So awhile back, I was in the mountains with my family. We had a campfire and put some coffee on in our percolator. While sipping the "nectar of the gods", I commented to my cousin that it was way smoother than a standard "drip" style cup of coffee. We chalked it up to the fact that everything is better over a fire cooked in God's great outdoors! However, I went home and got to fixing coffee in my percolator on the stove. Sure, as I am sitting here, typing slow as a snail, it tasted smoother than a "drip" style cup of coffee to my non-expert taste buds. Was this just a figment of my imagination, or is there some scientific explanation somewhere? I won't change my favorite way of cooking coffee based on that information. Away with all these overpriced commercial drive through coffee shops and electrified coffee contraptions. Stovetop percolator, freshly coarse ground coffee for me any day! NOTE: I still occasionally indulge in all of the previous. On another note, I think it would be a genius idea to make a wood fired coffee shop. We have seen an influx of these wood fired pizza joints, why not! If a guy with some financial backing wants to open a wood fired coffee shop and have different levels of coffee sitting on a grate in multiple percolators, go right ahead! My idea on a logo would be a wood fire with a percolator sitting in it, like the picture posted below. The name should be "The Percolator". You probably think I am crazy by now, but I just wanted to share the ideas swimming around in the dark abyss of my pea sized brain. I tried this coffee that Big Fin recommends, and it has been a winner so far. I am wanting to try some more flavors they offer. I will include some photos to exhibit the ideas I have portrayed. Hit me with all the pros and cons. I don't have any means to pursue this idea, I just thought it was a neat one! P.S. Use oak wood for the fuel source. Also, include all those fancy syrups and whipped cream condiment thingies to attract a more diverse crowd.
