[Noisebridge-discuss] Ideas...Hacking the coffee peculators to work with our induction stove?

[Robert Chu]

We do have an induction stove, and I am not sure what type of metal the
bottom of the percolator is made out of.

Noisebridge also has a propane torch in the shop to use. I would also be
willing to help out with this project if you would like to sync up on this.


Best regards
