Cavalcade of Food: Vintage Percolators

Appetizer: For us folks of a certain age, this happy little tune has always been stuck in our heads:

 

Main course:  Kevin shows off his huge collection of coffee pots in his private museum up in Michigan.  He also demonstrates how to use them.


I think I or someone in my extended family owned all or most of those at some point across the decades.  What a trip to see them all together.  There's actually nothing wrong with percolators except that the Mr. Coffee machine is slightly less messy to empty and refill.  And you see can at a glance how much coffee is left in the pot.

But I miss the perka-perka sound!
