Ruhlman wants his percolator back!

Ruhlman has a post in which he exposes the modern coffee maker for what it is and extols the virtues of the old school GE percolator:

It astonishes me that I have to defend this sleek, 9-cup wonder. I serve generic decaf to guests and they’re begging to know what kind of coffee I buy. Swear to God. I haul out the big green can to prove it. Coffee snoobs will say percolated coffee is "over-extracted." I call it very strong, rich coffee that’s piping hot and stays hot without burning. That its biggest advantage—percolators keep the coffee HOT, auto-drips burn it. And yet the GE model with its glass top and elegant drip-free spout has long been retired.
