3 Mistakes to Avoid When Brewing with a Coffee Percolator

1. Avoid Grinding Your Coffee Beans TOO Fine
Finely ground beans extract the coffee much quicker than a coarse ground. Meaning you’re more likely to end up with a bitter cup. A coarse ground is much more forgiving, and will give you the opportunity to control the flavor much easier.
2. Avoid OVER Boiling the Water
If the water in your coffee percolator is boiling too hard, there is a chance the water will splash your grounds out the top of the basket and into the base with your coffee. Observing the coffee through the glass top will give you the best idea of how strong the water is boiling.
3. Avoid Brewing for TOO Long
The brewing process extracts the coffee from the beans. As more coffee enters the water, the end result will be a coffee that is increasingly stronger, bolder, and bitter. We suggest a brewing time that’s between 3 – 5 minutes, or to taste.
