Coffee Makers

I've had the plastic coffee makers for years and have never been impressed. WHy it took me so long to buy this percolator is a mystery to me. After my latest Mr. Coffee conked out, I decided it was time for a change. I was debating investing in a new very expensive coffee maker or the old fashioned electric coffee pot. I read all the review on this pot and ordered it. [...] I had my first pot yesterday. The coffee was delicious and best of all really, really HOT. This pot does not have any bells and whistles...no green lights or red lights, no outside glass indicator to show you how full it is. I put the filters from my old maker into the little thing where you put the coffee and that works just fine. It's less of a mess to clean. It does brew very quickly, shuts itself down to warm when it's done brewing. I had an elelctric coffee pot years ago and it's true that the quality of the pot is not what it used to be, but I have no complaints. Good tasting, hot coffee - I'm a happy camper."..."  Read more

*smallish pot *may leave grounds *no auto shut off *appears very sturdy I love this coffee pot, however it is a little on the small side - makes two (2) generous mugs or three (3) regular mugs at most with each brew. If you are using cup & saucer you may just get 4 cups. I live alone so this is fine for me but you may want to consider a larger pot for 2 or more people. I think percolated coffee tastes best and this coffee pot makes great coffee. The only problem with the coffee is that there are sometimes a few coffee grounds in the last cup. I don't mind, but if you do, you may want to consider something with a filter. The coffee is always good and hot and stays hot if you keep the pot plugged in. Also, beware - the pot gets quite hot to the touch. The only thing that would make this better would be an automatic shut off after, say, 2 hours. The pot is also very cute (because it's small) and the construction appears very study and durable. I *love* this coffee pot!"..."  Read more

High tech, programmable drip coffee makers may be all the rage due to their convenience, but the whole point is THE COFFEE. Fresh brewed coffee is by far better tasting. Brewing doesn't take any more time than using a coffeemaker. I can actually CLEAN all the parts of my percolator. And I even get more cups of coffee from fewer beans than I did with any of my drip coffee makers."..."  Read more

Been searching for years for a coffee pot that made really great coffee. Who knew that what goes around comes around in coffee pots! Not just great coffee but great memories as well of coffee perking when I was a kid! No wonder my parents were such avid coffee drinkers...they perked it!"..."  Read more
