A Coffee Percolator brews
a Cup of Coffee in one Minute

A coffee percolator is a type of coffee maker that was once very popular, but has now been replaced by the drip brew coffee machine and the French press. There are two types of percolators available:
1. Pressure is used to force hot water through the coffee grounds into a separate chamber.
2. Boiling water is continually pushed through the coffee grounds until the desired coffee strength is reached.
