My mother still has the percolator she got as a wedding present in 1963. It's pretty banged up due to numerous moves, but it still makes a decent pot of coffee. Older appliances last forever!
I have the same one she’s using and I’ve been using it every Sunday for 13 years. I got it from eBay. The only issue I’ve had is a short in the cord, but my husband was able to fix it.
You can't beat percolated coffee 😋 its the best!!! Keep your Starbucks all you want I'd pay to have an old school cupajoe (and my name is joe).😅I'd even bring some Krispy Kreme donuts too when the hot light is on....love your 59s motif kitchen.
May your Grandmother’s memory be a blessing.
Awwwwwee
Yes
Let it be a blessing ♥️
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother
Hi, I collect percolators, and a hint for you. Before adding the coffee grinds, wet the basket, it will keep grounds from falling through the basket, or you can find percolator paper filters that cover the bottom of the basket.
My grandma had one of those, she was a 1950's mom. She was beautiful, like a movie star. She always had her hair done at the "beauty parlor" by her beauty operator and her make up on. I love the 50's, I so wish I could have experienced that era.
Hearing you describe your grandma reminds me of my Grammy, another 50’s mom. Always wore dresses, jewelry, hair done and baked the best bread🍞. She taught me patch quilting and Seamstress work, much simpler times. I so love the 50’s! I think that’s what is so magical about bringing vintage back today. We need more of this in the world🤩🤩
The sound of a percolator is the best sound ever....along with the aroma.
We always said it was snoring
It's very satisfying.
I'm so sorry for your loss!
Thank you!!
@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor we can learn so so much, from the older generation ❤️ My own Grandma showed me how to cast on stitches to double pointed needles, for knitting socks.
@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor I just noticed that your nanna passed away 😢 As long as she's remembered, she'll never truly be gone. You have my prayers🙏🙏🙏
I love advertising back in the day. They actually put effort into explaining and promoting the product unlike today. All you get today is, this will make you better than your neighbor or you'll be as fancy as this celebrity if you buy this.
You can put loose leaf tea in the percolator! They also brew good teas.
Oooo I’m going to have to experiment with that!
@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor Be sure to clean out pot and ground basket very well or you'll get something that tastes of both coffee & tea (not good).
@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor you’ll have to experiment with us! I like watching you try out your new gadgets.
That is good to know!
@LacyFay Please try it with tea!!! You are the funnest to watch!! So sorry about Grandma Dorothy's passing.
May your Grandmothers's memory be a blessing to you ....
I use a GE Electric Pot Belly Perculator that was a wedding gift to my parents in 1955, It still makes a great pot of coffee.
Laci we all love you. Your sweet grandma is right there with you. Only difference now is she isn’t battling that illness so no sad tears bc she would be smiling at you saying laci I’m fine I’m right here with you.
I grew up with using a percolator. Both on the stove and electric. It has a much better flavor. It allows the coffee to steep instead of just pass over one time.
I have a Farberware electric percolator. My husband prefers it!
As a little kid, my grandma gave me the job to going to the back of the store and getting the coffee beans ground. To this day, the smell of coffee grounds is heaven to me!
Coffee in a percolator is the best!
It was pretty good!
@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor yummy I remember seeing something similar in father knows best sorry for your loss I have loss my mom,grandparents from my dad's side and my grandmother on my mom's side my grandfather is still live he is in his 90s my uncle died too😥
Percolated coffee is the best after Armenian coffee made in a jazveh. Use a little less coffee. Put the water then the stem and then the basket, coffee and lid. Be really careful of the glass knob.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May your Grandma's memory be for a blessing!
Your channel is such a sweet testament to your grandmother's influence on your life. You will keep her memory alive. Much love to you❤
Your apron goes well with the dress, you all ways look very nice. Sorry for your loss.
Thanks so much. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss, wishing you peace and healing.
Mom use to do percolator coffee when I was a little girl (and way before my time). I would stand in front of it watching the coffee percolate in the glass knob.
Get the pink percolator! Yes yes yes!!! 🌸
The smell of coffee is great.
We’ve used a west bend percolator for years.... the coffee is hot... brews beautifully....and it makes the house smell delicious 🌺
I was terrified of percolators until I got the job of prepping them at church. I eventually got to the point where I could fill two of the giant ones in less than five minutes... ETA Coffee is life
I am so sorry for your loss🙏may the grace of God surround you and your family. I am very close to my granddaughters so I can feel some of your pain, As I was so close to my grandparents growing up. I am now 70-years old and I still remember them fondly with love. I love my percolator makes the best coffee!
Hello Laci,
I’m so happy to see your smiling face this morning! You are amazing! ♥️🙂 I love all your videos on vintage gadgets! Thank you for sharing this. My condolences to you and your family. I have lost my father as well on November 4, 2020 from Congestive Heart failure and kidney failure. You really made my day. Thank you again for your kindness and sweetness.

So sorry about Grandma Dorothy! How about a tribute episode with items from her life?
God bless you and your family during this time. I lost three of my grandparents to Alzheimer's-Dementia. It's a disease that I wish didn't exist. Your heart will heal. Give yourself grace as you move through on the journey. Peace.
Lacy, I'm sorry about the passing of your grandma, the emotion in the flickering of your voice signals a strong bond between you and her - and I'm sure she is honored, wherever she is now. So much love to you, happy to have you back. ❤️
Oh so sorry for your loss. Your Grandma must have been a lovely lady. Bless you 💔
So sorry for the loss of your grandmother. I’m a coffee drinker...nothing like the smell of percolator coffee!
I have a 1940's Mirro‐Matic percolator like the one on I Love Lucy and I use it every weekend and the coffee taste much better than that from the keurig or a regular coffee pot!
Do use a coarser grind of coffee in your percolator or just the regular drip grind which is all they sell at the grocery store these days. I used to buy the beans and grind them in the store on a coarser setting but the grinders have been removed, probably due to covid.
@@barbarakornacki8599 I use just regular drip grind. I don't find and grounds in my coffee.
@Ban this youtube Lol, I find the K-cups too strong
So sorry for your loss, I lost almost all my family before I was 31, I am 53 now, I saw so much growing up, & I still have my days if I do too much thinking. It will never be easy, just be strong, & remember them fondly, & try to lift yourself up, keep being an inspiration for others, you help take us away to "a better time & place" you are very much appreciated, & very beautiful, keep up the work as best as you can, and take care.
Laci I forgot to tell you.. if you can save a few of your grandma’s sweaters or a blanket so when your missing her you can put a sweater on and it’s like getting a warm hug! ♥️. I have most of my mothers and a few of my fathers sweaters and I just love wearing them!
You are an amazing woman and I could always see how much you loved your grandma and that you were very very close. I was the same with mine, and now I live in the house my beloved grandparents bought when the neighborhood was built. I am so proud and honored to be here. I have been going through more of their earthly possessions, still in the house, and it's so bittersweet. I sympathize with your grief, but also your joy in who she was, and the connection you had. I'm sure she still surrounds you with love and is so proud of everything you do to keep this era alive. Wishing you healing and all the best memories for comfort. ❤️
I remember my parents having an electric percolator and the coffee tasted so good. I also remember them using a product called Dip It that you used to clean it out
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. I recently lost 2 grandfathers in the past 2 years. What helps is remembering that they got to live long lives and had families with them.
There is nothing better than fresh percolated coffee! Sorry to hear about your Grandma...prayers for your healing
This brings back memories!! My one set of grandparents were coffee drinkers. I love the smell of coffee, but don’t like to drink it. I do like coffee flavored things like truffles, lol. Condolences on your sweet grandmother. One of my grandma’s was named Dorothy too. She’s been gone 18 years and I still miss her dearly.
Grandmas are the most precious gifts in life. I hope you can smile looking back at every moment she shared with you and everything she taught you. May her memory live on. 🥰
May she rest in peace. She will live on thru you and your content. 😇
My mom has a few of these. I recognized it instantly. She’s not old she’s in her 50s but she uses them very often. She had no idea they were that old. She got them at a yard sale new in box ages ago. I showed her the vid and the box was the same. Very cool. I been drinking coffee from these for the past 18 years lol
Oh, Laci!! My deepest condolences. I didn’t know your Grandma had passed. I’m sending so much love your way.❤️
I remember my mum had a glass percolator when we were kids. Mum would buy round filters to put in the basket to prevent grounds and such from the coffee.
I'm so so sorry to hear about Grandma. Lots of love to you and your family.
This what I grew up with in My family.👍🏿 you have My sincerest condolences for the loss of your grandmother.✝️🛐☮️💜
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.
I remember my grandmother using that type of coffee pot back in the late 60's and early 70's.
I'm old so I grew up with stove top and electric percolator coffee pots, so it gave me a chuckle to see how you were figuring out how to use it. I still have an electric percolator pot I keep as an emergency back-up in case my coffee maker breaks. I'm sorry for the loss of your grandmother. It's been many years since mine passed away and I still miss her. I keep her in my heart and thoughts always though.
Dearest Laci,
My condolences to you & your beautiful family!
Losing a loved one is always so sad & painfully hard but you will always have such lovely memories of your grandmother.
Sending you love & hugs,
Belinda from Australia 🌹🌻🙏❤❤
My Grammie had one of these. I loved the sound it made. Meant we were at Grammies! My gram passed away 2 years ago on January 3.Like your grammie, mine played a huge role in my life and that of my families. She was a beautiful, strong lady and i miss her dearly. But, I know that she is now with my both of my grampies, she called them her boys. They were best friends, both my grampies, and my grammie was blessed to have them both by her side in this life (at different times mind you). Right now Laci, your loss is raw. With time, your happy memories will cloud any sadness these past months have held for you. God bless you and your family.
Awwww I’m so sorry about grandma Dorothy 😢 I loved that name. You’re so sweet to keep up the fundraisers in her honor ❤️ Now, this percolator, you are soooo brave! I’m so scared of old cords and plugs. But she’s such a pretty coffee pot and I’d love to make some vintage coffee 😊
3 of my great-grandparents passed from that... I was raised by my grandmothers, and my great-grandparents... having been through that... I know your pain... its been 3 years since I lost my last great-grandpa to Dementia... I still cry. All the hugs and support. :)
I have 2 of these from Grandma and Mom.I also have Mom's percolator.I am 77 next week so I have a home full of a antiques from Grandma and Mom and myself. I am sorry for your loss.I lost my Grandma and Mom and Grandpa and Dad and now husband.
Again I want to express my love and prayers for your loss of your precious Grandmother! ♥️♥️
They sell special coffee filters for percolators. Most regular grocery store coffee is to finely ground for them.
Precisely! They look like a small round paper disk with a hole through the middle for the post to go through vs. a paper basket for drip coffeemakers. I was surprised to see her make a pot without a filter. She only drank 1/2 cup off the top & then poured another 1/2 cup hours later. If she had drunk to the last cup I'm afraid she would have found quite a bit of sediment in her cup. Also for that cup she did note that it was still hot, but after the coffee (sediments & oils) being directly on that heating element all day that coffee would have tasted scorched.
Percolators, just due to the brewing method, naturally make stronger coffee than drip makers and are preferred by most skilled chefs and coffee connoisseurs.
@@tarbhnathrac I disagree. You don't need filters in percolators, and the environment doesn't need them in the landfill. I can promise you we didn't have percolator filters in the 50s. Coffee grinders are not very expensive and starting with while bean coffee and grinding it can give you the grind you need.
@@claree1241 it's been 30 yrs since I've done coffee in the percolator & I don't remember how the grind should be compared to the drip. Would you mind telling me how the grind should be? Thank you. Oh & I never used filters in my percolator.
@@karenmessinger9609
It should be medium coarse
@@Lucinda_Jackson Thank you!!
I have a few percolators because I LOVE coffee 😍 hehe so I had to watch this asap I really enjoy watching you test out vintage gadgets. And I'm so glad you felt the love & support of your fellow vintage friends during this difficult time. Your grandma was a special lady and her time on earth was spent with people who loved her immensely. Can't wait for all that you have in store for this channel, Laci!!
I’m very sorry for your loss. Your Grandma will forever be in your heart.
May you always remember the wonderful times you have spent with your grandmother.
Love this !!! I used to have a Proctor Silex glass light up percolator that I found at the thrift store. It lasted several years before it gave up and I want another !
How lucky were you to find such a treasure !!! Love your videos !! You brighten my day !! Percolated coffee is the best !!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So sorry to hear about your grandmother. My prayers go out to you and your family. My mother had one of these coffee pots. I remember watching it while it was brewing when I was young.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I’m sending you a hug and love ❤️. I lost my Mom in October. Dementia and Alzheimer’s is so hard. God bless your Grandma and Family. Thank you for the video. It was great.
I’m sorry about your grandma. I just lost my dad and it’s been devastating especially right before Christmas with me having a four year old daughter. Your videos have been a comfort for me. My parents were kids/teens in the 50s so it reminds me of some of their stories.
RIP Dorothy,remember that she will always be in your heart and never forget the good times you’ve had with her.may she rest in peace 🕊losing grandmas suck I lost mine at the end of may so I feel your pain , hope your doing well,I’m terribly sorry about your loss 😢❤️
I love you so much Laci, you deserved all the love we gave you... You are adorable and I love what you do !
Your grandma is now in heaven with my great grandma♥️ two lovely women with such stories to tell, I'm sure.
I don’t remember us having a percolator like that but we did have a corning ware percolator and it was wonderful
I had an uncle that had one of those glass vacuum pots. I may have to try one!
Still use ours...
So sorry for your loss. I just loss my mother to Alzheimers on New Year's Day. My heart goes out to you❤
My deepest condolences to you and Laci
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. Sending love your way.
My sympathy to your loss! My mother who if she lived would be 90 used a percolator back in the 1960's to early 1970's until the Mr. Coffee came out.
There is nothing better than walking into a home where fresh coffee is perking! Best smell ever!!
I love coffee. My grandparents still use that exact coffee pot.😊
Percolator coffee is my favorite kind of coffee. It needs a coarser grind than the regular drip coffee so you'll find more of the grounds fall through the hole of the coffee basket into the water while percolating. It's great it is still working after all these years becsuse if you buy one made now it might stop working in a couple months. Believe my Grandma had one like that, the cord definitely looks familiar. 🙂
This lady is so sweet. We need to preserve her
Awww Laci.. You're back! Again my condolences about your beloved grandmother❤️
I love your hair so much!❤️ sorry for your loss.
Thanks so much!
Hi, sweet girl. Thank you for posting this, as it reminds me of my mom. She had a percolator like this, and used it for years. She passed away just a few years ago, so I understand your feelings of loss. Hugs.🤗
I'm so very sorry to hear about your grandmother's loss We will be sending lots of hugs love and prayers your way
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear grandma. I had tears for you, Laci. Praying you find comfort from God and from the wonderful and precious memories you have of your grandma. This video was charming. I am so glad you found delight in that elegant coffee percolator. It’s beautiful! Sending many blessings, thoughts and prayers. You are so sweet. 😊
Welcome back love that dress looks so fresh my mom had one of those and our house always smelled like coffee what a memory also I love your makeup have a good day 😊
I love coffee with my creamer, LOL
Haha right?!
Always add milk as well, more balanced.
My condolences to you and your sweet family. OOO a sweet gadget. You make the cutest curious faces.
I was born in 1956 so I don't remember much of the 50s, but I do well remember the 60s and into the 70s that my mom used a non-electric version of this on her stove. Back then she bought
8 O'clock coffee that you ground in the store. The grinder had several settings from fine to course, so you could control how strong it brewed. I'm a big coffee drinker, and to this day, I still like the taste of coffee the perculated way versus our modern coffee makers. I may have to buy one of these! God Bless you and your family in this sad time. We're all glad you're back.
You really made me laugh after you finished assembling the coffeepot together, plugging it in, and then expected to see something instantaneously 😅. The youngsters nowadays expect instant results on everything. Lol! Growing up before Mr. Coffee machines, my family always had Sunbeam or GE percolators. After the water heated and started to "burp" up, the sound was soothing and the smell of fresh brewed coffee was wonderful! Like the vintage coffee commercial "Maxwell House! Good to the last drop! 😃
I'm so sorry about your grandma. I lost my mother 18 months ago and my stepfather who I nursed my mother with over the last year, has taken a new girlfriend and has told me he can't stay in touch with me or my brother. Weird. He cared for my mother though so I need to remember that. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and I know what you went through. I have the same picture of holding my mother's hand as she passed. It was sad but I know she's out of pain. Hugs to you and glad to see you back! You are quickly approaching 100k!!! ❤️ I drink coffee with flavors and creamer! I love the smell of coffee but can't drink it black! I loved the smell of my grandmother's coffee pot! Now I use a keurig.
Oh I’m so sorry for your losses. Sending love your way. Thank you!
As a home health aid in NYC I have come across many of your gadgets taking care of older clients.
All of them that did have percolator were in working condition.
My deepest condolences, I’m sure your Grandma will always be close to you in heart and spirit! I’m a coffee percolator collector but I have yet to add that model to my collection, it’s a beautiful pot and the box is beautifully vintage. Here is what I’ve learned in my ‘percolator journey’ as I like to call it, always use ground coffee that is specifically ground for a percolator, the grounds must be coarser than regular drip coffee like the ones you used. Next, always pre-wet your brew basket and place on your stem (little tube/pipe) and cover the small opening on top before starting to add grounds. I usually place my stem and brew basket inside the pot before starting to add grounds as that simplifies it and keeps it in place. When you have the right grind, amount, and coffee of choice, your cup will be amazing and you will enjoy percolated coffee very much. Now it is quite normal to have coffee grind sediment at the bottom of your pot and cup but that’s all part of the experience. Here is another tip though to minimize sediment if you want a cleaner cup, fold a flat bottom coffee filter into a cone shape and snip a small piece of the pointy end with your scissors, then unfold and it should fit your brew basket nicely as the hole will enable your stem to go through it. I hope my comment isn’t so long and annoying to read but I was excited to see your video and your beautiful kitchen! Thank you for sharing ☺️
I'm sorry about the loss of your grandmother. Really cool coffee maker...I remember my mother/grandmother making coffee in one just like this. Great job!
Welcome back! We missed you. Hope you're coping okay and so excited to see more vintage things! Yay!
Good to see you back hun we missed your beautiful spirit know ur Grandma is an Angel with you every day HUGS ❤️❤️❤️
It's great seeing your wonderful smile again. Your grandmother's warmth and love will always be with you!💗💗💗
I'm don't really know how to help people that lost someone so I'm just going to say... I love your videos
Thank you!
That is a fine response. Just being friendly is a positive way to show you care.
I'm really sorry for your loss. Take as much time as you need and take care of yourself
I am sorry for your loss, prayers for you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your grief with us Lacy....we all care and your smile is infectious!!🥰🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom to Alzehimers a few years ago. I pray for you to find peace.
Percolators are fun, i have one that I have to heat up on the stove. It takes me forever to make my coffee but i like using it because it's old!
So Sorry to hear about your Beautiful Grandmother 🦋🌷 🙏 My Sweet Grandmother passed of Dementua 2 yr ago 😢 Love Smell of Coffee ☕ i have a Vintage Olive green Perculator it's great! Thanks Laci 💗🌻🏠⛅
Yes! An electric percolator!! My toaster has that same cloth cord! Even if you don't make coffee on a regular basis, you can use it as a hot pot just for water. The long straw-like piece that holds the basket is called the "stem". Always put your finger on the glass top when you pour.Sometimes they fall out and break . You can't find replacement glass tops in the dime store like you could back in the 50's and 60's! The nice thing about an electric percolator vs. a stove top percolator is that they stop boiling when the coffee is brewed. The stop top ones often boil over if you don't keep an eye on them! Have fun!!
Hello, I’m so happy you’re back with us. I love your videos and all your beautiful things. I remember my mom using a percolator. Thank you for the memories today. You and your family are still in my thoughts and prayers. Again welcome back and can’t wait to see more. Good luck and much love ❤️.
isnt Laci wonderful! I just love all the vintage and retro stuff! How about old style diners, i love them!
@@Qmountainkid yes it shows how my mom and grandma lived before I was born. I just love all her videos and all the hard work they put into them.
I love that your cat’s name is Johnny Cash. My favorite country music artist. Cool gadget by the way.
So sorry for your loss Laci. Sending you and your family my love, thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼❤
My deepest condolences to you all. May God rest her soul 🌹
I use to watch my Mother brew coffee and I love 💘 to watch the coffee percolate
