The last time I saw one of these was 50+ years ago at grandma's. She would fire that old metal pot up and fill up the house with the aroma of percolating coffee and hot apple pie. Needless to say, road testing this thing brought back a lot of memories.There are good things and not so good things about these percolators. The good? Waaay better tasting coffee with less grounds and it's dishwasher safe. The not so good? It takes about 3 times longer than drip methods.So, bottom line: If you've got the time this percolator will make you a great pot of coffee, AND you'll use about 2/3 as much grounds as you do with drip makers. At the amount I drink, this thing will pay for itself in about 4 -5 months. Definitely recommend.

I was a bit disappointed with the milky plastic knob since that is the fun of seeing coffee perk but overall, for the price it is fine. I have a smaller one from 35 years ago that is also plastic inside and it has held up fine as I expect this to.I will be getting 3.5" filters for the bottom as its easier to clean but otherwise with coarse ground coffee, you wont need them.I boil the kettle then I fill the carafe, pop in the guts and let it perk on low heat. I have no worries of glass bursting and I ALWAYS use the trivet they provide to keep it lifted off the burner. The coffee is good.

I bought this to replace an old 1940's glass percolator, which everyone loved. We could not find a glass insert so reluctantly bought this one with plastic basket. But I was impressed with how well it perks on the stove. And it works well with both fine grind or coarse grind coffee. Good value for the money! I was also surprised that it didn't break during shipping because it was simply shipped in a cardboard box with no packing around it. Tempered glass must be the key!

Alright everyone, I'm not a coffee "expert" per say, however, most complaints about this product I read, were clearly people that have no idea how a perculator works.1) COARSE grind coffee. You don't arguably need any type of filters. Use as is.2) You may get "sediment" and/ or oils in your coffee. Ummm.... ya thats called flavourful and full bodied coffee the way any coffee expert will tell ya. Don't like a little bit of sediment? Then buy the filters and use a fine grind.3) I found best method is once the perculator comes to a fast "perk" leave for aprx 1 min, then turn dial on stove all the way down to low or 1. Leave for aprx 3-5 min. Excellent coffee.4) remove the basket/ stem etc after the 3-5 min slow perk. If you leave in there, coffee will just keep getting stronger and probably why some complain about "warping" ya... cause you don't leave it in there on the stove as you drink the coffee!I grind my own beans. Home grinder would be considered "coarse". Perculator is usually considered a stronger coffee so experiment. I have had "zero" issues with plastic melting or warping. Clearly people also don't know step 4! Immediately before serving...remove the filter and basket.

Cómoda, fácil de armar, fácil de ocupar, fácil de lavar, esta cafetera hace muy rico café, solo uno se tarde unas dos o tres veces en saber cuánto exactamente vas a dejar hervir la preparación pues de eso depende cuán cargado resulta el café y pues claro eso ya es cosa de gustos. Recomiendo de todas maneras comprar esta cafetera, nunca di con una tan práctica y que hiciera tan buen café de tan fácil manera, ideal.

Esta cafetera hace uno de los mejores cafés que he probado, rápidamente se ha convertido en una de mis favoritas. Simplemente hay que leer algunas de las recomendaciones hechas por otros usuarios.En primer lugar, el llenado de agua debe ser hasta donde termina el cintillo de metal, más arriba moja el café. Posteriormente se debe poner a hervir el agua sin el filtro y sin la tapa.En cuanto haya hervido el agua, es necesario bajar la flama al mínimo ó apagarla. Enseguida se coloca lentamente el filtro con café y la tapa.Volver a encender la flama, de preferencia al mínimo y esperar entre 5 y 7 minutos posteriores a la ebullición.Hay dos detalles con la cafetera, durante la ebullición escapan algunos granos de café al interior y el segundo es que la tapa no embona con fuerza, por lo que al servir, debe sostenerse y de esta manera, solucionar ambos problemas.Siguiendo estos pequeños tips, garantizo un magnífico café.

I bought this to replace my two quickly broken french presses (bodum brand). I like the clean modern glass look, its very easy to clean. Came with a chintzy looking wire frame to place on the burner for it to rest on but seems to do the job. grounds basket needs a handle or hook for you to pull it out of the hot coffee so you can pour, basket is starting to bend due to high heatNow making the coffee turns out to be a bit tricky. You cant let it start to boil or it makes the coffee bitter, but its a very small window between drip and full boil and many times I go over. It also takes a full 15 minutes to make a pot even if you use warm/hot water from the tap [which wastes water as you wait for it to warm up in the tap]. In frustration I have resorted to using a tea kettle to preheat the water. While I wait for the tea kettle to boil I put the medelco on the stove with an inch of water on the bottom [to temper the glass to the boiling water coming] and turn the heat up to medium on the burner. add the coffee grounds to the basket and set aside, by then the tea kettle is boiling which I pour into the medelco and add the basket and lid. Within 1-3 min the coffee is ready. total time around 6min. Its just easier this way to prevent the long wait and boilover.end result is a nice cup of joe.pros: nice to look at, makes good coffee, easy to cleancons: glass is a bit worrisome for shattering, takes a long while to make coffee from cold water, very small window from percolation to full boil, coffee ground basket is starting to bend perhaps due to pouring in boiling water? many a burnt finger trying to get the basket out so i can pour, if you leave the basket in the coffee resoaks the grounds and leaks bitter coffee back into the pot, i end up using a pair of scissors to clasp the basket tip and pull it out that way.will buy this againEDIT UPDATE:It's almost a year and half since I got this pot and its still going strong. The included trivet has rusted, which makes a mess tho. I would recommend not getting it wet at all to prevent that from happening. I have a new element-less stove so I dont need the trivet anymore, yey! with proper use and tempering the glass using my above procedure I expect this pot will last for years to come. Lets just say, other pots broke within weeks or months and this one is still ticking.

Typical Brew coffee makers get grimy and disgusting quickly. Running vinegar through a Brew machine is kind of like taking your prized car through a car-wash, but never cleaning out it's interior. It's a joke if you think you can really clean out a Brew machine's internals well enough to NOT have disturbing tastes filter through. Clean them more and more, yet the flavor still gets worse and worse. Perked coffee can always be made, tasting 'like new' each time, with a perfectly clean pot, except it's even better, because perked just tastes better; that's why it's worth the extra effort to perk it.This glassware allows you to easily investigate the coffee's progress. Perk it just right, not to fast, not to slow; you can tell precisely what's going on in there. It's easy to run it thought the dish washer each and every day. All the parts hold up well. The plastic top doesn't snap shut like a stainless peculator, but I could care less. It sits on top there just fine, without any fuss. When you are ready for your coffee simply take the peculator parts out carefully with a paper towel to avoid burns, then pour it all in a Thermos or everyone's cup. Who needs a little heating pad from a Brew machine to keep it warm? Those Brew machines waste tons of electricity. Why waste the environment needlessly? Earth has finite resources and and a limited breathable atmosphere, remember.I add a regular paper coffee filter to mine. Simply poke a little damp hole in the center then slide it down around the flute. It works perfect and helps prevent unwanted coffee grinds from getting through. I can't think of a better alternative to this particular Peculator. It's value priced. The resulting coffee tastes as good as any, each and every time. The plastic parts are durable enough to last months of daily use, if not years. My only other recommendation would be a total glassware Pyrex unit, now out of production --- even the perking flute is glass in those units. You would have to purchase one used, however, and be prepared to pay close to a hundred if you aren't patient. Otherwise, this one is simply the best available.
