Open your regular stovetop percolator and take out the stem and basket.

Get a paper filter, cut a small hole in the middle, and place it on top of the basket with the stem poking out.

Pour 4 cups of water into the percolator pot.

Add 4 tbsp of ground coffee to the paper filter in the basket.

Carefully place the basket and stem inside the pot and close the lid.

Place your percolator over low heat and wait for your water to boil.

Let it boil for a few minutes, watching the glass knob closely.

Once the glass knob shows a coffee-colored liquid, remove your percolator from the stove.

Pour the coffee into a cup and enjoy.
