I like this percolator. The cord detaches, it has an on/off switch, it has a blue light "on" indicator when the coffee has finished brewing and is set to warm. The basket and insides are metal and basket comes out to clean and fill later. Makes decent coffee. Brews up in about 8-10 minutes. I use 3 or 4 heaping tablespoons of coffe for a half pot. It has water markings on the inside so you know how much water to put in. We are trying to get away from micro-plastics for cooking, storage, etc.. the only thing on this that is plastic is the handle and outer base. There was no plastic smell when we first used it. I ran the first two brewing cycles with only water, no coffee. After that, when we brewed actual coffee it turned out pretty good.

I absolutely love my Mixpresso Percolator Coffee Pot! It does exactly what it promises—brews hot, flavorful coffee quickly and efficiently. The shiny blue stainless steel design looks great in my kitchen, and the keep-warm function ensures my coffee stays at the perfect temperature.A full pot takes about 12 minutes, while 8 cups finish in around 8 minutes, which is great when I need my morning coffee fast. The coffee tastes rich and smooth, and I appreciate that it’s easy to use and clean. No issues whatsoever—just a reliable, stylish, and effective coffee maker. If you love percolated coffee, this is a must-have!

Muy buena opcion

This is perfect for me since I’m the only coffee drinker in the house. It makes up to six cups of coffee. It has taken a little while to figure out the exact recipe, especially because I like strong coffee. I use 4 coffee scoops for 4 cups, etc. Sometimes, the grounds overflow the basket, not sure why. It perks and is ready in very little time and makes a good cup of coffee. It’s best to let it sit a few minutes to allow the water in the basket to fully drain. It checks all the boxes - no plastic, except for the clear knob in the top, brews quickly, and coffee is strong.

I'm sad to have to write this review, but consumers need to know. For the first year, I loved my Mixpresso percolator. It made rich, flavorful coffee. One morning, however, the pot kept percolating, faster and faster. I stood there to watch it, and I'm so glad I did. I soon realized I was smelling something burning. Smoke was coming out of the plug! I unplugged it in a hurry and felt I was lucky that I had been watching it, or else there would have been a fire. I contacted MIxpresso, and they showed no interest at all in my percolator. The company declined to replace it because it was ONE MONTH past the one-year warranty period. I pointed out that there must have been a manufacturing defect, but I got no further reply. At this point, I don't even want a brand-new replacement because I think it would be dangerous. So before you buy this product, be aware!

Sehr guter Kauf, sind sehr zufrieden damit

when I buy something from a german site, I expect it to be very clear that the plugs are american. I would not have ordered this item elsevise. That can work with a converter - so not to much of a problem.Unfortunately the very expensive coffee percolator leaked through the bottom of the kettle down through the electronics. I haven't really anything good to say. Maybe I was unlucky and just got the one kettle that was faulty. I've returned it and waiting for a refund. It was beautiful and the coffee i made before I discovered the leakage tasted nice.

Tiene el tamaño perfecto para familia pequeña o regular, el café está listo en menos de cinco minutos! Además de que tiene un color hermoso que le da un toque de luz a la cocina!

I returned this item as it is made for the USA market and requires a 120V power supply. A great pity as it is very well made and would have been an excellent accessory to the kitchen appliances.

My Hamilton Beach percolator died after almost 2 years. This seems to be the life span for most coffee brewers of any style. Sad, but I've come to accept it. Hamilton Beach discontinued the model I had so I needed to look for another one.This one caught my eye because it has the beautiful retro look that I love. Very simple and classic. I was worried that it was a re-branded version of the Bialetti model that came out a few years ago that was just awful. If this is the same parent company, they made some definite improvements.Yes, the perk knob is GLASS. It's a thicker glass so I can see why people would think it might be plastic. You want a heavier glass so it doesn't break as easily. Still, because it is glass and the lid pulls off instead of twists off like other percolator, I recommend letting the pot cool completely before yanking on the glass top to remove the lid.Coffee snobs always say that percolators make the worst coffee. Coffee, like anything, is a matter of taste. It also depends on how you use the brew method of your choice. The biggest gripe is percolators "boil the coffee". This can certainly be true if using a stovetop percolator and you're not paying attention and have the heat up too high. It was also true of vintage percolators which - although nice to look at - had a much higher temperature thermostat. According to most coffee "experts", coffee should be brewed at between 197F and 205F. Every time I get a new percolator I take the temp of the water. This registered at 203F. Perfect. If you complain this makes "lukewarm" coffee, than you should get a stovetop model where you control the temp. The makers of this percolator set it within the proper range so as not to over extract the coffee and make a burnt/bitter cup.You'll really want to buy whole bean coffee and grind it to a coarse grind using a burr grinder.. not a blade grinder. I bought an inexpensive Cuisinart one a few months back and it does a great job. If you buy pre-ground coffee, not only is it far less fresh (diminishing the taste) but it is ground for drip brewers that pass the water through much faster - when a percolator brews more slowly. You'll end up with something that tastes a bit like battery acid. But then again, some people love it. It's a matter of taste. Because this has a bit longer brew cycle than my Hamilton Beach did - 6 minutes once it started perking for 4 cups (brew time is usually 6-8 minutes for a stovetop model depending on taste), I adjusted the coarseness setting on my burr grinder to make it one setting more coarse to compensate for the longer brew time. Worked great. Seriously, get a decent burr grinder and experiment with grind size. It gives you a lot more control over the flavor of your coffee.Use a paper filer. Always. Again, it's up to your taste and some die hard fans refuse to use a filter. More power to them. A good paper filter (especially the wrap/envelope style) not only keep all the grounds in the basket, but make for a smoother cup of coffee. This is true of all brew methods. It's my recommendation. I get the wrap filters at any local grocery store.My only complaint is the plug. It doesn't use a standard percolator plug. The part that goes into the base of the unit is like the female end of a typical outlet rather than the rounder plugs of most percolators. It's also made of heavy rubber. What this means is it's harder to get on and off the pot... and when you have to remove the plug after each use for cleaning, I worry it will wear down in time. Maybe not. Still, I would have preferred a traditional hard plastic connector that easily slid on and off the pot.It made a very smooth cup of coffee this morning. Overall I'm very impressed. Brews well and is quite nice to look at - and satisfying to watch brew (any percolator I use MUST have the glass knob.. I'll never tire of watching the water percolator in the bubble).The only thing yet to determine is how long it will actually last. Fingers crossed it lasts me a long time, because so far I really love this coffee pot!
