Amazon.com Review: One of the most comforting sounds in the world is the bubbling of a coffee percolator at work. And then comes the toasty aroma--it makes for a perfect morning. Percolators have come back to home kitchens, and the Presto 12-cup stainless steel coffee maker is a prime example. Its elegant, hotel-style design brings a touch of luxury to what is for many a daily pleasure.
This coffee maker brews up to twelve cups of coffee at a cup-a-minute rate, which it then keeps at a constant, piping-hot serving temperature. An indicator light in the base announces when the coffee is ready. The inner fixtures--the filter basket and perk tube--are also made of stainless steel, rather than the more common (and less durable) aluminum. The power cord is removable to make storage simple.
Before cleaning the coffee maker, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Wash the coffee maker with warm, sudsy water and dry it thoroughly; it is not immersible. To preserve the gloss of the stainless steel, do not use steel wool or harsh, abrasive cleansers. The perk spout and filter basket can be cleaned with a brush or pipe cleaner. If necessary, coffee stain remover can be used periodically on the interior surface. The coffee maker measures 10 by 5 by 13 inches (including handle, lid, and spout). Presto guarantees this product with a one-year limited warranty. A simple instruction sheet is enclosed. --Garland Withers

Rating: - Does the job!
This percolator does the job just fine. The only thing I can say negative is that the lid is a little tight when you try to take it off. It is especially difficult when it is hot. Besides that, which isn't much, I really like it.
Rating: - A Couple of Tips
First of all, the reason we bought this is because, in general, percolators make great tasting coffee. They can turn even the worst quality beans into a good cup of coffee. Initially, the Presto lived up to our expectations. And after doing the following, it is once again making great cups of coffee.
Tip #1 - Grind your coffee using the appropriate setting.
After some usage, we would at times get a mouthful of grinds. We realized it was important to use the percolator setting on the coffee grinder at the supermarket. Since then, an occasional coffee grind finds its ... Read More
Rating: - Not as strong as I had hoped
I bought this based on reviews that said the coffee was much stronger than drip grind. I'm sure that it does brew much stronger coffee than many drips, but I had to use more coffee in it and it still did not have the same strong flavor as my Krups did. Brewed VERY hot coffee however, for those who like it to start off that way. Overall, a very good backup pot for me.

Rating: - Love it
I researched forever before buying this coffee maker to replace my old drip machine (which never made tasty coffee, I thought it was just me). This thing had consistently positive reviews and I couldn't be happier. Probably the only thing I miss about my old coffee maker was the auto shut off. At least I never had to worry that I'd go to work without unplugging it. Aside from that, I love the coffee that comes out of this machine, I love that it brews quickly and is ridiculously easy to clean. Everyone that comes to my house is impressed and others are now going to get one too because the coffee just tastes ... Read More
