Hi, I have used a small 4-cup perk pot for years. While I like coffee, I can’t drink as much as I used to because even decafe coffee in excess makes my heart race. Before switching over to perked coffee I used to use the Mr Coffee & Braun brands of auto drip makers. I gave up on them after they had issues with not closing properly and flooding my counter tops.
Anyway I find the percolator coffee pots make superb coffee. It can be a little difficult when pouring from a large pot, especially when its totally full. With that said, you don’t have to fill them with water to capacity. . Even with my small pot there are times when I pour that first cup it can dribble on the counter. I always place two paper towels under the pot. The toweling helps with both spills, as well as any coffee grounds that might get on the counter as I am filling the basket. They are very easy to use, just fill the pot with the amount of water you want, line the basket with a filter, add the grounds, place on the basket cover, place on a lid, plug in the pot and wait for it to brew and stop bubbling. The thing you’ll have to learn is how much water and how many scoops of coffee you like for the taste you like best, but that won’t take too long to get the ratio.

Since it involves precise pouring over grounds and since I don’t feel like burning my fingers with spilt hot water, I was wondering if anyone’s currently making their coffee this way and if they recommend any particular device that may be more accessible over another? It seems like the V60 is more dependent on the precision and flow of the stream. Don’t know if the Chemex or Kalita or Melitta may be more forgiving in this regard. I’ve also heard of the Stagg pour over brewing set. Anyway, any input would be appreciated.
