Editorial Review:
Percolated coffee is an acquired taste, but for those who like it strong and black, this stovetop coffee pot is the way to go. The percolator's polished stainless steel exterior and stepped base give it a vintage look and its brewing methods are strictly old school; however, its construction is completely up to date. Water pours into the bottom of the pot and the pump tube with the filter basket goes in next. Coffee drinkers add their grinds to the filter basket and then place the cover over the basket. Once the lid is tightly secured, the percolator can be put on a gas or electric heat source for brewing. When the water boils, it travels up the pump tube and through the grounds and the familiar sloshing of brown liquid in the lid's transparent plastic knob signifies that percolation has begun. After about 5 to 7 minutes of percolating, coffee is ready for drinking. This pot brews about 4 to 8 cups of coffee and a handy water level indicator etched into the side ensures that brewers add the appropriate amount of water for their grinds. For safety, the plastic handle stays cool over a hot burner and the spout provides dripless pouring. --Cristina Vaamonde

Great Product:
I recommend this percolator to any coffee or tea drinker. I bought this because I do not have the counter space any longer for a coffee maker. i also don't drink but a cup or two of coffee a day and I didn't have a need for a large coffee maker. But I am also an avid tea drinker. So I wanted to get something that could double as a teapot. This percolator was just the perfect product. First off, it boils the water, and you don't get that from a coffee pot. By boiling, not only does it make the flavor of the... more info
Comparative review: percolator, espresso maker, & French press:
I took my percolator out of dry dock to see whether I could use it to make coffee comparable to espresso or French press, which have been my methods of choice for making coffee. Drip coffee has never been in the running at our house. I ran a comparative taste using my stovetop espresso maker, French press, and Copco percolator. I used Medaglia d'Oro espresso coffee in each coffee maker. My stovetop espresso maker (or "machinetta") is a "6-cup," which actually makes 9 ounces, or one barely... more info
Copco Percolator:
At first we were disappointed with this coffee pot because the second time we used it the lid fell off while pouring hot coffee, but after we adjusted the prongs holding the lid in place, we've never had that problem again. It makes a delicious cup of coffe, and best of all we no longer have another electric appliance cluttering up our limited kitchen counter space. My only complaint is that the cup markings on the outside of the pot are useless because they do not show up on the inside of the pot where it... more info
Now this makes good coffee:
Been looking for "old fashioned" coffee percolator for long time. This is great with exception of plastic dome. Fortunately, I purchased replacement "glass" domes and they work beautifully with this pot. Best coffee I've made and had to enjoy in years.
