\"Setting<\/a>

Setting the breakfast table with Fiestaware and Riviera makes for a colorful start to the day.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/h4>\n

I enjoy\u00a0collecting 1930’s\u00a0kitchen items and I love to use them. Before going\u00a0out on a day of antique hunting, I will start by making\u00a0a 1930’s style breakfast.<\/h4>\n

\"Big<\/a>

Big brother, little brother – 1930’s Silex six cup and two cup, vacuum coffee pots.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

A good cup of coffee is always welcome at the start of the day. And the best tasting coffee is made with a vacuum coffee pot, like my 1936 Silex. This style of coffee pot went out of favor in the 1950’s and the electric percolator became\u00a0the standard coffee pot in homes.\u00a0Vacuum pots are not easy to clean, but they make a very good tasting coffee, because the grounds do not sit in the coffee, there is no bitterness to the flavor. The earlier style Silex coffee makers, like mine, had a\u00a0narrow neck. Around 1940 the wide neck versions started to appear. I like the look of the earlier style (much more like an hour-glass), but the wide neck variety are much easier to clean.<\/h4>\n
