Review 1 for Cuisinart Coffee Percolator Model PRC-12
We had forgotten what REAL coffee tastes like since we have had automatic coffeemakers for quite a few years. When the last one broke down, (an average of one every two or three years) we decided on a percolator.
After looking at several, we decided on the Cuisinart partly because of Cuisinart quality products and partly because of appearance.
This is a hit in both catagories. The coffee is SO much better than automatic makers and the pot is beautiful.
Very, very satisified

fromMilton. FL
I purchased this coffeepot to make my decaf for the evening hours but it is so easy to use and clean that I also use it in the mornings now. The perking sound brings back good memories of the old stove top percolator. It keeps the coffee hot and freshly brewed for hours.

I like coffee made in a percolator and I like the dependability of Cuisinart. The coffee maker is doing its job, the coffee tastes good, and the percolator looks nice at the same time.

This percolator makes a full- bodied, hot cup of coffee every time. Much better than a drip pot as it makes the best use of the coffee. This may be old fashioned for some, but the taste is perfect and a timeless hit!

Makes great coffee
PostedJuly 3, 2011
Maine44
This percolator makes the best pot of coffee! The unfortunate part is that these percolators do not last that long, on average 4-6 months before the heating element usually burns out. The new "record" was the last one we bought which lasted only 2 weeks. We will have to think twice before buying one again even though we have been using these for years because they DO make a great pot of coffee.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Appearance/ Design /Style, makes great coffee
Cons: Quality, Unreliable, shelf life

Love-it but loose basket lid.
PostedApril 5, 2011
denster
fromBremerton, Wa
The inside diameter of coffee BASKET is a sizeable amount larger than the outside(fitting)diameter of the mating LID to the basket. Suggest increasing outside diameter of LID as to be a snug-fit or even snap-fit into basket. AS of now, the coffee in the basket is forced out under the lid by water pressure into the coffee drink leaving GROUNDS because of loose fit. NOTE do use the proper grind of coffee.
As I recall my Mother always used a Percolator, that I raised out many times. That lid snapped into the basket.
The top cover of pot has taps that allow it to snap-fit onto body of pot.

I knew the moment I saw this item in your catalog,it would replace all of the previous coffee maker I've bought including, Mr. coffee and many other brands that always gave me bitter coffee. When this coffee brews,it remind me of the old days and that wonderful smell of fresh coffee. The unit is very easy to clean.
The one down-side I've found with this product is that it don't keep the brewed coffee hot longer than ten minutes,but when I reheat the coffee in the microwave oven for a few moments, it's just as tasty like it was just brewed.

Very Disappointed

fromHouston Texas
I purchased this percolator because I wanted fresh brewed coffee and not a drip coffee maker, It worked 2 monhts, returned it and was sent a new one and it worked even less time than the first. After 2 duds, I don't want to hassel with getting another one, even though they are willing to replace it for free.
Cuisinart is no longer a brand name that I want to spend a lot of money on.

I don't like this percolater. The Faberware is less expensive and is much nicer to use. Unfortunately when I wanted to order the Faberware it was out of stock so thought I would try the Cuisinart. I am disappointed. I recommend the the Faberware.

had to return percolator

Jeri

This was a great percolator until it decided not to percolate. One morning I plugged it in and nothing. I'm returning my second coffee pot and hoping the third time is better luck. The first one I had lasted 4 months, the second lasted 3 months before it malfunctioned. I didn't damage or expose to any weird electrical surges. Cuisinart is a great name brand, I know they back their products. Thanks so much to Chefs for their customer service and working with me on the exchanges.

She Loves It!

Mandy
fromNorth Carolina
I bought this coffee maker for my parents' 61st anniversary 2 months ago. They have always used a percolator, and refuse to switch to a drip-style pot. As you can imagine, they have purchased quite a few during their marriage, but claim this one is the VERY BEST!!! I must admit that when I visited them and woke up every morning, the aroma was wonderful....
It is quiet, easy to clean, and the flared base makes it very stable. The signal light comes on when the coffee has reached perfection - and it is fast! My mom tells me every time I call, "I just LOVE my new coffee pot!"
