This is the best percolator since my 2008 & 2010 Cuisinart ones that I loved so much & used extra for tea as I was doing catering & cooking classes at the time. But I burned through those & was just making it on stove- but then needed 1 fast because I could no longer do that due to a stroke & nerve damage. I looked at the CRAZY prices of all of the percolators out there & then found this. It was an unused open box special & so I tried it because of the low price & it being ALL stainless steel. It brews an amazing cup of coffee & it is still great cold or reheated! It takes about 10-12min to fully brew and the base stays hot for 2.5hrs afterwards. The blue light shows when ready & it has a red light to show brewing. The inside of percolator is marked from 4 cups to 12 cups on the inside by the handle & so is the basket to ensure the right base amount standard pre-ground coffee from store. Im super stingy with my 5 stars & this definitely makes the cut!! I found if I wait about 3min after the blue light comes on then the whole pot is a little stronger. But if I pour right away I get an okay cup and the rest is much stronger. Also if you grind the coffee beans at time of brewing then you can reduce the amount of grounds by a few teaspoons too! The different strengths of beans and various roasts can be adjusted too. But I do recommend each time a new bean style/flavor is bought to stick with their basic markings before adjusting to taste! đź‘ŤI also purchased the filters for it and they were $6 for 350. Those keep the holes from becoming clogged & having to spend time cleaning out the basket. Those actually save how much grounds I need to put in because you get a better brew. The filters are also nontoxic & non bleached plus fully compostable! Highly recommended for those who have disabilities or are on the go a lot! The filters is pre cut & half the thickness of a coffee filter- they work best if you rinse the basket out well & then place directly into the wet basket! Let the filter absorb the water in the basket for about 3seconds & then add your coffee or tea leaves; then drop the basket into pot with pole inside.

Don’t waste your time buying something that has repeated problems that can hurt someone! I am no longer a fan of this brand or their customer service! This morning while brewing a pot of coffee, the clear knob on the lid blew off of the pot and hot coffee was spraying on my upper cabinets and wall. I’m lucky that no one was burned by the coffee spraying out! I called customer service who could only offer replacement parts. I Informed the customer service rep that I would not trust replacement parts or another coffee pot from Elite Gourmet after reading countless reviews of the same issue. I simply wanted my money back. I was told that they can’t offer a refund. I then asked to speak to her supervisor and I was told that she didn’t have one! The rep told me she would e mail me a form to fill out. That was the best she could do. I loved my coffee pot until this happened. Not only did I buy mine, purchased two others as gifts and I’ve told several other friends about my percolator, and sent them the link so they could also enjoy the same coffee experience. I after this experience, I will buy myself a West Bend Coffee Pot and move on!

I have gone from drip, to Keurig, to drip and now back to the percolator my parents used to use. I am loving it! The coffee comes out hotter than any coffee maker I have ever owned. It's also smoother in taste. I am using the same exact coffee grounds I had been using in the drip coffee maker and in the Koerig (using a reusable cup), and the flavor is magnitudes better. Pros: Flavor, high temperature, keeps hot for 2 hours w/auto shutoff, nostalgic feel, takes up less counter space than the drip or Keurig makers did. Cons: You have to hand clean the pot, it does take a little longer to brew, no pouring a cup before the brewing is complete, a little noisy. There is also the common issue that without a disposable filter, you are guaranteed to be sending some coffee grounds down the kitchen sink drain. The list of cons may be longer than the pros, but the pros greatly out weigh the cons for me. I should note that the first maker sent to me did not work. I worked with Amazon and had a replacement sent and had to travel to Staples to return the original. When I say it did not work, I mean that I plugged it in, had water in the maker, hit the power button and there was no lights or heat or brewing. I tried several different working outlets and no change. However, the Amazon return process was as painless as usual. I am currently using the second pot, but I noticed some pitting on the nut at the bottom of the pot, and Elite Product support is sending me a replacement part (I think they mean the pot, and not the nut.)

Update Sept 27, 2022: I have had it now for a few months and still love it. I bought a little tag for it from the $ bins at Target, now it's even cuter. It cleans easily and I don't miss my Keurig at all. The reheat feature is the best and I use it all the time. I didn't like the acrylic knob or the aluminum down inside the bottom (see pics), BUT I can overlook those because of the great functionality this percolator has. --------------------------------------------- Original post July 2022 I researched many brands and types of percolators. I was initially set on a stovetop one, but the rewarming feature and auto shut-off and auto ready of this unit made it appealing. I didn't want to get distracted with the kids and forget my coffee was still heating on the stove an hour later! Yikes. I have been very impressed with this one. I realized that like most coffee makers it is basically a 6oz cup not 8 oz, so when I want to make 4 cups of coffee I fill my glass measuring cup to 3 cups or 24 oz, pour it in and add 4-5 coffee scoops/tbls of coffee and it makes it just perfectly. It does have markings inside that go only as low as 6 cups, so this is why I measure out 24 oz, because it would only be 4 cups if there was a mark for it. Inside the coffee basket there are markings that go from 4-12, so I'm not sure why they didn't do the same for the inside of the kettle, but it is only 6-12. Not a big deal because I don't use the markings. Can hardly see the ones on the coffee basket anyway. The percolator states that it is all stainless steel, but it does have a very small heating part in the bottom that is aluminum where the stem sits down in. So that part will discolor and have a slight corroded look over time, but it's fine. I sometimes leave the extra coffee in the pot until the next day, but take out the coffee basket, and then reheat by turning it on and letting it get the coffee piping hot again. It's way hotter than my Keuring ever gets, which I enjoy because I can add half and half and its still too hot to drink for a few mins. I like my coffee REALLY hot and REALLY dark brewed. This unit meets that way better than a Keuring or even my expensive Nespresso ever could. If you ever accidentally make it too weak it's pretty easy to add more coffee to the basket and brew again, but only after it has cooled enough to open and for the unit to start again and not just keep warm. The keep warm feature is also a favorite. After pouring my first cup I just place the unit back on the base and press the button again and it will keep it warm for another 30 mins or so. Brilliant unit. So happy I didn't get a stove top one. This makes it a breeze with no babysitting or accidentally leaving it too long. Also, the basket holes are so tiny that only the finest coffee grounds could possibly escape, but they have to be miniscule.

While the warming feature of the Elite Gourmet percolator is great for those who have a tendency to forget to unplug appliances, for me, the fact that it shuts off after only 2 hours when I would like it to remain on until I switch it off is somewhat inconvenient. This percolator does a great job brewing coffee in about 8 minutes. To start the process, press the button on the pot and it will illuminate RED. Once brewing is complete, the light will switch to BLUE, which means the percolator is now in mode to maintain the coffee at the proper serving temperature. Coffee will be piping hot with full-bodied flavor. After brewing, remove the basket and stem. This is important because if you want to leave the percolator on for a few hours so you can keep going back for refills, understand that it will automatically shut off after 2 hours, and restarting it will restart the brewing process. To avoid re-percolating the already percolated coffee grounds, remove the basket and stem about 20 minutes after initial brewing is complete. When, after 2 hours, the percolator shuts off but you’d like to keep it on longer, you can easily reheat the coffee by pressing the start button. Without the basket and stem inside the percolator, it will simply reheat, not re-brew your coffee. If, however, you leave the basket and stem in the percolator and want to reheat the coffee after it automatically shuts off, understand that if the percolator has been off for 10 minutes or more, it will re-percolate the already percolated grounds. The result will be a bitter-tasting coffee. ALWAYS remove the basket and stem after the initial brewing temperature process, just in case you need to restart the percolator after it automatically shuts off. This percolator is easy to clean. Wait until the percolator has cooled before cleaning. Waiting until it’s cooled means you won’t burn yourself and won’t damage the percolator. Never run cooler water into a hot percolator because doing so could damage any heat sensors inside the base of the percolator. Just don’t submerge the percolator. I use a soapy scrubbing sponge to clean the lid and the percolator’s interior and then rinse out the interior under the faucet. I then wipe off any excess water from the exterior and base of the unit, and then turn it upside down to drain. The separate base that plugs into a standard outlet needs no care, just an occasional wiping with a damp cloth while unplugged will suffice. Some have complained of leakage with this percolator, but if they’re saying it’s from the base of the pot, that is not an issue I have experienced. It’s true that the lid of the percolator has 3 small holes drilled into one side of the rim, and as a result of these holes, a few drops of the brew might escape with the release of steam during the brewing process. Any liquid released through these vents is hardly noticeable and doesn’t occur with regularity. As I said, leakage is not an issue with this percolator. I like the convenience of being able to take the pot into another room to pour and then return it to its base in the kitchen. Overall, I rate this percolator 4 1/2 stars. The only reason I didn’t rate it a 5 is because the keep-warm feature shuts off after only 2 hours. Like I mentioned earlier, you can just press the button on the percolator to switch it back on (RED means the coffee needs to reheat; BLUE means the coffee is still hot enough and only needs to stay hot). Just make sure the basket and stem are removed after the first brewing because, depending on how long the pot has been off, when you press the button back on to reheat the coffee, it will start percolating the used grounds, and you don’t want that. Without the basket and stem, the pot will simply heat the coffee, not restart the brewing process. Additionally, this percolator so far has proven to be durable and relatively quiet when brewing. A great item for the money, and so much more convenient and producing better coffee than the Keurig or any other pod machine of the genre. NOTE: for those wondering why there are 3 holes on the side of the percolator’s lid, it’s physics: 1. steam release 2. Allows coffee to pour more evenly UPDATE—percolator vs. Keurig, 2/5/25: just want to report that my ELITE GOURMET PERCOLATOR continues to provide excellent coffee. My husband knows absolutely nothing about working in the kitchen, so as to making coffee, you can be sure that him handling anything more complicated than dropping a pod into a Keurig is something he wants no part of. Problem solved: I prepare the pot before bed. Thus, as soon as he awakens in the morning, and tells me that he’s “going to make the coffee”, he means he’s going to press the switch to start the brewing process. When we owned Keurig (and we owned several throughout the years, once the brand presented on the market; they don’t last), there was nothing to do but to drop a pod into the pod holder and then press the button to start. If that sort of convenience is what you’re looking for, of course the percolator may not be for you…But preparing the pot prior to retiring for the night is as close in convenience to the Keurig as one can get. Once you start the percolator, you can attend to other tasks; and in about 8 minutes your brew is ready. What the percolator lacks (as compared to the ease of brewing coffee in the Keurig), it makes up for in maintenance: • no having to maintain the water carafe • no cleaning process requiring costly solutions and at least a half hour of your time The percolator does not retain water while it is idle, so there is no need for time-consuming maintenance with costly cleaning solutions. And for those who believe that the cheaper cleaning solutions that their manufacturers claim will work on Keurig, I’ve found this to be untrue. I used Keurig’s cleaning solution once, and had no issues with the machine. Subsequently, when using so-called “universal” cleaning solutions guaranteed to work in Keurig machines, my Keurigs ceased working. Another thing about the Keurig brewers and others of this genre is the thought of standing water always remaining inside the body of the brewer. That water is only released with the next brew cycle; so for me, brewing a cup of hot water solves that problem but it also wastes water. The ELITE GOURMET PERCOLATOR retains NO water during down-time and only requires (after each use) just a bit of scrubbing of its interior, a rinse, and you’re done! I’ve owned this ELITE GOURMET PERCOLATOR for almost a year now, and it gets a daily workout; so it has proven it can take the rigors of the most dedicated coffee drinker. In another few months, I will provide an additional update. Hopefully, my percolator will still be going strong. Until then…

I had an Elite Gourmet Percolator for many years, and it finally quit. I couldn't find the same model, so I ordered this one, and was very disappointed on day 2. And then it stopped working altogether after about 2 months. Pros: The new screen has finer mesh for a slower drip, so it makes a very good cup of coffee. It's a good percolator, and it's easy to use and clean. They've added some features that land in both the pro and con category. It has an auto-off timer of 30 minutes. This is nice, as the old one would pretty much stay on all day if you forgot about it. Cons: The auto-off features is VERY poorly executed. If you lift it up to pour a cup and set it back on the power base, you have to remember to turn it back on every time, or it won't keep the pot hot. EVERYONE in our house forgets, so we bought an insulated carafe and just immediately pour the coffee in there after it brews. So we spent $60 to correct that issue (I was fine with that, because it's better to keep coffee insulated rather than continue heating it, but still). I've never timed the 30 minute auto-off, but it seems to quick. When we weren't using the carafe, it was usually shut off before it seemed we were done with coffee time. FAIL: Now whatever chip they added to introduce these auto "features" failed inconsistently starting after the first month. We started a pot, the light turned red as usual, and when I came back, it was blue, so it was done.... but the water inside was room temperature, the coffee grounds were dry, and it never actually brewed. But then the next day, it worked normally. This went on very sporadically for a few months, and now it just goes straight to blue and never brews. In summary, they took a great product, tried to improve on perfection, and failed. This was a disappointment when it was working as intended, and kind of a relief when it broke. I'll have to search a little better for the original model, or just pick a new brand? I don't know. Everyone in my family that uses a percolator uses this brand; they just haven't needed to replace theirs since the new auto-off features have been introduced. I have warned them. (by warning them, I mean, that we had a bday party recently when the coffee pot decided to quit for good. I made coffee on the stove and strained it into the carafe. Everyone complimented the coffee, so I mentioned the whole predicament so they would know to watch out in the future)

I purchased may of 2022. It is still working today but the top see through nob is plastic (i thought it was glass) and they broke off. In trying to fix it I realized that over the last several years it must have been breaking off into the coffee and some of the plastic was gone. There's no need for a see-through top knob, and there's no need for it to be plastic.

Unit was recommended by my brother who’s used his “thousands of times”. It has held up well for daily use for the week we’ve had it. I like the pour spout and the swivel action on the base. Originally it leaked first time because the plastic knob and parts on top weren’t fastened tight (book says not to) and the plastic and metal didn’t quite line up. Refastened and now works perfect.
