Title: Superior brew - No Plastic - No Paper
Review: Far exceeds my expectations. It is solidly built, stainless steel, simplistic in design and function, thoroughly efficient at getting every drop of quality brew from every bean. Produces rich, bold, flavorful, coffee with zero plastic, and zero paper. Don’t use paper filters, or you’ll miss out on flavor and richness from the oils in the coffee bean. Thirteen minutes to brew, then it keeps hot all day. This replaced my beloved Cuisinart drip coffee maker to eliminate consumption of plastic. Not only am I avoiding drinking plastic, I no longer have to buy paper filters, and the percolator brew is way better. Flawless performance.

Title: Great coffee
Review: I was looking for an easy to use stainless steel coffee maker. This is much easier to use than French press or pour over for me. Decent price. Good size! I could make enough to drink on all day if I wanted. The coffee stays super hot! I love the black matte color. Super sleek looking. This is easy to clean too. I don't use the filters, so there's a bit of grounds in the last cup, but I'd rather that than using filters. This coffee maker is easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee!!

Title: Tips for a genuinely amazing cup of a coffee...
Review: My family has owned this percolator for 6 years now, purchased right here on Amazon in 2010, and I'm about to buy another one for work.This pot has consistently delivered the best tasting coffee - better than all restaurants we frequent, better than friends and family's coffee... just awesomely, amazingly good. I've had a couple of minor maintenance issues over the years (see below) but they were super easily overcome, and in general this has been a super-reliable and very inexpensive appliance. Honestly, this has to have been one of my most favorite appliance purchases ever. And all for less than $40. Take THAT, you overpriced, overly featured drip machines that make lousy coffee!! ;-)*TIPS*With this, and any other stainless percolator, there are some basic guidelines to follow that aren't necessarily in the manual:1. DO NOT use a paper filter. Ever. Use the metal basket ONLY. The holes are tiny enough to allow the coffee through, but to keep 99.9% of the gains in. Using the metal basket without a paper filter allows the flavor oils that naturally exist in the coffee bean to STAY in the coffee and contribute to its amazing and full flavor. If you use a paper filter, you'll lose the oils and get an "over-extracted" flavor that's more bitter than bold... so don't use a paper filter, follow the instructions, and you're GOLDEN - perfect coffee every time. Yes, you'll get a couple of grains in the last cup without a paper filter... whoop-de-do, just don't drink the very last few drops of the very last cup - problem solved. ;)2. Cleaning the pot: Make sure it's clear of any build-up, but don't scrub the interior... allow the percolator to become seasoned. It's hot enough to prevent any bacterial issues, just like a wok or a cookie sheet. So let that puppy get seasoned, it's perfectly safe AND more delicious over time! The key place for build up is the receiving "hole" at the bottom of the pot for the metal tube. That can build up coffee debris pretty quick, and if you don't clear it, it will keep the metal tube from seating properly and you won't be able to brew properly, if at all. You only need to scrape away the excess with a fingernail, and you're good to go. The outside of the pot, however, feel free to scrub and make super shiny. It's really a nice looking piece when cleaned!3. Cleaning the basket: The basket's tiny holes can get plugged up over a month or so of daily use. There's two ways to deal with this: chemically (cleaners) or with a wire brush. I prefer the wire brush route and just tap the bottom of the basket, which instantly clears the holes and allows you to keep the years of perfect seasoning intact. Wire brush FTW.4. When assembling the pot in order to brew coffee, if you don't get the metal tube lined up with the receiving hole in the bottom of the pot, you'll get a misfire where you'll get a weak pot of coffee (at best), if not a mere pot of hot water. To ensure this doesn't happen, once the metal tube is aligned with the receiving hole, twist it left and right like you're trying to gently screw it in. It doesn't actually screw in... the twisting movement simply forces it to pop into the hole if it isn't in the hole already. Best. Trick. Ever.5. Don't overfill the basket with coffee - the closer you are to the top of the tube, the more likely to get grains in the bottom of the pot. However, don't underfill or you'll get weak coffee. Follow the instructions, and you should be fine.6. It's OK to let the coffee sit plugged in and ready to go for a long time as a FULL pot. If you're going to be leaving less than half a pot for more than an hour, UNPLUG IT, the coffee can burn if it sits long enough, just like ANY coffee pot. However, I've let a full pot sit for 4 or 5 hours, plugged in, and it's still not bad at all. Obviously, the fresher the better - just don't let it sit plugged in with very little coffee left, or your coffee will be understandably less delicious than you were expecting.7. MAINTENANCE: I've had to replace the wire/plug once because using it thousands of times caused it to develop a minor short. Any plug/wire off the shelf that fits will do... it's just a straight up, no frills, 2 prong AC cable. Easy-peasy. I've also seen the screws holding on the bottom decay over time as they're not made of rust-resistant metal, sadly. However, a quick trip to your local hardware store will get you brand new ones; just bring the old ones with and ask the hardware guy for help. I replaced the bottom screws about 2 years ago when they got too rusty, so I got 4 years out of mine. You might be able to forestall the rusty screws issue by covering the holes with hot glue to prevent water from getting up in there when you wash the outside. That'd probably work perfectly, but I haven't actually tried it.Finally, stop reading reviews, buy this pot, and enjoy your awesome coffee!!!

Title: Presto 12 cup electric percolator
Review: My drip coffee maker needed replaced ASAP. The base was getting really hot and that would not be good for safety. Decided a percolator would be the better choice for both taste and longevity. It was the right choice for taste. Won't know about longevity until I get 4-6 years out.Pros: The design is beautiful, fits with my decor and is a much smaller footprint than the drip maker. Easy to pour. No carafe breakage if bumped. Stainless steel throughout equals easy to clean (but the taste of the coffee improved by letting it season).Cons: It was a little bit of a learning curve to get the coffee right. It required more coffee to get the taste right as compared to my drip coffee maker, but with that said, the taste was superior in this pot. No automatic features meant I had to buy a cheap timer that would handle the wattage of the pot, not a big deal. I had read up about grounds in the coffee for percolators and solved that problem by also buying French press screens and cutting them to size. One for the bottom and one for the top = no grounds in coffee. No way to really tell when you're at the end of the pot as there's no viewing window is the only feature I miss.Summary: excellent machine with better tasting coffee that's beautiful to look at and easier to clean if you can deal with the minor hassles plus added expense of a timer and metal screens.

Review: Excelente cafetera. Fácil de usar y fácil de servir. A diferencia de las cafeteras de "vaso" o jarra de vidrio, este tipo de cafetera sí calienta el café como se debe además de dar un mejor sabor al manejar temperaturas más altas. Así es como deberían ser todas las cafeteras, ya que además no hay riesgo de que se te rompa o quiebre tan fácilmente. Por otro lado, puedes usarla sin filtro, lo que la hace además una opción más ecológica y barata a largo plazo.

Review: コーヒー豆と水を入れたら勝手に大量にコーヒーを作ってくれるマシンを探していたので購入。特に問題なく大容量のコーヒーがすぐに作れます。気になる点としたら機械部分が丸洗いできないことくらいかな。あと、もうちょっと安いといいな。
