Stanley Hold Tight Percolator

[@EatCarbs]

Nice set up .. I'm not sure I've ever had Percolated coffee. Just pour over and the instant stuff. Thanks for the video brother

[@ChrisEbbrsen]

Your correct! You do as you see fit. I admire the Stanley perc. I just discovered imusa 6 demi. Cup stove top and it makes wonderful Bavarian licorice flat blacks. I do wish I had seen the Stanley first! So you got a decent percolator I think. Cheers! Enjoy in good health, thank you Sir!

I go 10 mins as that’s where my grandma would stop hers and it was always the best coffee I’ve ever drank.

nice one there

As for time, I go for about 7-8 min as well. The trick is, just like you do… once starts to perk, turn down the heat just a touch. Dont want a rolling boil. However, I have found, if you boil the coffee for at least 5 minutes, it seems to be less acidic. Just is a bit more messy with over flow of grounds. I’m still trying to get that happy medium and the best of both worlds.

You’re right, nothing better! 10 minutes as I like it strong but can use less coffee.

Hi, I’m in the UK and have never experienced a Percolated cup of coffee… I have an Italian Mocha pot and a small espresso machine although I can’t drink black coffee as I find it either too bitter or slightly sour… may I ask what grind size do you buy for Percolated coffee? is it a coarse grind or fine ..? Also does percolating the coffee take away the bitterness? Thanks and great video 👍🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

A coarser grind is usually better since a fine grind will easily fall through the holes in the basket. As for the bitterness, that is usually caused by using too hot of water. For me, I turn the heat down once it starts to perk to make sure there is not a rolling boil of super hot water going over the grounds. There is a trick to it, but I find it to be a great way to make coffee when camping. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Thanks for making this video! Thanks for the questions also. I percolate coffee daily I have found the keys are: good water, good coffee and LOW temp during the entire perc. I add a little more coffee, use a paper filter and perc for 5 min. If I am car camping like you are this trip, I take a snow peak percolator. Like you, I have several pots. I have the stanley. Don’t like it as much

It was disappointing to hear they have a plastic knob on top… Do you think it’s still worth purchasing it? It seems like the most companies, however, are going to plastic…

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

I would rather it had a glass top, but the plastic works fine and I believe it’s worth it if you are looking for a more compact percolator. I am trying to see if any of the glass tops from other percolators will work with it. I will post an update if I find a replacement that works. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@scetis]

@ thanks that would be great if you do find a substitute.

[@michaelpruitt6828]

10-12 minutes works for me.

[@FteCoUk4x4]

Normally about 10 minutes depend on what beans I am using. Out of interest I normally just put the grounds in the basket, does it make a difference using a paper filter?

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

I usually use off the shelf Folgers Brand Coffee so it is not a coarse grind. I find the filter helps with the finer coffee dust that usually ends up in the bottoms of the percolator. If I am grinding my own beans and can make a coarser grind, I don’t use the filter. Thanks for watching and the comment.
