Very very good unit (except for the plastic top} After 2 years it broke so i drilled the plastic top with a 1/4 20 hole & put a washer in side. stronger than ever.even looks good.so far so good after 2 years
I would like to echo the sentiments of the other reviewers. Problem is, it just isn't sturdy enough. This pot is excellent, except for the plastic top. The lid is extremely tight and requires using the platic handle to remove it. Very disappointing. After reading the other reviews, I've decided not to order a replacement part and chalk this up as a bad purchase.
Coffee just seems to taste better when percolated rather than "dripped". Also, serves a hotter cup of coffee - which I prefer. I'll probably never go back to drip. I have tried other types of percolators and this one makes the best tasting coffee.
Good product that does not seem to be available in stores anymore. Great online price. Fast delivery. Overall a simple, fast, inexpensive online shopping esperience.
I prefer the old 450 watt percolators that really brew the coffee for 15-20 minutes. It does look very nice but, like all the new percolator manufacturers, they seem to be concerned only with making a pot of coffee FAST rather than really brewing the coffee.
I thought for such a good price ($16) I would just replace the plastic perk top from the get go with a glass one. I bought this even with all the bad reviews about the top.
Guess I'll use it awhile only while watching it, and if the plastic breaks I'll just ream out the hole to be able to get a replacement glass perk top into it. Well, this one is not made so that the perk top can be unscrewed; it has to be broken off of the top.
Also, the hole it leaves in the top is too small for the "fitz-all" replacement perk tops. That's why the new ones are 1000 watts.
Anyway, that's my take on this product.
