Mom always used those tin pots with the little spout and separate lid. I remember because when she'd get mad, she'd throw it at dad and hit the wall with it. Bad aim.
I personally would LOVE to have a cup of coffee made by those old percolators. They seemed to do such a good job, but one helluva mess to clean the basket.
Joy, Ebay is your friend...these old pots and percolators still await us. Funny, I remember writing an answer to your post last evening on my laptop and now its gone...
I remember the pot pictured, as well. Percolators made better coffee, though. We've got one stored with our camp stove, for when the lights have gone out.
Well, it says 1945 on the picture... I remember seeing those glass pots in the mid-50s when I was a little kid.
ReplyDeleteMy eyesight is awful. Thanks for the date.

ReplyDeleteI still use a percolator at home. Like you, I have a couple on standby for emergency use. They make fine coffee. Thanks, my friend.
DeleteThat stuff in the pot sure looks like it's been cooking a while!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I smell it. Thanks my friend.
