percolators
Drip coffee machines
Percolators are coffeepots that brew by cycling boiling water up through a tube and down through ground coffee.
The process repeats until the coffee reaches desired strength.
Before drip machines dominated, percolators were the standard home brewing method.
The word extends to anything that percolates—filters slowly, spreads gradually: Ideas percolate through the culture.
