Sunday Morning Coffee Haiku
Coffee
Oh Coppertop pot
Brew your magic elixir
Fill my goblet now
The coffee pot belonged to my Mother-In-law; this was how coffee was made in the olden days.
Fill water to the top line of the coffee pot, (that will make 8 to 10 cups of coffee). Spoon in 8 to 10 tablespoons of coffee. I filled it to the top line that is indicated on the basket, place the basket onto the stem which is actually the percolator, cover the basket with the basket cover, called the coffee spreader, cover the coffee pot (my pot has a copper top) J
Place on stove bring heat to medium high to high and wait for the water to boil, once the water boils the percolator starts to do its job – allow to percolate for 7 ½ minutes – take off heat and let it rest and settle for a minute.
Pour in cup add sweetener of choice, and any dairy product – for me I like almond milk, or add nothing and enjoy it as it is made.

Me too, that is I remember the olden days too I have been using the coffee pot the last couple of days….so good and it smells up kitchen each morning. 🙂
just needed to have coffee from a percolator you too have an awesome week.
What a fun post! I love the haiku! I'm sipping coffee and catching up reading posts on favorite blogs today!
Marisa, I remember my mom making coffee in the percolator, and loved listening to the bubbly sounds while the aroma soon started to fill the kitchen, our guests waiting in the dining room with their dessert! Your pic brought back many sweet memories. Did you know that I only started drinking coffee at the age of 46, (four years ago!), and now I so look forward to that first cup every morning. I'm experimenting with different blends, which I do myself, and lately, it's been a Swiss caramel/almond/Brazilian roast. My second cup is a Greek coffee, about 3 hours later, and then a tea in the late afternoon. Thanks for sharing your Sunday morning coffee haiku, and Happy Thanksgiving!
