Is Espresso Really 'Good' Coffee?
bicostp:
I just make Chase & Sanborn in a stovetop percolator with a bit of salt added and a paper towel as a filter. vv

They still make those?
Boomslang:
I'm pretty sure they mostly make percolators like that for camping nowadays, but you might get one that's usable on a stove top.
I know for sure there are a number drifting around thrift stores and yard sales in my area, might check those out. I've never been able to use one without having enough grounds escape the filter to basically be drinking it turkish style without the spices.
BTW, if you haven't had turkish coffee, it's very good.

Yup.

That's where the paper towel comes in. Fold the ends over to completely enclose the grounds and use a decent brand and you shouldn't get much of anything floating in the coffee.
Carl-E:
Looks like they still make the glass ones, too!
And they were designed for a much coarser grind than you get today, that's why you didn't need a filter... I remember the grinder at the A&P when I was a kid, with the different coarseness settings - from "perk" (coarse) through "drip" (fine) to "espresso" (extra fine).
Of course, my grampa used to talk about "boathouse coffee" where the grounds were boiled in the bottom of the pot... :-P
