I’ve had this several times (although I’ve only heard it called bubble tea, which I think is a more euphonious name), mostly in Canada. It apparently caught on in Japan a couple of years ago, hopped over to Vancouver...

in a pot with water. In HK, the percolated tea cooks for about an hour. I’ve had the versions with teabags...nowhere near as good. So for optimum results, please use quality loose tea (big pieces, not little leftover...

Michael Ruhlman recently enthused about the old-fashioned percolator. See the Feb 6 post on http://blog.ruhlman.com/ . I’m not agreeing or disagreeing, but it’s worth thinking about too.

French presses come in a variety of sizes. That’s what we use on a daily basis. I also have a Melitta percolator that appears now and then. I take it with me when I’m traveling because in this part of the world and on...

I recall Uncle’s as having very American breakfasts, real ham and egg breakfasts with slices of bone-in ham, hash browns, and percolated coffee from an industrial-sized percolator. I don’t recall Western food being...

I guess you could say I’m a coffee freak. I think I know and have used about every coffee brewing method known to man! The only two methods I don’t use are percolators and French press. My mother’s brewing...

, in which the coffee goes through a filter one time only, produced the best coffee, as rated by these average coffee drinkers (not the mavens). The general criticism that the magazine had of French press, percolators, and coffee...

We’ve been using a stove top percolator for many years. It produces consistently great coffee. I wouldn’t go back to a plug-in. I know that doesn’t answer your initial inquiry, rumgum. But it might be an...
