I have been looking for a simple, good old fashioned coffee pot that boils on the stovetop. When I saw this online, I read the reviews and immediately placed an order. I am very happy with this pot and love the coffee it makes. I got so tired of all the standard drip coffee makers and was no longer happy with the way the coffee tasted. This is now my one and only coffee pot and it is definately worth the money. Thank for Chefs for carrying this old-fashioned percolator.
Pros: easy to use, capacity, Easy to Clean/Wash, quality

I had this product for several weeks, I wanted to make sure that this product is different from the electric ones. As a southern young lady, i am use to smelling and tasting good brewed coffee in the morning and I must add, this is the one. I have use all kinds of brand electric perculators, as always, it starts off making good coffee,however, it never fails, after a year, the coffee gets weak and then the perculator goes out. One thing I can say, this perculator makes very good coffee and you don't waste alot of coffee like you do with an electric one to get that coffee taste. You will be hearing from me after a year, then I can give you more of a honest review.
Pros: easy to use, Performs Well, Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, Appearance/ Design /Style, Functional/Useful

Makes delicious coffee. It's 18/8 instead of 18/10 stainless steel, but I'm not sure what difference that makes...I just have been told to buy 18/10.
Takes a total of about 20 minutes, but worth the wait.

I used to watch my Mom make coffee with the perculator and loved how the smell would permeate through out the entire house. I had percolators in colllege and up until recently when I decided to go with the drip coffee maker.
I am happy to have the old fashioned perculator back and the coffee is just as hot and flavorful as I remembered it.
The only thing I do not like about the product is that the lid is permanently attached tothe canister. I am afraid that in a rush I will accidentally bend the lid too far back while cleaning it and snap it off.
Other than that the few more minutes of time it takes for the coffee to reach the boiling point and begin to brew is worth it. I always prefer piping hot coffee over the fire rather than placing a fresh cup of drip coffee in the microwave to reach the desire temperature.

Solved my problem

Pogey

Just purchased an old fashioned percolator because I have gone through three electric percolators in the last 2 years and have not been satisfied with their longevity and performance. They eventually produced coffee that was lukewarm and weak.
Now, I have the perfect answer. Heat it up on the stove or in the RV and have it as hot and as strong as you want it. No plugs, no elements to worry about. This pot is stainless steel, has a good solid handle, an easy to work lid hinge, and most of all a glass knob that will not crack and discolor as plastic does. I am very pleased. It makes 12 cups of coffee and is plenty for all.

If you like coffee this is the only way to make it. This pot is all you need to make the best tasting coffee you ever had. It's made of excellent material, east to use inside or out, on the stove or on a grille. We have a 4 cupper to travel with and a 9 cupper for the house. We love them.

fromLH, CAlifornia
I have tried everything and ultimately do like a perculator type maker for good coffee. This simple pot makes great coffee, since I really like to taste my coffee flavors,. I wish I would have purchased a larger pot, I got the 9 cup. If you fill the water to the 9 cup line, once it starts to perk, it does spit out, so it is better to fill to 8 cups.

This product is just what I've been looking for. I bought it for my husband for Fathers Day because we both love percolated coffee but we camped last weekend and I couldn't wait. We had an old fashioned glass one years ago and it made the best coffee but ended up getting broke so I decided to try and get another percolator coffee pot because the drip pots, although quick, don't make as good of coffee. There is a little more of a wait, (have to get it boiling), but worth it. Heavy duty, good quality, nice looking.

This is one quality percolator. It is totally stainless steel (love that).The wooden handle never gets heated, nor dose the rest of the metal handle which is riveted to the pot. It is very easy to handle even with a full pot of hot coffee.

Makes A Great Cup of Coffee

This stainless steel percolator makes a delicious cup of coffee. Hot and perfectly brewed. I have a 10-cup Pyrex glass percolator inhereted from my mother-in-law and was glad to see a small stainless steel version available. So pleased with it and have been using every day. It's nice to know how to do things without electricity, just in case.
Purchased the 3-cup percolator after my small Krupps coffee maker carafe smashed on the floor (again). The carafe is no longer available.
Thanks for making this item available.

A high quality utensil that makes good coffee just the way it is supposed to. Heavy stainless that won't dent or look abused after considerable wear. Handle could use some redesign but not a problem.

This coffee pot is the best one we have found so far. All the others were not stainless steel and the inside parts were very cheaply made. This one is holding up great. It perks quickly so you have to watch it or the coffee gets over done. So far we are very pleased.
