Making coffee is a popular way to start the day for many people. There are several methods of making coffee, including brewing, perking, and percolating. Brewing involves pouring hot water over ground coffee beans and allowing it to steep for a few minutes before straining it. Perking is a method of boiling coffee grounds in a pot with a lid on top that has a tube that allows steam to escape. Percolating is a method of boiling coffee grounds in a pot with a tube that goes from the bottom of the pot to the top, allowing the water to pass through the grounds multiple times. All three methods result in a delicious cup of coffee.
