The 12 cup Old-fashioned Percolator we purchased was something we are glad we found. It's construction is of very high quality materials and should be usable in our household for many years to come. The coffee it makes is great! We rate it A+++++!

I like my hot foods HOT and my cold foods COLD. I can acheive this by making my coffee on a gas stove and letting it perk to my desired strength. I
appreciate the cup markings on the pot to help me make as mny cups as I want each day.
Thanks for a really terrific product!

The percolator is shiny and makes great coffee. THe parts look to be of very good quality. The glass knob on the lid is a screw on and it loosens easily. It can be stored in the refrigerator for iced coffee easily.

This percolator is shiny with a lovely glass knob. I can see the coffee percolating inside the knob. I like that we can keep the percolator in the refrigerator to chill for iced coffee in the summertime. We have a 12 cup and it makes good and aromatic coffee. Be very careful with the glass knob which screws on. It can loosen at times.

Was looking forward to getting this pot,but was disappointed when it came. The quality of this product is not good! The lid does not close properly. The product came all scratched up,as though it may have been used by someone,returned,and then shipped to me. Will NOT use Chefs again!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
