   I've never seen one IRL.  But a search on the net revealed that I've seen them   
   on the 'net before.   
      
   The closest to percolated coffee that I've seen in operation is a standard   
   precolator.  But those are generally meant for larger quantities of coffee.    
      
   I started using a single serve electric one. I forget the brand (Braun   
   perhaps?) Anyway.. I started getting frustrated with the cost of those single   
   pods and all the plastic waste they created. So, now I use the machine as an   
   instant hot-water machine only, and use my own ground coffee in a cone filter   
   that sits in a holder on top of the cup.   
      
   Ciao!
