My wife is married to you too????
There are many ways to make an excelent cup of coffee. BUT, there is one thing that they all lack, the house filling aroma of coffee brewing.
Although my wife doesn't like the taste of coffee, she doesn't mind the smell of coffee. So she bought me an electric coffee percolator for a birthday present.
It percked the coffe for such a short time that there was no aroma comming out of the spout. It was almost exactly like drip coffee. Not bad in it's self. Just uninteresting. She then ordered a stovetop perculator.
Now I can enjoy the full aroma and flavor of the coffee on the weekends. People who drip or plunge will never know how good it is to fill the house with the aroma of hot coffee. It's exactly like bread. Bread in a wrapper from the store is fine. Fresh baked bread from the oven is GREAT!
I know that few will go so far as to buy one, but there are only two rules; NOT aluminum, and NOT electric even if you can adjust the time that it takes to perk.
