Product Description
Cuisinart brings its coffee-making expertise to the 12-Cup model of their classic stainless steel percolator. Piping hot water percolates through the grounds, and pulses up into the knob on top to create the familiar "perk-perk" sound that coffee lovers wait to hear. A detachable cord and stay-cool bottom lets this percolator go anywhere to serve, and it only needs to be plugged in to keep it hot.

Update- we have made Starbucks veranda, pikes peak and Tim Hortons, and all tasted better than drip. I have been using the marks in the basket for cups of coffee and it’s been working great! We started getting more grounds in coffee if going above the 12 cup mark for coffee basket. I did use the disc filters at bottom of basket, and if I used more than 12 I put another filter on top of the grounds and this reduced the grounds in coffee. The issue I see is because it perks fast it fills the basket and grounds come out the top of basket. There are really not a lot of grounds without doing this. I also use a blue scrub pad on inside of the pot where the percolator pipe sits, it’s an easy clean. To be honest I clean this better than the drip and feel better about it. I am super happy with it. Getting rid of plastics makes me feel much better. I still can’t believe how quick it works.
This coffee-pot makes a great cup of coffee, is easy to clean, super-fast, and works perfectly. Until it doesn't.
I have a Farberware electric pot that was made in the early 60's, and had to pull it out of retirement today when my 8 month old Cuisinart percolator failed to start this morning, it lit up like a champ telling me my Kennedy-Era brew was ready in about 10 minutes.
I've used this Cuisinart pot every day now for 8 months, and was extremely satisfied with all aspects of its brewing, however, if it's only good for 8 months of daily use (1-pot/day) then it's actually a pretty terrible product, for the price.
I'm going to buy a new Farberware electric pot next, and see if I have any better luck with it.

Returned. Amazon brilliantly gave me a full refund and free return shipping. Thank goodness I bought it through them.
Ojo no tiene boton de apagado asi que no puedes olvidar desconectarla.
cada mes tengo que hacerle un lavado profundo a la canasta para destaparle los hoyitos
Una vez desconectada el cafe se enfria rapido
aun asi es mi cafetera favorita
