Recalling the classic coffee percolators from the 1950s, this percolator produces the same "perk, perk" brewing sound and piping-hot, robust coffee as the originals. Updated with stainless steel housing, the percolator uses the same time-tested method of steam power to boil and re-circulate liquid through the coffee grounds, resulting in a richer, hotter brew than drip-style coffee makers. The percolator brews up to 12 cups at a rate of one cup per minute and the entire percolating process is visible through the lid's transparent knob. The percolator has a comfortable handle and a tapered spout that prevents drips. The detachable cord and a stay-cool base allow convenient tableside service. 12 1/4" H x 9 1/4" W x 6 1/4" D. (3 lbs.)
