About a year ago I decided that I really didn't care for drip coffee and LOVED the coffee from my younger days. I still had my corningware pot however it was way too big (10 cups) for me. I did make a few pots to see if I still liked it better then dripped before I started on my quest for a percolator. I found a new in box 6 cup vintage clear glass pryex percolator on e-bay. It was the best thing I ever bought. I make a pot of coffee have 2 mugs and put the rest in a thermos so it is hot for later in the day.
My grandpa was from Poland and everyone once in awhile I make coffee the way he did. It tastes great but it is more as a reminder to me of having coffee and toast with grandpa.
This is what he would do. He put a few cups of water in a sauce pan along with a few spoonfuls of coffee, some sugar and milk. He would let it come to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes. Let it sit for a minute or 2 so that the ground went to the bottom of the pot and then pour into a cup with a saucer, no mugs with grandpa. Now that was the best coffee in the world. Grandpa also put lemon juice in tuna that was yummo too.

Somehow - This does NOT surprise me. Oh, and used to soak wounds in kerosene we'd go straight to ER over too, right? I think I know these 'ol timers!

Can I tell you folks about one other coffee item? When I JUST want a single mug I use one of the contraptions used for Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It's a mini-sized perk "insides" which sets on the top of the mug. It just works so well, and does a nice job too...so passing this info along too. Got mine years ago at the Vietnamese Grocery in my area. It takes a single spoonfull of coffee, and partially fasten the top sieve over the coffee. Then pour thru the hot water til filled. Keep filling as empties...so exactly amount needed for your particular mug. So tiny, but very effective.
