First of all, the reason we bought this is because, in general, percolators make great tasting coffee.They can turn even the worst quality beans into a good cup of coffee.Initially, the Presto lived up to our expectations.And after doing the following, it is once again making great cups of coffee.Tip #1 - Grind your coffee using the appropriate setting.
After some usage, we would at times get a mouthful of grinds.We realized it was important to use the percolator setting on the coffee grinder at the supermarket.Since then, an occasional coffee grind finds its way into our cup.
Tip #2 - Clean the filter basket with a brush.
Despite cleaning the pot before each usage, the coffee was gradually getting weaker each day. We then realized that the holes in the bottom of the filter basket were clogged.We could not unclog them using a sponge so I started poking each one individually with a toothpick before deciding there was no way we would have the time or patience to do it every day.So, we tried a brush with plastic bristles and, within seconds, the basket was completely unclogged.So, we bought a small brush with a long handle and use it to clean the filter basket and the bottom of the pot.
