My total perception of coffee changed with a French press. Not snob level, but I like coffee more because of it
Always works and tastes better

I’ve never had French press coffee that wasn’t too weak :/
To each their own, but mine sits unused

There’s a lot of variables for coffee. Are you using quality beans, or folgers? What kind of roast? Is the water the right temperature and the right ratio? Are the beans fully coarsely ground? Have you tried blooming the grounds first?

French presses are fine and all, but I think OP linked a percolator.

My dad’s got that exact style that he uses when camping. I didn’t drink coffee, but he says it’s great.

It doesn’t make the best quality, but it’s great to have a kettle around that can brew coffee.

Its bad coffee but when youre camping its god tier. There’s something about percolator coffee when out in the woods that hits just right.

The Technology Connections guy went on like a 40 minute video about coffee percolators, and how they were largely replaced by Mr. Coffee type drip brew machines.

Is this Bialetti’s redneck cousin or what?

For those uninitiated, that’s a coffee perculator.

And it usually makes gritty, overbrewed coffee.

It over extracts and is the perfect way to bastardize coffee. Just terrible and should probably be looked on as self harm.
Seriously, if you’re down to a percolator just put a pinch of grounds in your lip like a dip and roll.
