I have an old electric percolator in our camper that was my mom's & I love it. My friends tease me & call it vintage, but it makes great coffee & I don't have to worry about it being broken while in transit. For dry camping I have a enamel stove top one & like that too. My mom has always used a percolator & does still. I wouldn't mind using one at home, but my husband likes the speed of a coffee maker.
