the way i make a coffee is as follows,
i pour from kli rishon into cup and right there i have kli sheni and i pour coffee milk etc.
i dont use another cup,
a few questions first, when pouring from a percolator the type that needs extra pumping to pour, once i poured the water into the cup and i need some more water am i allowed to pour more into the cup (now i have a kli sheni cup and pouring from percolator is kli rishon in to kli sheni, )?
2) if i use a 2nd cup to make the coffee with(meaning i pour into first cup, pour cup 1 into cup 2) and sometimes the first cup is a much smaller cup, so you have to use the first cup again to get more water, but since you used it already it has a little water left over, so what i heard saying in the name of chasidishe rabanim is that you dont have to dry off cup #1 completely, is that true/ok to do?

1) The way you are making coffee is fine, though some people are Machmir and use a Kli Shlishi.

2) Not only chasidish. If the residue water drops left in the first cup were previously boiled, it is not required - but it is preferable - to dry out the first cup before pouring more hot water from a Kli Rishon into that cup.
