Over the years, coffee percolator was modified and perfected by many coffee machine manufacturers. The very first drip coffee maker was called the “Mr. Coffee” and it was introduced in year 1972.

This coffee machine was designed by Vince Marotta. From then on, Mr. Coffee became the most popular drip coffee machine in the US.

It was not that long enough that percolators were replaced by automatic drip coffee machines. The principle behind the machines was based on the principle of percolators. However, some of them were revised and perfected.

Percolators are made up of a metal pot, a lid, a filter basket, and a hollow metal tube that passes through the bottom of pot and extends up until it reaches the top. When the pot is filled with water, the filter must be packed with coffee grounds, and place the lid after. This pot works in a very simple manner.

When the water is being heated, the water is sucked up and passes through the tube and goes all the way through the filter basket. Then the water drips back down into the pot.

This process is being repeated until all the coffee grounds are brewed. The three versions of coffee percolators are: stovetop percolator, electric percolator, and microwave percolators. These three versions have some advantages and disadvantages to offer.

In addition, these three has also features that are different from each other.
