Vintage farberware percolator does not stop percolating
There is a thermostat in the bottom of the percolator that is broken. It would normally cut off the percolator heating element after the water reaches a certain temperature. It can be replaced but it takes a little skill. There is a video on eBay.
If you want to just unplug the percolator, time it for 1 minute per cup.
How much coffee per cup?
One tablespoon per cup. Or 2.50z to 3.0oz of coffee for 12 cups depends on your taste
Strong coffee add more coffee or if you like light coffee less coffee.
Don't let the coffee sit for long time in this kind of brewer. More than 30 min. is going to kill the flavor.
How many scoops of coffee
All depends on how you like your coffee, And the size of cups you are using.
The standard is: 64oz. of water and 2oz to 3oz of coffee for 12 cups, That is about 5 to 6oz.of coffee per cup.
If you want a strong cup of coffee use 1.5 gal. of water and 9oz of coffee for 36 cups. If NOT use more water and less coffee.
REMEMBER, Don't let the coffee sit in your coffee brewer for long time.
How much coffee do I
that would depend on the coffee, and how strong you like it.
as well as how large your standard cups are.
I use 1/4 cup of folgers classic blend for 4 'normal' cups of coffee. I also use an oversized camping mug - so 4 normal cups fills two of the mugs. - - - you may want to try 1 1/8 cup of coffee grounds in the filter if making a full pot.
