Rust inside the base
The inside base of my percolator has some rust. How should I go about removing it, how can I keep it from returning, and should I even be drinking from it?
Is this a good question?

Rusty water is not much of a health concern, but it might affect the taste and look.
To remove rust, you can use a brass wire brush against the affected areas. Make sure to clean up any dust that may fall to the bottom during the process. If you do not have a brass wire brush, you can also use sandpaper, but the result might not be as nice.
After clearing the rust you can apply a food safe corrosion protectant like this one to prevent further rusting.

most coffee pots are stainless. I am thinking that isn't rust, it is coffee stains.
The easy way to remove it is to put a Cascade Platinum Plus tab in there and pour boiling watet into it and let is sit for 30 minutes.
