Can I get sick from drinking espresso percolated in an old rusty stove-top maker?

Question

just a little rust.

Answer 1

Honestly, I'm not positive, but it doesn't sound very healthy to me. Or like it would taste very good.

Answer 2

No more than you would from cooking in a cast-iron skillet. Iron is a mineral NEEDED by the body, and any iron that would come from a properly cleaned cooking utensil of ANY type is only beneficial. I have an old iron tea-kettle that i use all the time. Makes excellent tea, and coffee.
