The Percolator

It came out of the box all shiny and new washed it in soapy water so I could brew Hot pipping coffee so robust and full the old fashion steel pot ever cool The water simmers and boils hot watching it explode up into the glass top The liquid is clear than splashes to amber the smell of hot coffee a favorite remembered When the coffee shows rich and dark fresh brew coffee for the day starts Rich in flavor smells so good drink cup after cup like I knew I would No fancy machine of plastic anymore my stovetop percolator my coffee I pour Made mostly of steel with a button of glass this percolator was made to last
