I love that all the inside parts are made of stainless steel and it makes & keeps coffee HOT. Also like additional feature that you can see level of cups of coffee on outside of percolator.
I have had a few west bend percolators since Grad-school. Only once i strayed getting HB. Never will I do that again. West Bend has over the years improved this model but kept all the simple traditional design and features, and it is easy to care for.
