I bought an electric percolator yesterday. It makes a maximum of 12 cups of coffee and you use between 8 to 12 tablespoons of coffee grounds to brew the coffee. Yesterday I make a pot of coffee using 8 tablespoons, but it wasn't strong enough. This morning I used 10 tablespoons and it still isn't strong enough, so the next time I make it I'll use 12 tablespoons.
I haven't had a percolator in the house for two or three years, so I have to experiment with the amount of grounds until I get the coffee to the desired strength. I like my coffee strong. I learned to drink coffee from my grandfather and he made "cowboy coffee" in an electric percolator. Grandpa's coffee was strong enough to walk under its own power.
I didn't know how much I missed the sound of a percolator until I made coffee yesterday. I just stood beside the coffee pot listening to it perk. That is one of the most beautiful sounds in the universe. I think that the sound of a percolator is comforting.
Coffee made in a percolator seems hotter then when I make it in a drip coffee maker. However, I think that is because the percolator keeps the coffee hotter then sitting the pot on a heating element to keep it warm.

My Father was a coffee drinker, too

I'm a coffee drinker. I enjoy a hot rich cup of coffee with my breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I drink coffee anytime of the day or night without worrying about sleeping. C0ffee doesn't keep me awake. If I can't sleep it's because problem on my mind rather then drinking coffee.
My father was a coffee drinker. I can remember sitting on his lap on Sunday morning while he drink coffee and read the comics to me. I think my father put cream in his coffee, I'm not sure whether he put sugar in his coffee. I prefer my coffee black, unless it has chocolate added. Chocolate is the only thing I like to add t my coffee.
Come to think of it, all the men in my life were coffee drinkers. My grandfather drink coffee as well. Grandpa drink what he called cowboy coffee, which is coffee strong enough to ride a horse without assistance. Therefore, I guess it's natural for me to drink coffee.
