Thrift Store Perc #20: Royal Rochester Percolator
Great find! 👌
Turn the heat way down so that it perks GENTLY!!!
Awesome find! I have one very similar to this.
Beautiful coffee maker.
I have a percolator just like this one. Good to know I'm not the only one who like to collect these. Thanks for sharing.
There's a FB group for vintage coffee makers!
@@ThriftStorePerk Yep, and Im a member, lol.
How do u clean the strainer that is in the base of the pot where the strainer post sits within the Electric base????
Very interesting video about Mr. Coffee which we used to have back in the 1970's when I was a little brat. It's just a shame that the narrator didn't mention the model number of the main Mr. Coffee percolator machine that was demonstrated, but it's cool. I like the looks of that classic 1 with the faux wood in front.
Looks like it is the CB-600
@ThriftStorePerk MC-1AC model is it. I just discovered an original early 1970's Mr. Coffee model just like it on e-bay. But, not to my surprise, it was recently sold. It still was in excellent condition for its half century age & still functioned according to its former owner & vendor. Pictured also with it was the original box it came in which identifies it as MC-1AC.
For those who don't like decent coffee, there are percolators.
How did it work out? I see they are roasted, but did they grind and taste good? I see these popcorn poppers at Goodwill all the time.
I'm putting together a longer video about it, and to be honest it works out great. Just make sure you get one with the vents on the sides and not the bottom. The chaff can get down in there and could be a fire hazard.
I would be beside myself! That's A treasure!
Very cool
Cute Cat! Does this light up?
Just found your channel and really injoy these old percolator liked how you are not wasting the first 10 min of my time telling me useless info!! Thankyou!! Both liked and you have a new sub
I have the one on the far right. Can you please tell me about it? It was my mother's.
@@patriot5433 I did a video about that one a while ago, the pattern is called “spice of life” I’ll see if I can find that video
great vid.thanks
Thanks for the video! My mom has one and I was trying to figure out how to work it.
The spring keeps pressure between the top of the filter basket, and the lid to the coffee pot. Much less chance of getting grounds in your brew...
I am delighted that you have new content. These are stressful times and I find your videos soothing. Thank you!
Thanks! I really appreciate that you took the time to tell that to me.
Is that Corning restaurant ware that you're drinking out of? I have a bowl with a red band that looks similar
Proctor Silex right? 😊
Yes indeed. I have another one by them, without the lights, and am super pleased to have one with the lights (this one is labeled "Lifelong" but I believe they are also marketed as "Mary Proctor").
Very nice! I also have a Silex that looks a little different than this one. I really want one of the glass rod filters. I currently use a reusable metal filter that I got from Amazon. Some "digiuo" brand or something like that. It does the trick but it makes a lot of noise when the steam goes past the silicone gasket when it really gets rolling.
I found one of these in the box a few weeks ago at Goodwill for 6 bucks. I just got the carafe in that I ordered NOS this afternoon. I've been using it as my daily Brewer for a little over a week with a little CorningWare teapot. The reason I like it is because it brews my coffee much hotter than my newer drip Brewers. I'm going to use it for a while and then put it back in my collection. My little modern six cup Mr coffee is perfect for me and doesn't produce as much waste because I live alone. On the weekends I get one of my vintage units out, usually one of my percolators or my Silex vacuum. This morning I used one of the first gen Corning electromatics.
What a great find!
I had been looking at these on eBay and the thrift store gods heard my plea.
What is it? I found a CorningWare p-80 today at the value village. Works great. Glad I had a cord for it too because they are hard to find.
This is a Vesuviana stovetop (with a bad gasket as you can see).
You had a Chemex set up first, why didn’t you use it? I just got one of these and I’m considering using a chemex with it.
@@MtnGirll No real reason, I love that they work with the Chemex, and honestly the chemex is probably my favorite way to brew coffee - even if I don’t do it that much.
@@ThriftStorePerk really like the idea of using this with the Chemex. From what you can tell with the Norelco units like this, does the boiled water come in contact with mostly plastic parts or stainless steel/aluminum? Thanks
Enjoyed the review and comparison. Thanks in particular for showing us the reservoir and heating element inside the original and explaining how it works. I had read the earliest Mr. Coffee's functioned somewhat differently from other automatic drips and always wanted to see that in action. Certainly a historically significant model, brand and spokesperson we can look back on appreciatively.
I watched a different half hour long video whee they guy took it all apart and discussed a number of different parts etc. But I cannot seem to find it. If I do I'll post it.
Do you know if they still make/sell the original disc type filters for the Norelco 12?
Our grocery store used to carry them, but I haven't seen them in a decade or more.
@@ThriftStorePerk Thank you.
Judging by the amount of coffee you put in yours I probably put in about 50% more than you did. I also fill the water up to just below the neck, about an inch below. (My manual says to fill it up just below the neck, I don't have cup lines or indicators on my pot). Then I turn off the burner and let it sit for about 3 minutes bubbling on the still hot burner.l. Once I take it off the burner, it siphons down in about a minute so I'm getting a total Brew time of about 4 minutes I would say. Comes out very nice. 😊 (I would say I put in about a tablespoon of coffee per cup).
I have that one in the 9 cup size.
nice vid...thanks
You dont need to see through it to know when its ready. After you make coffee for the first time, you will then know how long it takes for the water to settle down through the coffee and filter. Although it has a vintage/antique look to it, its not that great of a design. I would be concerned with the boiling hot water eventually leaking upon flipping the canister. Overall, it just seems to have more of that pleasant old fashioned appearance to it for presentation purposes. Can probably even make guests or customers think theyre getting a higher-end made coffee cause it comes out of a somewhat intricate-looking device
You are absolutely right that with practice you can get the timing down. I just don't think that I will be giving it the time it needs to get good at it. It's an inconvenient drip-olator and I'm not a fan of even the best of those. You are right, it does look cool though.
What kind of drip coffeemakers would you recommend that makes a classic cup of coffee with little bitterness. I haven’t liked pour over coffee. I have heard that a percolator makes stronger or bitter coffee. I have tried almost all of the Cuisinart coffeemakers and haven’t had much luck. They either leak or taste like plastic. I’m having a problem choosing something else because I didn’t want to spend a fortune but want good tasting coffee that is smith not bitter and strong. I have also already tried Keruig but not what I would like. Do you have any suggestions for all the problems I am having. Bunn is good, but lately they have had the plastic taste problems that never go away. I had that with Braun brewsense as well. Thank you for your video!!
Depending on how much coffee you want at at time, for the best tasting coffee (in my opinion) I would try either a chemex or an areopress. The heavy filter paper on the chemex removes all of the oils which gives it a crisp light taste. But of course a lot of the problem may also come from the coffee uses, the grind, the ratio etc. You may want to check out the videos by James Hoffmann where he is very scientific about measuring and grind size and brew temps, etc.
thanks for the coffee dance party :D
You need to back the heat off once it starts to perc. !
Thanks, I have been doing that with more recent ones but it's a good reminder.
Can you use this on the stove top without the heating element?
No, the stem on stove top models has a wide base, the stem on this has a smaller base to go into the heating element.
There's one of these at my local antique store for $50. It's a little more fancy looking than this, but also a silex. It's not in the box, but I'm pretty sure it is never or very barely used, because it has the instruction booklet with it as well as a small pack of cloth disc "trial filters" that came with it originally. It doesn't have the "phallic glass rod filter" either 😂. I bought several antique percolators, and I'm pretty sure that's my next purchase in a few weeks when I get paid if someone doesn't grab it first.
Does the Westbend have coffee ratios under the spout?
Yes, looks that way although I didn't try them out.
Great video

Ha, that looks like very strong tea. That (presumably) cold plate probably worked against you, rapidly cooling the lower chamber. I use a old Bodum vacuum pot on a gas stove with an induction plate inbetween. I like the plate because it retains some heat after turning off the gas, so the bottom chamber gets cooler slower and extends the time before it pulls the vacuum. (and with it the brew time) I also hope easing in and out of hot temperatures extends the lifetime of the thing, I know these vacuum pots were built for heat changes but they're also old and hard to replace so I try to shock the glass as little as possible. The Bodum came with a rack, perfect for letting it come up to drinking temp on it's own.
That's a good point about the cold plate, I should have just left it on the warm burner. I could have just done it again, but I think there's something to showing failures online as well. Everything doesn't always work out the way we want it to.
i grew up with one of those. it made great coffee.
Loved my new to my vintage farberware superfast electric percolator. Forgot to put water in my percolator this morning and cooked the thermostat ( heating element) . Any ideas on how to track down a new thermostat for a model 13b.
I believe with some of these there were extra fuses in the bottom, I haven't checked it out, but you could try unscrewing the base and seeing what in there if you haven't done that already. Good luck these are great little pots.
Man its a dream to find one of those
They made one that had lights in the base, that may be my current grail find.
You don't know how happy I am to watch this and see that the pot never boils! A lot of people that make these videos on percolators just boil that water like crazy and I think that room's the coffee. Thank you!
So yeah, in the other one where I finish the pot, it does get very very close to boiling which I felt really bad about (I hadn't used that particular hot plate with it before and messed up the timing).
neat looking pot
I had this percolator. I don't remember where I bought it but it lwas probably 25 years ago. It made good coffee. I have always been fascinated by glass percolator since I was a kid. I now perk in Pyrex flameware percolators and am still fascinated watching them do their magic. These types of coffee makers come from a time when making coffee was more than pushing a button. Nice collection in the background! Thanks for the video.
I found an identical one in a charity (thrift) shop today, in England, I was delighted. Like yours, it seems never to have been used. Making a brew now ☕ ❤
LESS GOOO!
