No, he means the worst. It’s literally the worst way to brew coffee. I would take the cheapest Mr. Coffee from Walmart over the nicest stovetop percolator you can find.

For anyone who doesn’t understand why: you know that burnt taste coffee gets if you leave it on the warmer base of the coffee pot for too long? That’s basically what percolator coffee taste like, and for similar reasons.

Peet’s Major Dickason’s Dark Roast is very good.

Tried many different methods over the years and I will always use a Chemex.
Especially if you like iced coffee. The "Japanese Cold Brew" method of Chemex pour over with some ice the container. Strong and incredibly smooth coffee.

Never had that problem ever....

Secret is, when it starts to perc, you need to turn down the gas burner to low, and slow perk it...

Never had a burned taste ever.

Then the way you do it is the equivalent of only leaving it on the heating plate for a few minutes instead of longer. The issue with a perc is that there's nothing it brings to the table that a different method won't do better.

I am a very long time Community Dark Roast coffee drinker.


I like their French Roast.

I recently bought some Cafe Bustello. It is VERY underwhelming.

As for other brands, I prefer the Bob Marley coffee brand.

Here is their dark roast:

Stocking Mill Coffee Name and Mission. 23 August 1777, a sunny day in Glastonbury, Ct, along the north side of Roaring Brook. There sat the Stocking Mill Gunpowder factory. The mill was run by George Stocking Sr. and his four sons, George Jr., Hezekiah, Nathaniel and Elisha, and supplied gunpowder for George Washington's Continental Army. The factory produced a highly explosive powder used in small amounts to ignite a heavier powder in flintlock firearms. They made the gunpowder using a mixture of charcoal, potash and sulfur, Eunice Cobb Stocking, George Stocking Sr.'s wife, helped deliver it to the outskirts of Boston or New York City. Eunice was returning from Massachusetts through Bolton Notch when the ground shook and a large, black cloud rose in the distance. Eunice rushed to the mill. When she arrived, she found her husband, George Jr., Hezekiah, Nathaniel and two other workers dead from an explosion at the factory. Her remaining son, Elisha, had been on an errand and survived. She enlisted some financial help, built the factory up again and continued to supply gunpowder for the Army until the end of the war. This story inspired us so much we decided to name our coffee company after it. Our nation was fighting for it’s independence and gun powder is something our army desperately needed. She lost almost her entire family fighting for freedom. She delivered the gunpowder in what were known as “Angel Carts”. It was a dangerous job. She however took over the whole operation and rebuilt. She didn’t let sorrow, anger, or even fear defeat her. Our freedom is a product of her actions and many others like hers. For this we are thankful. Many companies now make stands for issues that are being dealt with today. They use their resources and voices to bring attention and help fix whatever issue they are taking on. We commend that. We have decided to do same. We already try to use our resources to help the veteran community and will continue to do so. But our focus will be on freedom. Freedom is the one word and one thing that makes any change possible. Freedom is what sets America apart and is what will keep America ahead. Work hard in your community to support freedom. It starts at home. Connect with others that support freedom. Stop spending money or resources on companies or areas that don’t promote freedom. Take care of your family. Raise your kids in the admonition of the Lord and with an appreciation for what we have here. Lead by example. Whatever you do, wherever you go, be kind yet serious, and when you get there....arrive violently. - The Bean Team

I keep a little french press at mt GF's house because she doesnt do coffee. FPresses make the worst cofee ever. (Either that or I do...)

I inherited a drip percolator and use it at the camp. Its OK...

But the best is Community breakfast blend in a regular MRCoffee...hell yeah.
