Percolaters _are_ somewhat difficult to clean. You need a special
brush to clean the stem. A dirty coffee pot will cause bad coffee. You
can make decent coffee with a percolater, its not impossible by any
means. All you really have to do is clean the pot and don't let it
perk too long. There are also non electric drip coffee makers, if you
don't like percolators. I remember the first automatic drip coffee
makers, in 1970 or so. People did drink the stuff before that. They
must make better coffee than perk or they wouldn't have taken over so
much of the market. I think there is a coffee newsgroup which I might
look for.
