee, filling the filter to the brim with ground coffee. Be careful which coffee you use. It is important to use coffee that has been roasted for filter coffee and ground finely. Then you will get the tastiest result!
Put the percolator on the heat source it is time to bring the water to a boil. Put the percolator on the medium heat setting, not too hot. Give the water time to boil gently so that the coffee does not burn. Most old-fashioned percolators are only suitable for gas because they are made of aluminium.
Let the coffee percolate well As the water boils, water vapour comes out of the hollow tube at the top. You can hear the coffee being brewed by the bubbling of the percolator.
As soon as the simmering stops, it is important to remove the coffee from the heat source immediately. If you leave the percolator on too long, you risk burning the coffee.
You can pour the coffee directly from the percolator into your mug or cup pour. Enjoy!
