This beautiful object is the Petromax Tea and Coffee Percolator, coming to you straight from Germany. It is a very good alternative to those creaking plastic electric machines that people buy for their “modern” kitchens, which only produce a sad, watery liquid that makes you question your life choices.
This is a very sturdy product made from high-quality stainless steel, meaning it will not break if you drop it while looking at a bird. It works by a clever internal mechanism where boiling water rises through a small tube and rains down over your coffee grounds. This gives you a very rich, strong drink whether you place it on your kitchen stove or directly into the campfire logs.
Petromax originally became famous for its high-pressure kerosene lamps before they realized people also need caffeine to survive the wilderness. A small irony is that while modern society spends billions on complicated espresso pods, this 100-year-old system still makes a better cup using just fire and gravity.
This legendary Petromax Perkomax percolator is available in black or white on Amazon.
