PRC-12 Classic 12-Cup Percolator
Product details
Web ID: 4030564A Great Cup of Joe!
I visited my 101 year old aunt recently. She uses a coffee percolator. The coffee tasted so good! So, I bought the Cuisinart 12 cup percolator. It took me a pot or two to get the coffee to H2O ratio to my liking. I love it. The basket requires no filter. I remove the basket when the coffee is done before pouring. I leave it plugged in throughout the morning. Each cup is nice and hot and fresh. Just right. I love the glass top piece so you can see the coffee perking. It simply makes a great cup of Joe!

Consistently Excellent Coffee Can Be Attained
We LOVE great coffee!!! After decades of drinking horrible to good to great coffee, we realized that the BEST coffee came from percolators combined with FRESHLY ground coffee beans. We have a 60-Cup percolator but that is for parties, Thanksgiving, and Christmas get togethers. Also, the drip coffee makers have PLASTIC everything and not only tend to fail but it has come to our attention that PLASTIC leeches into everything and hot water accelerates that process. SO, we searched for the best overall Percolater Coffee Pot that would BREW at least 12 CUPS, had little to NO PLASTIC that touches the coffee. We also liked the clear cap on the top that showed the coffee percolating (I know, it is plastic but it is the only plastic part touching the coffee). The Cuisinart's cool retro look, stainless components, name/reputation, and price point made it a good choice. Combined with freshly ground coffee beans, this percolator produces CONSISTENT excellent tasting HOT coffee! It is an improvement over the percolator coffee pots I grew up with in the 1960s and 70s as those utilized aluminum interior components and like plastic, we avoid aluminum. Finally, it just looks great sitting on the counter and to start it up, you just plug it in, wait a few minutes and voila, fresh hot coffee!

"Percolator needs to percolate longer!"
Liked the coffee pot in general; however, it seemed to me that it needed to/should have perked for a longer period of time. It did not have the rich "brewed aroma." (I did use more than one brand of coffee.)

Morning joy
This perculator reminds menof my parent's coffee maker from the 60's. The sound and smell take me back to waking up and knowing the coffee was brewing. This new one is light weight and sturdy. Delighted we chose this.model and brand.

Ergonomically Designed Coffee Pot
I love the handle and the way this pot pours; it seems specially designed for comfort and ease, plus it's surprisingly light and pours easily. I also appreciate the clear cap on top to show the water perking and color changing.
