I've never seen one IRL.  But a search on the net revealed that I've seen them on the 'net before.

The closest to percolated coffee that I've seen in operation is a standard precolator.  But those are generally meant for larger quantities of coffee. 

I started using a single serve electric one. I forget the brand (Braun perhaps?) Anyway.. I started getting frustrated with the cost of those single pods and all the plastic waste they created. So, now I use the machine as an instant hot-water machine only, and use my own ground coffee in a cone filter that sits in a holder on top of the cup.

Ciao!
