In it's original tissue paper and box. A note on home grinders making a fine grind, you must invest in a good burr grinder to be able to do this. I used to have a Hamilton Beach burr grinder and it would make a grind as fine as talcum powder for expresso. Just my .02 cents. I just scored a new old stock biggin from Normandy France on Ebay.

First, chicory is simply a matter of taste. If you grew up drinking it daily as cafe au lait it creates the fondest of memories if you now live in Texas and drink some of the dish water they call coffee here. I would say that most New Orleanians would agree that a tablespoon of coffee per 6 ozs. of water plus a tablespoon for the pot would satisfy most New Orleans coffee drinkers. Of course, tastes vary and some might like it stronger or weaker. I have seen some people add the water one tablespoon at a time but this really tests one's patience. The best advise is to just take your time adding the water. No place in the U.S. made better coffee than New Orleans but things are changing now.

Mine is a 12 cup pot BUT each of those cups are only 5 oz. What I would truly appreciate is a formula for Strong Coffee and one for Medium Coffee based on the 5oz. cup. Any takers here? Thank you!

I saw that they have dark roast and light roast. If I want mideum roast, does it mean I can mix half each or dark and light roast? I was trying to purchase Costa Rica coffee online.

They recirculate the coffee by *Boiling* it, which is an absolute no-no. Not only that, but most of them allow you keep the coffee hot by continuoous heating. Double bad! Please don't!

Where on the web can I find one of these pots? I too am from New Orleans and have memories of that very slow drip method. I have a small pot (almost 8") and it has only one filter. Better results than anything electric of course, and, moreover those all break. Have even been considering stove-top percolator...would want a well-made one...any comments there? Thanks to Jewel or anyone

Hard to come by and a lot of the new (overseas) junk out there is not worth having. Are there more where yours came from? Bottom strainer is the rounded one; top one is flat. I wouldn't get too uptight about hard water deposits (if you get them). A little white vinegar soak does wonders-every now and then. Please let us know how it works for you. Where did the term "biggin" come from? Never heard that in my years of drinking the nectar that comes out of one of these things. I haven't had a decent cup of coffee now for about 25 years now. Oh well! To Jewel

All parts are porcelain including all strainers. It is white with black trim and about 10 inches tall. I had gone to the web to discover why there were 2 strainers inside the biggin.
