Agreed. In forty-odd years of racing and cruising I have never seen coffee
made in an electric percolator. O.K., for convenience we use instant coffee,
but there must be lots of ways to make real coffee without a percolator.
Those Italian aluminum percs you sit on the stove top would surely make a
good cuppa?

Hi Dennis,
I would advise against the aluminium ones as they seem to grow
'nodules" inside the bottom water reservoir after a time.

Their are many stainless steel ones on the market that will last
longer and not eventually develop a 'taste' as the aluminium ones seem
to do after a while..

Whatever type you get, they are definitely better than dripolater ones
and be sure to buy at least one spare rubber seal when you purchase
the unit.

cheers
Peter
