 never settle for dull coffee again Apr 14, 2010
My Husband and I have went through every coffee maker every percolator that you can think of after Years of so so coffee and drip coffee makers not holding up to there end My Husband and I went back to the basic's and we LOVE IT... (no it does not have a timer to make it's self. you have to do it your self Imagine that concept) It Has No parts to brake no worries if it will start or how hot it will be. what you see is what you get. It is very Durable and easy to clean... Best coffee pot We have ever owned....
Use without the "Perk" device for the best coffee! Mar 15, 2010
Percolater coffee is the worst coffee in the world if you really understand how coffee should be brewed. This device is awesome and will make the best coffee you have ever had if you make some simple adjustments. Fill it with water and DO NOT USE THE PERCOLATOR INSERTS AT ALL!! Just bring the water to a boil and once it boils REMOVE FROM THE HEAT and add your fresh, finely ground coffee. Stir it once or twice and you can either let it sit for 4 to 5 minutes and let the grounds settle then pour, or you can do what I do and immediately after putting in the grounds and stirring place it back on the heat on VERY LOW...DO NOT BRING BACK TO A BOIL! THAT IS WHAT CREATES A BITTER BREW AND IS WHY PERCOLATED COFFEE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORSE IF ALLOWED TO PERK! Let it sit on the low heat for 4 to 5 minutes then pour into cups using a fine mesh strainer. YOU WILL HAVE NEVER TASTED BETTER COFFEE, and for everyone out there who loves the French Press method, as I do, but hate coffee that is not hot enough...you will love this because the coffe is awesome hot and has not sat for 4 to 5 minutes "cooling off" like with French Press. Also, you can add sugar or cinnamon to the water while it boils, that makes it really good for those who like their coffee sweetened...excellent!! This is basically taking the old fashioned "stove-top saucepan coffee" or "cowboy coffee" to a new level. Plus, it is much easier and basically uses the same principles as the French Press method but keeps it hotter. Also, if you want a second cup after awhile and some is left you can just turn on the flame and warm it back up...much better then nuking it in the microwave! Even though the grounds are in the water it really does not turn bitter. Try it.

 poor quality Mar 12, 2010
my wife wanted this coffee pot because it looks old fashioned.
when she washed it the glass top broke.
the pot was expensive but not worth the money.
probably made in china
 Great Pot, Bad Basket! Mar 11, 2010
The basket stem broke after about two months. from the beginning, we had to use rubber bands to keep the lid on the basket from popping off.
Also, the pot gets very hot and hasn't an insulated handle, so you will need a pot holder to pour it.
Other than that, it's satisfactory.
Favorite camp coffee-pot! Feb 07, 2010
Great little coffee-maker. I sent this one to my son who's stationed in Afghanistan. He and his buddies like a good strong cup of "Joe" so I send Starbucks coffee every few weeks so they can make their own brew while out in the field. So this tough little coffee pot is over there helping the war effort by giving our guys a taste of home. (Government-issued coffee just doesn't make it!)
