In this episode, I dive deep into the often-overlooked world of percolator coffee brewing. I share my recent experience with a $12 Amazon Prime Day purchase of a 9-cup percolator and discuss why the specialty coffee community should give this classic brewing method more attention. I explain how I've been experimenting with 15:1 ratios and achieving impressive results, particularly with a challenging Peruvian medium roast. During the episode, I break down the technical aspects of percolator brewing, from grind size to brewing time, while challenging the coffee community's tendency to overlook certain brewing methods in favor of trendier options.

Listeners will learn about the practical aspects of percolator brewing, including optimal brewing times, grind size considerations, and how to achieve the perfect extraction. I also share my plans for future experiments with different roast levels and brewing parameters, making this episode valuable for both coffee enthusiasts and those looking to expand their brewing horizons.
