   It worked great while it lasted.! Loved the design and color and that it was all stainless. Unfortunately, the plug attaching to the pot just melted as you can see from pic. My husband took it apart so we could recycle the metal. I’m not sure what to get now.

   Excellent quality and craftsmanship as the percolator is built of sturdy steel. It is capable of making up to 14 cups maximum whereas other percolaters only make 12 cups. There’s an on off switch above the cord which is very handy. This percolator requires no filters which saves additional funds. You simply can’t go wrong with this one. The copper color is a beautiful addition to my kitchen and highly recommended for your family.

   It’s great, the heating is perfect, love the color and the best part is it stays warm for a long time.

   This product was advertised as new and yet the scratches and gouge on the exterior of item indicate prior use. I need the product as I’m without a coffee pot, or I’d return.

   Good while it lasted which was about two months. The prongs on the lid compressed after three days so the lid wouldn’t stay on or perk correctly. Easily fixed by gently bending the prongs out. However, the metal is so weak, it eventually snapped. Plus, the small depression at the bottom is rusting. Overall, I regret not returning this in the first month. It was overpriced too. Very disappointed.

   This unit has a clear hollow knob at the top so you can see the coffee perk. That’s more fun than it sounds like. I fresh grind my beans every morning and I grind my coffee fine to get all that great flavor. I was concerned about this because it does not use filters. Even after I got it when I looked at the basket I thought there was no way I was not going to have a bunch of grounds in my coffee. Just ask my wife, she will tell you that again I was wrong. This thing does a great job. I turn it on and my coffee is done in about 6 minutes. Oh and the filter system built into the thing works. I highly recommend it.

   My partial solutions for filter’s design problems Update: Like so many other people’s complaints about their Euro Cuisine coffee pot, the same problem with the power switch has occurred with mine – it only lasted 4 months! The coffee pot is now dead. One major issue is that the diameter of the hole in the filter’s lid is too large. This causes bubbling hot water to mostly drip down the side of the tube and back into the pot without settling sufficiently into the coffee grounds. In other words, the hot water is not being distributed properly into the coffee grounds. Because of this, if you only want to make two cups (using two standard measures of coffee grounds) as labeled in the pot and filter (which is actually only 4 oz per cups, you can forget about it. When you pour the heated water into a cup, it will be crystal clear because the water misses most of the coffee during percolating. The grounds were mostly dry when only making 2 cups! This is also due to the fact that two traditional measures of ground coffee are not enough to hold the water in place long enough to brew the ground coffee. The water goes right through the grounds. Also, the filter drain slits that are below the coffee grounds are punched too large. I tried different coffee ground sizes. Same problem at any size. However, when I put in 4 measures of coffee grounds, there were enough grounds to at least help hold the water in the filter a bit. However, this means you are stuck having making 16 oz of coffee whether you want to or not. Thus, the manufacturer is incorrectly indicating that you have a choice of making 1 to 4 cups. To help the water remain in the coffee grounds longer instead of draining down the tube because of the oversized center hole, I drilled a stainless steel washer to fit closely around the tube. See my attached photos. This resulted in slightly browner coffee. However, because all of the slits in the filter cup are too large, and thus are allowing the hot water to drain through too quickly, I still have to use at lease 4 traditional measures of coffee grounds along with 2 or 4 cups of water. But, at least I am getting more flavor out of the coffee grounds now. An easy DIY fix for the oversized slits may be to gently tap them down with a thin steel punch. I am thinking about buying paper filters to help hold the hot water in the coffee grounds longer. Depending on the porosity of the paper, I am hoping it will make it possible to brew only 2 cups at a time without having to use 4 scoops of coffee grounds. Using enough coffee grounds for 4 cups is simply an expensive waste of quality coffee beans – unless, of course, you have an immediate need to brew that much coffee. The manufacturer could easily fix the problems by making the center hole and slits smaller. It is amazing they did not notice such obvious errors. It makes me wonder whether the manufacturer even bothered to make 1-4 cups of coffee with it to make sure it works properly before putting it on the market. Also, I noticed that another review indicated that the glass bubbler broke when a man lifted the top – cutting his skin, etc.. The bubbler is about 1/8 thick throughout. The only way I can figure that the bubbler broke in his hand is if someone had dropped it on a tile floor or something – and failed to tell him about it. Otherwise, I see no way at all for such a strong glass bubble to have broken just by lifting the top off. I really like that the bubbler is glass. Most coffee makes use plastic. Also, some reviews indicated the handle broke. There is a screw at the top that holds the handle against the pot. I would suggest making sure it is tight on occasion. I believe that should prevent any problems. Others have indicated their pot quit heating. I suspect someone forgot to unplug it a few times. A dry pot with the power turned on will cause overheating, which will obviously stress the heating coil. Easy to forget. Manufacturers should be required to install a fuse or breaker switch. The pot is beautiful. If the manufacturer figures out the problems associated with oversize holes, and also installs a fuse or breaker, this pot will be a keeper, and will make a great gift.

   First off, why do they keep putting these ridiculously sticky stickers on our products?! I ain’t got time for this. Plus I had to use up a ton of my lemon essential oil to get all the goo off. Mine also came with a very visible scratch, but it’s not a deal breaker. This is my first experience with a percolator. I’ve made both coffee and tea in it. For some reason occasionally the liquid spews out of the spout while it’s percolating. I’ve tried putting less liquid in even though it’s not over the max and that seems to help. Coffee grounds will get all up in there even with course ground. I’ve started using a regular paper coffee filter wrapping the coffee up securely and pressing as far down in the basket as possible. It works fine, but I wish there was some kind of reusable option. Both the tea and coffee taste great, so I’m happy. Plus I’m glad there is no plastic that touches my drink. Update: I’m really enjoying my percolator now that I’ve got the hang of it. I now use two coffee filters instead of one with about two heaping tablespoons of ground coffee in each filter wrapped up. I never have any grounds in my coffee. I now use a little over four 8 oz cups of cool filtered water poured over the grounds and there is no spewing out anymore. I found cleaning occasionally with baking soda and gentle scrubbing works well to get the burnt coffee up. I still wish it came with a reusable filter.

   Makes the best coffee! Why did people ever stop using percolators?? I got the 4 cup pot and it makes coffee in no time. It’s a great size for my kitchen

   

10. Yana Verified Buyer – 27 October 2024

    Absolutely “1☆” to seller. Next day after I was supost to receive pot, I received message that they will inform me when they “decide” to send me my order. Two days later, after I canselled my order , I received message that my order on the way. And 2 more days later, after I received pot… it’s looks absolutely different from original picture. Looks like light brown, close not almost red, as on picture. Pot looks close not so pretty as on picture. I will send back P.S. Plus I just founded, looks like it’s not the new: cord bag was opened, dry spots from dirty water and brown line on water pipe. Pictures included.

    

11. DH Verified Buyer – 15 December 2024

    This is a great coffee percolator, I like the way it looks and works. They need to make some wrap filters to fit the larger ground basket. I was not able to find any filters big enough to cover the 8 Cup large ground basket. Con: The stem base is round being the only fall back as it tips over easily when trying to work with the basket outside of the pot and leans over in the pot when trying to align the basket hole up it is harder to get the basket on the stem. Other than that this is a good quality item!!

    How freaking ridiculous, this did not even BREW ANYTHING! Only plain hot water. I tried three times. It’s like water straw doesn’t fit pot and literally nothing brewed. This is garbage. Pure udderly garbage.

    

13. Lynne Harmon Verified Buyer – 24 January 2025

    Flower pot 😤

    

14. Retha Saathoff Verified Buyer – 27 January 2025

    I’m just a little confused about the filter, it loses a lot of coffee grounds into the coffee.

    

15. GeDe Verified Buyer – 1 February 2025

    Yep so far so good. Easy to use, my cafe du monde coffee taste so fresh and smooth. Stays hot until you turn off. The pot seems a bit heavy for such a small size but no worries.
    

16. Sunny Verified Buyer – 8 February 2025

    Love it – but the label ruins it. Manufacturing needs to fix this ASAP.

    

17. Anonymous Verified Buyer – 13 February 2025

    I am a BIG fan of percolators! I was in need of a new one & my ‘favorite’ one was not available, so I took a chance on this one. I’m SO glad I did! #1 – the ‘glass’ top really is GLASS! Not plastic like all the others. #2 – It has a 3-prong plug – both to the unit and to the wall. Most others have 2. #3 – It has an on/off switch. Nice feature! #4 – It says 12 cup capacity, so imagine my surprise to find out that it’s actually more like a 14-15 cup! (Although you can do just 12!) #5 – The pour spout is practically non-drip! Even my hubby (who ALWAYS manages to drip coffee everywhere when he pours) is amazed. The only “annoying” thing I can say about this percolator is the ‘bubbling’ noise it makes once it’s finished perking. But you get used to it. The finish is very nice! Wipes off easily and fits in nicely with my ‘retro’ kitchen (translation: rather old-fashioned!) I’ve had percolators for the last 7 years and this one is by far the best! I bought it on sale but would pay full price to replace it – when I have to! (They just don’t make ’em like they used to!) 🙂

    I love having a percolator. I use the paper filters with my coffee, but my friend who also purchased one doesn’t. We both like the quality of the coffee. I had to experiment with the amount of coffee needed for the strength I wanted. It will perc only a certain amount of time until it is done unlike the old days when we had to set a timer or watch it and it might keep going. I like the tase of the coffee from this machine and it gets done relatively quickly compared to some drip coffee makers I have used.

    It’s pretty , but expensive to not last very long.. rusted inside. Switch went out

    

20. MARY ELLEN Verified Buyer – 2 March 2025

    Got tired of the Keurig not getting hot enough and the price. Decided to go back to the old school way of making coffee. I really like the color. The coffee maker works great and gets hot. The only problem is the coffee grinds sometimes get in the coffee. I guess I could buy a filter and try it

    

21. cwb100 Verified Buyer – 3 March 2025

    I love this little coffee percolater. It is so quiet, easy to clean and makes a really good cup of coffee.

    

22. AJ Verified Buyer – 26 March 2025

    I am so pleased with this beautiful and easy to use coffee pot. My mom really likes it. Wish I could give it 10 stars.

    

23. Ikey Verified Buyer – 6 April 2025

    Love It. No more Drip, drip, drip……

    

24. Pawl Verified Buyer – 8 April 2025

    Percolators need a larger grind coffee to brew correctly this particular pot also benefits from a paper disk filter in the bottom of the grounds filter. Quickly perks about 20 ounces of perfect coffee ☕️ and the best part is that I set it up the night before. Alexa turns it on as part of my alarm routine so that “The coffee is ready” is announced after the time, date, and daily weather forecast. It’s a great way to start the day when going back to sleep isn’t an option.😴 I get my coffee and reset it for my wife’s morning routine, if you share the same schedule you might want the one of the larger pots to share. ☕️ ☕️

    

25. Michelle L. Steffen Verified Buyer – 8 April 2025

    I was excited to begin using this coffee pot, and it worked fine for awhile. Takes 6-7minutes to brew. In the last few weeks, it has begun randomly squirting coffee out of the spout while brewing. Hot coffee squirts onto the counter and 2-3 feet across the floor. Not only is this annoying, but very dangerous, especially for kids or pets who might get hit with scalding hot coffee. I read it is too late for me to return this defective item. I want a refund.

    Unable to clean the interior base from scorch marks. Pot doesn’t keep coffee warm shortly after brew is completed.
