Won't be doing business with you ever. You lied to me that everything is stainless steel. Heating element is made of aluminium. I value my health so I will look for a better coffee maker.

Terrible filter design
It makes fine coffee but the wraparound filters just plain stupid, They are awkward and a PITA to use. Every other percolator I have ever used uses either no filter or the simple round filters. If you use a round filter you get sludge. I've kept it too long to return it so I'm either going to donate it or put it in a garage sale.

We're glad you like the coffee! Try adding another round (disc) filter over the top of the grounds to help prevent them going into the coffee. We feel the wraparound filters work best to contain the grounds but discs are helpful as well.
Safer coffee pot!
I am not using anything plastic or aluminum in my cooking processes anymore so I love this stainless steel percolator. Works great!

Dont buy
I bought this percolator 1 month ago and it’s very unstable for the coffe quality. Often too clear. Put more coffee and stay too pale.

Weak coffee can be caused by the perk tube not seated properly in the perk well. It can also be caused by a build-up of oils and grounds in the percolator. Wash and rinse the inside of your coffee maker, cover and basket assembly with warm, soapy water after each use. The perk tube, including the washer (which needs to spin freely), and spout can be cleaned with a brush. CAUTION! To prevent electrical shock and damage to your coffee maker, do not immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid or allow the plug receptacle or base to get wet. Wipe the outside surface with a damp cloth and thoroughly drop with a towel. It is IMPORTANT to keep the plug receptacle area dry. If you notice any moisture, dry thoroughly before use. To keep your coffee maker functioning properly, periodically remove oil, stains, and any sediment from the inside of the coffee maker. To clean, add water up to the 6-cup mark. Then prepare the coffee maker as you would for making a full pot of coffee, expect add 2 tablespoons of dry automatic dishwashing detergent to the basket in place of the coffee and do not use a disposable filter. Once the signal light illuminates, allow the coffee maker to remain plugged in for 15 to 20 minutes. Unplug the coffee maker, pour out the cleaning solution and then rinse the inside of the coffee maker and the parts with running water. Fill the coffee maker with fresh water up to the 6 mark and perk again. Pour out the water and thoroughly rinse the inside of the coffee maker and the parts. Depending on the severity of the staining, it may be necessary to repeat this cleaning procedure. If, after you have tried this cleaning solution, you are still getting weak coffee, please contact our Customer Service Department by phone 1-800-877-0441. We are available Monday-Friday 8:00am - 4:00pm Central Time.

That's a great idea for your office. Works great for a '1 coffee drinker' household too. :) Thanks for your review!
WONDERFUL ADDITION TO MY KITCHEN
I remember a coffee maker like this one in my grandma's kitchen. I knew its the best tool every morning. I love the quality and temperature of my drink. What a difference! I will never go back to another brand.
Has Aluminum on the inside bottom of the pot
Beware, if you’re looking for a pot with no aluminum, this coffee pot has aluminum in the bottom which comes in contact with your coffee and is directly heated. I ordered it only to find out it was not as described. It is NOT a solid stainless steel pot, only the sides. I requested that Macy’s make that disclosure in their description so that others aren’t deceived. I’m two hours from the nearest Macy’s, so I’ll have to wait for a credit to my card. Macy’s is aware of the issue, I hope they fix the description. And to Presto, you degrade your reputation by omission of ALL the facts to your product. Very deliberate and misleading information. You knew when you wrote the description that omitting aluminum would lead people to buy it. We are trying to get away from toxic plastic and aluminum exposure, and you very well know all that’s being said about aluminum exposure, especially when it’s further exposed to heat. Shame on you! Change your product and care about your consumers.
Response from Macy's
Thank you for your feedback. This coffee pot has a stainless-steel basket and perk tube inside. The only part that is not stainless steel is the perk well at the bottom of the pot. The omission of this information is not intentional; we do not purposefully mislead our customers and are sorry you feel this way. If you wish to discuss this further, please call our Customer Service Team at 1-800-877-044, Monday-Friday 8:00am – 4:00pm Central Time.
