Just as advertised, an old-fashioned percolator. Built well, and a very attractive design. Everytyhing you want when you don't have electricity.

OK, do you like perked coffee? I do, but it ain't for everybody. If you like it perked, you can't do better than this model. Timeless styling, and stainless steel (not that aluminum junk). Works flawlessly, goes right into the dishwasher. My only gripe is that it does not come with operating instructions. My technique is, once you load it up with water and coffee, bring to a boil, reduce the heat a little, and let it perk for 4 and half minutes. Watch out, perked coffee is (literally) boiling hot!

I love, love, LOVE this Percolator! It was the best almost thirty dollars we spent last year. Best coffee I've had and very easy to clean. I also love that its "retro" in design! This pot is really great :)I can't recommend this percolator enough :)

I bought this coffee pot to replace the beat up old percolator up at the cabin, where there is no electricity. It makes good, hot coffee - perfect for morning wake-up and filling your thermos. The wide bottom provides a large surface area to bring the pot to a quicker boil, and the synthetic handle can be bare-handed (unlike those stupid metal handled 'camping gear' coffee pots that require an oven mitt just to pour your coffee). I'm with the crowd that prefers the flavor of perked coffee over that of drip coffee, and I like the fact that you're not pouring your coffee through a chemical laced paper filter (percolators typically use a permanent metal basket filter). My one caveat is the inside lip at the bottom, which, as another reviewer noted, makes thoroughly cleaning difficult, but it's not a big deal given that you do BOIL the contents every time you make coffee (and it's far easier to clean than the reservoirs of drip coffee makers).

I bought this coffee maker for a camping trip. There were alot of coffee drinkers that came up. Instant coffee didnt seem like a good option so I thought the old fashion coffee maker would be the best solution. Well the pot did a great job and the coffee tasted delish... Would recommend to anyone who needs an option when no electricity is a factor.

I bought this to replace my Coleman red enamel percolator. I really like how sturdy this one is compared to my Coleman, which had very flimsy internal parts that quickly bent out of shape and made the pot unusable after a while. This percolator has no such problems with its parts. My only complaints are that I do detect a slight metallic taste to my coffee, and because the rim of the pot curves in, it's hard to get all the water out of the pot during washing. I do think that part of this is just me and that I need to get a better quality of coffee (I've been using Dunkin Donuts). Other than that, I am really pleased with this percolator so far and don't regret my purchase.
