[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

Fri Feb 7 01:02:04 UTC 2014

Hi all,

My family never liked the coffee from the old electric perculator, and it is 
probably in my attic.  What we liked best was using the metal perculator 
that goes on the stove; I use this almost daily.  I didn't know packs were 
made for perculators.
