The stovetop percolator method of coffee brewing continuously cycles boiling water through an internal chamber holding coarse coffee grounds. As it repeats this percolating process, a vertical tube fills with freshly brewed coffee. Percolator coffee has a distinctly dark, muddy appearance with a robust, bitter bite lacking the nuanced flavors of manual pour-over. But it still holds nostalgia due to its ritualistic nature of watching the perk cycle build aromatic anticipation.
