Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel Percolator, 12 Cup, Model 40616

I love this percolator. I was concerned that for the price it would be cheaply built. I was wrong. This percolator is quieter than my old Cuisinart. And brews a perfect cup of coffee. It doesn't float the coffee grinds out of the basket which is a huge improvement.

Previously, we had a different brand perculator and this brand (Hamilton Beach) has "sturdier" parts and feels more substantial. It perculates quickly and the coffee stays nice and hot for hours without the coffee tasting bitter. We are very happy with this purchase and the price was reasonable too. Thank you, Walmart

My 30 year old coffee maker (Black and Decker Under Counter Model) finally bit the bullet and died. I remember how good coffee tasted from my mom and dad's percolator, so I decided to buy one for my home. This percolator makes EXCELLENT COFFEE! It stays hot, the coffee is ready in a short time and it seems the coffee gets better with each pot! It makes from 2-12 cups with a water measuring device inside the percolator and a coffee measuring device marked on the outside of the coffee holder. I would recommend this product to anybody who likes a good, hot pot of coffee in the morning!

I bought this coffee maker for my son-in-law as a Christmas gift and he is using it everyday and just loves it! Much better than a Keurig or Mr. Coffee - this makes really fine coffee and keeps it hot. I'm thinking about buying myself one but I'm usually a tea drinker. LOL

I bought this about a month ago because of the other reviews I had read! Boy, were they right on! This percolator makes absolutely outstanding coffee and keeps it HOT! Really hot! With no burned over over-perked flavor! I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a cup of excellent, very hot coffee! One thing to note: the manufacturer recommends regular grind coffee for this machine, I have used fine grind and it works out well, but switched to regular grind and found coffee perfection!

We were looking for any coffee maker that would deliver a hot cup of coffee. The regular drip coffee makers just don't do it. Remembering that my parents used a percolator and that coffee always seemed piping hot, I decided to try this electric version. Glad I did. It's simple, inexpensive, and the coffee's great. Very happy.

The picture does NOT reflect the percolator received. Wanted the percolator represented in the picture rather than the model 40616 sent. Is it possible to get the percolator shown in the picture? Would much rather have it than the one received.

I have a small Proctor Silex percolator that is over 20 years old, but it is only 4 cups. I wanted a larger percolator. I have only used the new percolator once. A full 12 cups of coffee perks in 10 minutes which is great. The coffee reaches 180 degrees. It is not as hot as my smaller percolator which reaches 200 degrees. Over all this is a very good coffee pot.

I have always loved good coffee and over the years have tried every type of coffee maker but always seemed to remember coffee as a young woman in a old fashioned coffee perc as the best I had ever had. And I was right. It is the best way and maybe the coffee perc will come back into fashion again.

My disappointment was it not having a water level indicater on the outside of the pot. I guess I read it wrong. The pot it self is smaller in size than my old GE that died. My old pot was over 10 yrs old, sturdier made & cost less but that was then. If this lasts as long as my GE then I can't complain!
