Makes great coffee...percolating really brings out the flavor of the coffee. The fill line indicator is highly visible. The enclosed brochure even told me how to remove the lid easily. (percolator has a tight fitting lid). Light comes on when brewing is complete and stays on till you unplug the pot. I have weak hands and the handle on this pot makes it easy for me to pour and keep control. Like everything about this coffee pot and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
I bought one of these in 2009, when I went overseas helping the troops. I had it with me in every camp I was assigned to. It was light, unbreakable, and fit in any duffle or backpack. Hotter coffee than a drip, for sure. As long as I kept a mind to unplug when done it was safe (didn't have a timer). Didn't start slowing down until about 2015'ish. Best hot coffee, every day.
I love this little pot. Its been a consistent little work horse for me in the mornings. The coffee tastes amazing and its small enough that I take it on my business trips. I highly recommend this coffee maker
