Smitty's Percolating Coffee Psycho
Percolators violate most of the natural laws about brewing coffee.
Main law: Don't over extract the oils and flavor.
Percolators work by taking coffee and reheating it and throwing it over the grounds over and over and over again.
Violating these rules may not sound like much, but these are about the only rules there are. The effect of a percolator is to keep passing boiling water/coffee over the grounds until there is no flavor left and the flavor in the coffee is so dead that it's a worthless waste.
“Smitty’s percolating coffee psycho” is a small motor scooter that runs on the caffeine molecule, along with other alkaloids such as methylxanthines, ophyllines, and some bromines. It is made with old coffee cans and electric percolating coffee pots that have been shaped into a motor scooter. Smitty originally designed the scooter to break a world record of riding a motor scooter, (staying on 2 wheels without stopping) for the longest period of time. The scooter being a source of freshly brewed coffee would provide Smitty the caffeine, determination, and endurance for staying awake to operate this scooter for the 57 hours he would need to accomplish his goal. This plan has unfortunately been seized and postponed to a future date. Today Smitty is preaching the word of the old fashion electric coffee percolator, despite the laws of coffee, percolated coffee is Smitty’s favorite.
