How do you percolate coffee using instant coffee?

Answer 1

A percolator usually consists of five parts: the pot, lid, funnel, filter basket and filter top. Measure water into the pot and put the funnel into the bottom with the wide part down. Next, measure the coffee grounds (coarsely ground) into the filter basket and cover the basket with the filter top. A standard measure is 2 Tablespoons of grounds per cup of water, use more or less as preferred. Place the lid on the top of the pot and the pot on the stove. Turn the stove on high heat. Once the water gets hot enough, it will shoot up the tube and pour over the coffee in the filter. Most percolators have a glass knob on top of the lid which allows you to see the color of the coffee as it brews. This is how most people tell when the coffee is done. Don't keep the pot on the stove too long or you will burn the coffee. Once the water is percolating, it shouldn't take longer than five or six minutes for the coffee to brew.

Answer 2

First fill the percolator basket with coarse ground coffee being careful to avoid overfilling or packing your grounds into the metal basket. Typically, a very smooth, low acid roast is the best choice for percolating due to the inevitable tendency of a percolator to boil your brew. Again, you should follow the 2 tbsp. coarse ground coffee to 6 fl. oz. of water ratio. Add the correct amount of water and reassemble the percolator. Do not overfill the pot as the water level must be below the level of the basket. Heat the percolator over high heat until coffee is seen perking in the clear knob. At this point, you should watch very carefully and remove your coffee from the heat as soon as the coffee stops perking. Do not allow the coffee to perk for more than 3 minutes. If you wish to dilute the strength of your coffee, add hot water after it has already finished brewing.

Answer 3

Cowboy coffee or Army coffee both share some things in common with percolated coffee, percolated coffee is run trough the grounds more than once, (unlike drip), Cowboy coffee is simply coffee boiled in a pot, and then either strained or poured carefully (1 tsp coffee per cup). Army coffee is poured into a cloth that is tied off and hung on the side of the pot so no straining is required, both will give similar results. These are colloquial names so there will be much disagreement on the names

Answer 4

Coffee grounds are placed in a filter basket atop a hollow stem in the center of the pot. Water is poured into the bottom of the pot. As the pot heats the water, it begins to boil and bubbles up the hollow stem, spilling hot water over the grounds and back into the bottom of the pot.

Answer 5

you don't. You simply add instant coffee to the cup and pour almost boiling water on it.
