Coffee Percolator

one that percolates. specifically : a coffeepot in which boiling water rising through a tube is repeatedly deflected downward through a perforated basket containing ground coffee beans to extract their essence.Because percolator coffee is brewed at such a high temperature, the flavors are enhanced and the coffee can stay warmer for extended periods. Drip coffee will not keep hot or fresh for as long since it is first brewed at a cooler temperature.
