What our customer's say!

"Inexpensive, highly functional, excellent value! ", For what little money this costs, you can't beat it. Well designed, easy to clean, easy to use, and makes great perked coffee! If the plastic percolator top has you on the fence, remember you can get a glass replacement for around $2. We have a gas stove, and unlike another review states, we've found that if you adjust the flame just slightly you get a perfect sized flame for the percolator.

Overall, you're not going to find a more sturdy workhorse for the $10 this is currently listed at. Get this, save your money, and spend it on a good grinder (way more important for great coffee!)

"Great Coffee Percolator", This is a great little coffee percolator, especially for the inexpensive price. For one person it makes more than I need, since the full "8 cups" comes out to about 4 normal mugs full.

I used the original plastic top for the first use, and it didn't seem to get too hot at all. Some mentioned the top melting in other reviews. Once the pot reaches a boil turn the heat down to medium, since it will still percolate there's no reason to boil on a red hot "high" burner (which may have caused the melting they mentioned).

Just in case I also purchased the replacement glass top (B0000CFM6K) advertised with the percolator here. It attached nice and tight, and works great too. I'm sure the inexpensive glass replacement top will last as long as the coffee pot.

Another great thing I noticed was that when I wet the basket, as recommended, before loading the coffee grinds no grinds ended up in the coffee at all. I thought there would be, but no grinds in any cups of coffee after a half dozen uses now. It's a great little percolator.

(I also added some photos to add to the stock image above so you can see the size of the pot, and a comparison of the stock plastic and replacement glass tops)

"Good, but too narrow for most stoves", Percolators really are a forgotten gem. With good coffee, nothing beats them for good coffee at low cost. In a small kitchen, nothing is as space-efficient as a stovetop unit. This model is good, as far as it goes. It is attractive and works well, although I would prefer that the basket and base were a bit wider. As others have commented, the plastic dome really is an inexcusable shortcoming. Even with careful use, it will fail after a year or so. The inner surface etches to a white color. The threads strip. And the bottom edge may distort (apparently steam is hot enough to melt the plastic. ) They could have provided a glass dome for about 50 cents more and made a much better product. You can get a glass replacement, but with delivery it'll cost you nearly 8 bucks. Another shortcoming others have noted is the scrapingly sharp edges of the top and spout. They do seem to get smoother with use, however. One problem with this model is that the base is too narrow for all electric and many gas burners. It wastes energy and feels just a little unstable. The wider base of the otherwise similar Farberware Yosemite model makes it better on most stoves.

"Don't sweat the plastic--glass tops are available!!", I can't really speak on the performance of this particular percolator as I have not had a chance to use it yet. For those who have had problems with the plastic top melting, try replacing it with the Fitz-All glass top (No. 135: Small, diameter hole from 13/16"" to 1-1/2""). I bought mine at REI, but they also sell them on Amazon as well as ACE Hardware's online site. This top fits perfectly and will not melt. Hope this helps. Fitz-All Replacement Percolator Top

"Percolator", The first time I tried it, it leaked from the side of the spout. It was very poorly designed. I would not recommend it. I purchased it after I had purchased two Faberware stove top percolators which were also defective. The covers were warped and I did not bother to return them because the price was only $19.00 and not worth the effort. This pot was almost double the price. I did return it and receive credit from Amazon with no problem. I am still trying to find a satisfactory Stove top Percolator. It could cause a problem if left on gas stove unattended, the leak would turn off the gas.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"tbas", I love this coffee pot. The coffee always comes out good. The pot itself is a nice design and is easy to handle and keep clean.

"Mother's gift", Bought this for my mom's birthday and she absolutely loves it. She is a traditionalist and doesn't like most of the newer coffee makers/pots. It reminds her of being in her mother's kitchen. It works wells and make a great pot of coffee.

"Best one I can find.", I have used one of these for years and found this one to be the best even when there were more choices available. It has become difficult to find one that works on the stovetop or any open fire without electricity. I read one of the reviews for the Arcosteel 18/10 Stainless Steel Percolator also sold on Amazon. The reviewer complained about the pot rusting. I have not had a problem with rusting with this one and I have lived on a boat on salt water. I did have a problem with the plastic top that I suspect everyone that has had one has. They can melt. Too bad they dont correct this. I found a generic one of glass that fits and works perfect. I lost the strainer that fits atop the basket years ago, while washing it in the ocean, and it still works fine. Let the pot sit for a minute after removing it from the fire and any grounds in the coffee will settle to the bottom. Even if you dont have beans especially ground for a percolater as I normally don't. I find the coffee to be richer and hotter than the electric type. You can vary the amount of grounds as well as the time to perk to get your desired strength. Dont forget it and let it boil dry or you will have to throw it away. I'm going to order a new one and keep my old one for backup before the electrostooges take over the world and we can no longer find one.

"use this every day", great product even with a plastic piece on the top that doesn't stay. It works. I put 4 cups of filtered water into a clean pot (well I try). I put 4 little rounded scoops of coffee, perhaps they are tablespoons, into the part that holds the coffee. Oh yes, the coffee is ground for percolator. I have to do this at the store. I haven't figured out if I can use Starbuck's French Press grind in this percolator? Perhaps I'll bring some beans down to the store and see. I put the little distributor on and the lid and cap. I light the stove and let her rip till it starts to boil. When it starts to boil, I turn the heat down 2 notches and set the timer on the microwave to 10 minutes. I turn it off and drink a cup. I buy only dark roast decaf and envy those that can have French Roast regular or any dark roast. I reheat two more cups during the day as needed. Sometimes, I leave a cup for the next day if I'm too lazy to make coffee in the A.M.. Anyway, get a percolator and start enjoying coffee!
