Hamilton Beach 12-c. Percolator, Stainless Steel.
Review by Willism E. Bradford : Good Percolator

This is a very good percolator, makes excellent coffee in minutes. The lid is a little hard to remove to make coffee. I'm on a well system so it's just what I needed.

Review by C. Fowler : great coffee maker

I have owned 3 of them over the past 13 years. We have always been on well water or county water system, therefore, our water has "stuff" in it. The "stuff" is very hard on appliances. A drip coffee maker would last about 6 month in our house. I got tired of replacing them all the time. Another thing I like about a percolator in general is that you don't use filters, so it is more eco-friendly.

Con--- Eventually, they do wear out and I have to get another one.

Review by Upstate Guy : Good Coffee

The Hamilton Beach coffee percolator makes good coffee, better than that made by drip coffee makers, even the best, most expensive kind. The coffee the Hamilton Beach percolator makes is hot, really hot, when first made, and it stays hot, even when I make a large pot of coffee and drink it throughout the day. I like really hot coffee. The Hamilton Beach has a big drawback. The percolator stem doesn't seat well into the heating element in the bottom of the pot. If the percolator stem isn't seated just right in the bottom of the pot, all you get at the end of the coffee-making process is a pot of very hot water, not coffee. I have a smaller, 6 cup Farberware percolator that doesn't have this seating problem. I'm so frustrated with the Hamilton Beach because of the difficulty in seating the percolator stem, I'm thinking of replacing it with a larger Farberware pot.
