Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Before I purchased this coffee pot about a year ago, I read reviews by others who said 'good coffee but lasted only a few months.' I thought to myself...'oh, those people must have been the unlucky few who got bad units...or they emersed the pot and ruined it.' I should have listened to their 'don't buy' pleas, and hope others will listen to my message of warning.
I loved this coffee pot. Rich, strong, hot coffee, and great classic looks. My only complaint was that compared to other percolators I've used, this one is noisy. It makes a loud popping sound while brewing. I never emersed the unit, and was always very careful to avoid letting any water get near the base of the unit when washing it.
I bought this pot a year ago, and used it about twice a MONTH. Yesterday morning, I attempted to make coffee but got only the same 'beige water' that others have reported. Tried again today thinking maybe it was just a fluke, and got a second pot of luke warm 'beige water.'
I suspect that others who posted initially positive feedback about this pot have had the same experience, but just haven't returned to update their reviews. In any case, I would strongly caution against the purchase of this pot. It's just not durable.

Housed in heavyweight stainless steel with an attractive chrome mirror finish, this quick-brewing electric percolator makes 12 cups of coffee with super-fast, cup-a-minute speed. When brewing is complete, it automatically switches to a "keep warm" temperature to ensure each cup is as warm as the first. Great for entertaining, the percolator has a ready-to-serve light that indicates when coffee is ready to enjoy, and its detachable cord provides the ability to serve fresh perked coffee right at the table without any hassle. Other useful features include a drip-free spout, an easy-grip knob on the unit's lid, a stay-cool handle, and a stainless-steel permanent filter basket that minimizes grounds in brewed coffee. The unit combines present-day technology with the retro look of a '50s kitchen for creating a perfect compliment to any kitchen decor. The percolator, which should be washed by hand, measures 5-1/2 by 5-1/2 by 12-3/4 inches.
