Pros and Cons of Coffee Percolator


 

Coffee percolators are equipments used to brew coffee. These are the oldest coffee brewing units since olden times and remain popular to this day. A percolator is very easy to use and the taste of the coffee made remains consistent. As there are some good things about coffee percolators there are some drawbacks too which can be taken care of through practice.

Coffee brewed in a percolator is susceptible to over-extraction. In addition, percolation may remove some of the volatile compounds in the beans. This results in a pleasant aroma during brewing, but a less flavorful cup. This usually happens in vintage and stove top coffee percolators.

Electric percolators make consistent brew as they automatically stop percolation to go in warm-mode once brewed. Percolator enthusiasts remain devoted to its hotter, more 'robust' coffee, and maintain that the shortcomings of this brewing method can be eliminated by careful control of the brewing process.

Pros of Coffee Percolators

  • Favorite traditional brewing method.
  • Easy to brew. 
  • Convenient to serve.
  • Durable construction.
  • Robust coffee flavor.

Cons of Coffee Percolators

  • Coffee percolators flout natural laws of brewing coffee by repeated processing.
  • They over extract oils and flavor of coffee grounds by reheating the brew with the grounds over and over again.
  • Coffee made with percolators tends to be stronger and often bitter tasting than coffee made with other brewing methods.

Whatever be the pros and cons but they will and always remain the favorite of some who have got habituated to the taste and aroma of coffee from percolators.
