Making Percolator Coffee While Camping
Making coffee at the camp site is an art. I don't mean heating water and adding freeze dried or any other instant coffee. I'm talking about making coffee in a percolator the way it used to be made. There is nothing like the aroma of brewing coffee on a camp stove. This is the best way to brew coffee without electricity. Coffee for a percolator is a coarser grind than the automatic drip coffee more common today. Start by filling the pot with fresh water to the bottom of the spout. Fill the basket to just below the center post with coffee. Use about 4-6 tablespoons depending on the size of the percolator. Don't overfill. This is where percolator coffee gets tricky. Heat the pot till the water just starts to perk. We don't want it to get to a full boil so as not to ruin the taste. Turn the stove down as low as it will go, then turn it a little lower. I say this because you will probably need to turn it lower than you think. The idea is to keep the coffee perking once every 2-3 seconds. If perked too fast, the grounds will be in the bottom of the pot and the flavor will be boiled away. Perk for 15 minutes to start with. You can increase the time for stronger coffee. Keep in mind, the longer coffee perks the more over-used the grounds become. Enjoy!
