BBC - h2g2 - Ways to Make Good Coffee (#)
„Many machines have a hot plate to keep the coffee hot.Filter coffee can be somewhat lacking in flavour because the filter paper takes the flavour out. There's also a temptation to leave a pot of coffee sitting on the hot plate to keep it hot. This destroys the flavour. At most you should keep your coffee hot in this manner for just five minutes.Should your electric machine ever break down (or should you find yourself just looking to try something new and exciting), why not just set the filter holder on top of a conventional jug, like a Thermos?“

BBC News | SCI/TECH | Cult coffee machine sold
„The researchers decided to attach a camera to it and broadcast its pictures on the net, so that anyone looking at the images would know whether making the trip to the pot was worthwhile. Sold: The final webcam image The percolator soon acquired cult status, with hundreds of thousands of people logging on to watch it on one of the first ever web-cam broadcasts. The Cambridge computer department decided to sell the broken old pot because it is moving to new labs and the students want a new coffee-maker. "Time moves on and we want to buy a shiny new espresso machine," the students wrote in their offering on auction site eBay.“

„And that's why the American habit of bringing a teacup, a tea bag and a pot of hot water to the table is merely the perfect way of making a thin, pale, watery cup of tea that nobody in their right mind would want to drink. The Americans are all mystified about why the English make such a big thing out of tea because most Americans have never had a good cup of tea. That's why they don't understand. In fact the truth of the matter is that most English people don't know how to make tea any more either, and most people drink cheap instant coffee instead, which is a pity, and gives Americans the impression that the English are just generally clueless about hot stimulants.“
