[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

Thu Feb 6 15:36:02 UTC 2014

I used to take a small percolator with me when I traveled.  I would buy a 
can of coffee and milk when I got where I was going.  Pam.

Yup, you can get "dregs" in the last cup or 2, but in my humble opinion this
is a minor nuisance compared to the advantages of continuously hot coffee
and the compactness which enables easy stowage for travel. Of course many
hotels provide drip perks in the room, but I find most of them to be less
than impressive.
Best regards,

Pardon me if I'm wrong. But don't the percolators leave ground some stuff in
the bottom.
I've heard they do that?
Any clarification would be great.
