Every time you use it, rinse out the inside and the basket until the water runs out clear. Then fill it with water until the bottom 1/4 inch of the basket is immersed. Run it. Whenever it gets a stale taste anyway, get some baking soda (it'll be a lot).
Put about 1/4 inch or a bit less into the basket, fill the pot to right below the max fill line, and run it. Repeat until the water runs out nearly clear (it'll be quite a few times, so you'll need more than one box of soda). Then, to get rid of the baking-soda taste, fill it to above the bottom of the basket with water. Add 1/3 to 1/4 capful of vinegar. Stir it with your finger into the water, put it in the basket, and run it. This will react away the last of the baking soda residue-- don't worry about any white powder that remains. Finally, run it with empty water. It will be nice and fresh. This is quite harmless and can be repeated any time your percolator tastes stale.
You can, but the coffee will be quite weak, the first 'perk' gets the best flavour and strength from the coffee.
that would be Central Perk.in the later episodes it was owned by Gunther,
To clean a clogged poly perk brewing basket, first, remove it from the coffee maker and discard any coffee grounds. Rinse the basket under warm water to remove loose debris, then soak it in a mixture of warm water and a few drops of dish soap for about 15-30 minutes. Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub any remaining residue, particularly around the mesh or perforations, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow it to air dry completely before reusing.
No. There is no "real" Central Perk. The Central Perk coffee shop from the TV series Friends was a set, built by set designers for NBC studios.There are some coffee shops that are replicas of the Central Perk set, built in homage to the show, but none of them are in New York City.

Many adults drink coffee as an early morning perk. One perk I got from my dog-walking job was I lost 20 pounds. The job interviewer could not state one perk I would get from the job.
# Yes if your using and old style percolator the one with the glass dome on top, when it starts to perk, you can tell how strong it is by how dark the coffee is getting. The usual amount of time for perked coffee is about 5 minutes. Give or take depending on how strong you like it

5 min is plenty of time to perk.
Central Perk
Coffee has stimulating qualities that perk up flagging energy. It is also a good drink to share with friends and colleagues on a break.
Friends was primarily shown in Central Perk, a coffee house. However it was noted in one flashback episode that Central Perk was previously a bar that everyone hung out at.
