Know before you buy
No, this model features a permanent, filter-free design. You can brew your coffee directly in the stainless steel basket, which simplifies cleanup and reduces waste.
Thanks to the 1000-watt heating element, this percolator is designed for fast brewing. While exact times vary based on water temperature, it typically brews a full 12-cup pot in about 10 to 12 minutes.
No, this model does not have an automatic shut-off feature. It is equipped with an automatic keep-warm function that maintains the coffee's temperature until you manually unplug the unit.
Yes, the power cord is detachable. This makes it easy to carry the percolator to your dining table or coffee station without the cord getting in the way.
Yes, you can brew smaller amounts, but for the best results, we recommend brewing at least 4 cups. Percolators work by cycling water through the grounds, so a minimum volume is needed to ensure proper extraction.
The main percolator body should be hand-washed to protect the internal electrical components. The internal basket and pump tube are typically dishwasher safe, but always check the manual for specific care instructions.
