Hey i know we got some coffee afficionados here and hoping you guys can suggest a good percolator. I've never used one myself but my grandmpa only likes his coffee brewed by percolator but lost the top to the one he uses. All i can find is the electric kind which wont work so where can i find a good stovetop percolator.
I use Cabelas...

I got mine at Bed Bath & Beyond (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=11802087)(they also sell them at Target for $19.99) for $24.99. I like this style because it has the glass top, I like watching the coffee perk!

You can make up to 8 cups of coffee.

I did see those at target but wondered how durable it would be for daily use. The Cabelas looks sturdy but might be a bit big. Thanks for the suggestions. have to see what my grandpa would prefer.

works great.
Love my six-cup... the smaller the better for espresso, no? I feel like it is easy to stay consistent.

Can't go wrong with vintage Pyrex. My wife uses one everyday for her coffee. You can find them on Ebay, at antique/thrift stores and sometimes garage sales. We have them in 4/6/9 cup sizes and they work great.
