And - second clarification question - you want the kind of coffee you would get at a brasserie in France? (Which iirc is quite different from an espresso?)

A correction first; this is not a percolator ([see](https://coffee.stackexchange.com/questions/418/whats-the-difference-between-a-percolator-and-a-moka-pot)). [tag:moka] tag in general may help.

# Coffee percolator

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-01-04)

I have bought an Italian percolator and cannot get the taste right, like you would find in a coffee house.

[![Percolator](https://i.sstatic.net/Ii77l.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/Ii77l.jpg)

I buy beans from a proper coffee house and tried many different coffee types and origins.

The taste I am trying to achieve is basically the French coffee taste you get in brasseries.

The owner of the coffee place I buy from heavily roasts my beans but I still can’t get it right.
What am I doing wrong?
