Percolating Coffee

[Zundfolge]

For all you coffee connoisseurs...any secrets you'd like to share about your techniques for percolating the perfect cuppa Joe?

As a coffee connoisseur ... scratch that. As a coffee snob I just have to add that peculating is probably the worst possible way to make coffee (because it basically recirculates water/coffee through the grounds multiple times).

Absolute best way to make your coffee is with a Chemex carafe or french press (after grinding your own beans with a burr grinder, not a blade grinder) And using filtered water at 195 to 205 deg F.

Yeah, agreed. But this is for those "outdoor moments". I have a 1 cup brewer that looks like that Chemex brand but I don't recall who makes it.

Ah, outdoor.

Well a plastic french press would be workable.

I've also been kinda curious about this thing.

I also can't see why someone couldn't make a Chemex style pot out of stainless steel (I understand that the Chemex is supposed to be chemically inert being pyrex style glass and all, but for roughing it I think stainless would work just fine). For that matter lexan should work too.
