Well,this week I burned out yet another percolator.That makes three. I leave them on the stove and forget. I now buy the cheap ones,$30. I use the Italian style,in which the water is forced through the coffee under pressure,once. Even cheap coffee is OK,but good quality coffee is sublime. ("good quality" to me means about $20 a pound)
I have an electric ceramic top stove, so probably won't burn my house down.So far so good. I have an automatic dripolater,but hate it. Plungers are worse.
When I discovered Dunkin' Donuts and hot pastami on rye,I thought I had died and gone to heaven. The icing on that cake was those humungous cans of beer and that in the US you can buy beer from a DELI! (here not even the supermarkets sell alcohol)
However, I had the worst hot dog of my life in New York.

Personally I don't like the overly sweet shit that much. Give me good toast and eggs and coffee for breakfast, and fruit and coffee for "snack" when you'd be taking tea.
