For those who use a percolator for their coffee....can you recommend a good electric one to me? I have an antique enamelware percolator, but would also like an electric.
Also, can you boil water separately in a kettle and pour it over the grounds in the top of the percolator instead of boiling the water in the percolator?

A really good 12-cup electric perk is the Presto 2811.
The 4-cup Farberware is also popular and highly rated but makes only a tiny bit of coffee.....more like 2 cups max.
As for boiling water separately and then pouring into your percolator....two problems. Coffee will be weak. Also, it will not stay hot for as long.

I'm not sure about brand names...but my grandmother used to make her coffee this way (and I absolutely love it)
boil water (about 3-4 cups worth) and add the coffee grounds ...use a "sock" (you can buy them at cooking stores, or you can sub with a pair of clean (lol) panty hose-knee hi's...as a strainer...pour the coffee through and it will catch the grounds
Then warm an equal amount of milk on the stove- you will have THE best coffee you've ever had

I don't know, especially because I make mine in a percolator and it always turns out great. But you have a point; I'm t only person I know who uses one.

Doing the pour over....Yes.
But so it doesn't come out like weak tea, use 1 tablespoon of grounds for every 6 ounces of water.
