- What grind should I use in a percolator?
- Coarse, percolator-specific grounds. Fine grinds clog the basket and pass into the cup.
- Does it keep the coffee warm?
- Yes. It holds the brew at serving heat after the cycle, but long holding makes the coffee bitter.
- How many cups does it make?
- Eight cups, which suits a small household or a gathering.
- Can I put the parts in the dishwasher?
- The stainless body and basket are typically hand-washed to protect the finish and the wood handle.
- Is percolated coffee different from drip?
- Yes. Recirculating water gives a stronger, heavier cup that many find less clean than drip.
- Does it have a timer?
- No. You start it manually and it brews and then holds the pot warm.
- Where is the Stainless Steel Electric Coffee Percolator 8 Cups cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $197.31, as of our latest check.
