Very hot good coffee. The only drawback is the very short cord. A lot if steam expels when percolating and hits my kitchen cabinets which can't be good for them. I've tried to turn the steam away from the cabinets, but I take a chance of being burned by the steam. Other than that, great percolator.
We're on our 4th or 5th coffee percolator because we like our coffee hot and strong--drip coffeemakers just don't do it. This is our 3rd West Bend but won't be our last, because the West Bend models we've used last longer than the others and cost less. Bravo!
this percolator is great, i was always a percolator customer but this pot with a see through window for volume viewing is extremely helpful. this is worth buying for sure...
Good pot. Coffee hot. Tastes good. Gave it 4 stars because it’s so loud when it perks it wakes me up. Had a few percolators and this has never happened before.
Used one while in Texas earlier this year and was so impressed by the taste of the coffee. I bought one soon as I returned home..so much more flavor out of your coffee versus a drip maker..
My in-laws fourty years ago had a percolator that you just put on the stove, it smelled GREAT and taste GREAT. I can’t find one like they used so I knew west bend was a good product and I bought the Electric Percolator! LOVE IT!
