A thread wherein we celebrate that aha moment when we find the perfect gift for a loved one.
My dad is a very hard man to shop for. Old timey, he doesn't like gadgets or gizmos or any of the usual stuff that I tend to buy for people, and I've been having a damned time trying to think of what to get him for Christmas.
He likes coffee, he's the kind of guy that will put replacing a broken coffee pot at top priority on his list, so I had thought about getting him a french press, or something similar.
Then it hit me. For as long as I've been alive, he's complained that modern coffee pots just don't make a cup of coffee as good as the percolator his mom used when he was a kid. So instead of getting him a fancy new modern coffee press, I got him this.
An antique electric percolating coffee pot from the 1940's. Solid stainless steel and works great.
