18 Years Strong — Only Replaced Because I Broke It
on October 4, 2026
Posted by: Percolator Joe
Gender:Male
I've had this product for years and have been very happy with it. I really appreciate the stainless steel construction and the simple, durable design. The small aluminum heating element at the bottom is understandable and, in my view, not a concern at all.
Presto makes a strong, durable, and good-looking product here. It’s easy to clean, makes great coffee, and gives me more peace of mind than many more complicated coffee makers with plastic reservoirs, tubing, and other hard-to-clean internal parts. I also like not having to worry as much about issues such as mold buildup, BPA-containing plastics, or unnecessary material exposure from the brewing components.
Overall, it’s a simple, reliable coffee maker that does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and I would gladly buy it again. I replaced mine after 18 years and only because I accidentally broke it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

it brews quickly and efficiently, coffee tastes great. No grounds noted in the coffee pot or the coffee. Easy clean up, I like it.

Does this still have aluminum in the construction?
on April 26, 2026
Posted by: Frances B.
Gender:Female
I SEARCHED FOR A COFFEE POT WITHOUT PLASTIC, found this, and love the coffee I've been making. However, I did not know that aluminum is used in this pot. I will have to now replace IT. I am so very disappointed. I absolutely love the way my coffee tastes but avoid aluminum in my kitchen. UNLESS YOU TELL ME IT ISN'T IN THERE ANYMORE??

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.

Poor design limits the usefulness
on December 19, 2025

We purchased this 12 cup Presto electric percolator 2 weeks ago to replace our 12 cup Farberware electric percolator, which finally died after 6 years of almost daily use. The Presto pot works well if you want to make 2-6 cups of coffee, but anything more than that results in grounds flowing over the basket and into the pot of coffee. We initially tried making 12 cups, then 10, without a filter since the perforations at the bottom of the basket are tiny and we felt that would provide enough filtering. We also tried using the provided wrap around filters but were still limited to 6 cups at most. The basket is shallow and the perforations in the bottom do not allow for the heated water to drain quickly enough.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
