For people who are new to making their own cup of coffee in the mornings, it can be overwhelming to decide what machine is best for you. You likely don't want to splurge on something high-tech or perhaps you're a coffee veteran that prefers keeping things simple in your kitchen. No matter the case, a coffee percolator might be the right choice for you. Essentially, percolators use a system that continually cycles boiling and hot water through the grounds using gravity. This goes on until the desired strength of the coffee is reached so you get that rich and robust flavor you want. Percolators can be used over the stove, over a campfire, or come in plug-in electric versions.
