OldSchool Wonderful I bought this percolator based on reviews here and price. Great decision! Absolutely nothing fancy..no timer no grind & brew system no sneakacup while brewing no builtin clock. The entire process is firstthinginthemorning calming as you fill with water fill with coffee put together and brew. Included instructions are clear and accurate. Using my electric stove I start on mediumhigh and when the second perc is visible in the clear knob I turn down heat to medium. I then let the coffee perc for 6 minutes and remove from the heat for my perfect cup. This is fine as I prefer a slightly stronger brew. One additional benefit is that since the pour spout is open the kitchen is scented with smell the coffee aromas while brewing. Pour spout directs the coffee into the cup and not on the counter top or down the side of the unit. Off the heat the coffee stays hot for about 30 minutes. Highly recommend this percolator.
A blast to my past nostalgia here I come! I am sipping coffee as I write this that was made with this product. I own a drip a press a Kruerig and now this why?It has nothing to do with making great coffee as I find all but the Kuerig always make me happy but that is a matter for another review. The reason I bought this was my childhood. I am 54 and when I was a kid this was the way everyone made coffee in the morning. I fondly remember the smell as my Grandmother fixed it for her and my Grandfather. I remember it on camping trips and there in lies the real catch. I find as I get older that there are some things that I enjoy simply because of what I remember of them and this is one. I also bought the glass knob for the lid to complete the set up. I makes me smile when I drink this coffee and that is what matters most.So how do you get a good cup? You can buy Melita round filters that fit the bottom of the basket perfectly. I wet it down to complete the seal to the bottom. Often I then use coffee that I coarse grind from just about any bean. I also use some preground coffee. This coffee with be strong so you may want to use a medium grind unless you want really strong black coffee. I set the initial heat at around 78 so I get a quick boil and then turn down to 45 once I get a strong boil. Once it has been perc'ng for about 67 minutes I drop it down to 12 depending on how hot you want to keep the coffee. I prefer 2 as I add creamer and like it to start hotter.Coffee is a personal choice but to be honest when I want to get into max nostalgia I have a dirty little secret I use Folgers as that was the poison of choice for my Grandparents. I buy the 'Black Silk' version and find that made this way I have no complaints. Yes there is better coffee way better coffee though Starbucks has forced even Folgers to up their game. My one complaint is that clean up is complicated by the design as it is hard to completely get water out of the pot due to the deep lip around the top and the way the spout is designed. I can live with that.Ok the Cinnamon Rolls are done time to really drift back in time.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR had been looking for a nice percolator for a while now and was very pleased to find this one .
Beautiful Percolator I bought this as a backup to my electric drip coffee maker because the power goes out a lot in Florida and I can use it on my gas stove. It is beautiful and well made. A great get for the price.
Great coffee I use this twice a day and it works great. Makes a great cup of coffee. Appears to be very durable.
Unbelievably simple old school and it works This throw back delivers 4 mug size cups of very hot and very good tasting coffee. Grind your favorite coffee bean and fill the metal filter with 1 Table spoon of coffee for each mug boil percolate and enjoy. This is way better than a coffee maker. The only better coffee is café de olla. Don't let the price fool you at $19.99 it's a steal. Buy 2. Take one to your favorite relative's house so you can have a good cup of coffee when you visit them.
Absolutely the best there is I've gone through four coffee pots so far this year. My search is finally over.First the bad. Farberware used to be the only coffee maker worth considering until they sold out and cheapened their products with poor materials and bad designs. I really wanted to purchase the Farberware Superfast electric but like most things it isn't what it used to be.Thankfully the stovestop model is welldesigned. The chrome finish looks great and the handle stays cool. It's a slow perc which makes the coffee taste richer and has more flavour. The key feature is the flared base which keeps the heat away from the sides of the pot. My last pot left a burnt taste if left on the stove too long because the sides got too hot.As for the plastic top which everyone complains about stop complaining and purchase
Goodbye Keurig We LOVE this perculatorso much so that we sold our Keurig and are using this only. Just order a new glass top for it right away and you will be delighted with this percolator from day one.
coffee pot If a perfect hot cup of coffee is your goal this coffee pot is the only oneto own. Guests rave about our coffee. It can be stronger or weaker as you like.It gets filled with water add 6 scoops of coffee and perk for 6 minutes.You will never have counter top coffee maker coffee AGAIN!And you can't buy these is stores anynore! People look at you weirdwhen you ask for one if they even know what you are talking about.Just spend $20 for the pot and buy ground coffee and you are good to go.
Solidly built Nice heavily constructed. I use on it my boat and it gets knocked around a bit. Would be nice if it had markings for measurement of water and coffee.
