I read all the review and thought that since this one was made in England, it had to be better. NOT TRUE ... First, it keeps coffee almost at a boil ... so as soon as coffee was done, I upluged it. Second, there were always grinds in the coffee. Third, the pot started leaking from the base after two weeks of use. Totally a bad unit.

This percolator makes a great pot of coffee. Trouble is, it doesn't stop boiling the coffee after it finishes percolating. Its warm cycle is too robust - makes me think the one I bought is defective or just not completely compatible with 110 current.

My husband and I were recalling the days when our mothers used to make perc coffee on the stove so decided to buy this. Overall we have been very happy with it - it is very easy to use and easy to clean and we particularly like the green light that turns on to let you know it is ready. Our only complaint is that because the pot is not insulated at all the coffee does not stay hot and it specifically tells you to remove it from the base once it is done. if we want to enjoy the coffee over a longer period of time we have to pour it into a thermal carafe but I'd still recommend it.

I have owned this pot for at least 4 years, and hands down it makes the best coffee Iv'e ever had. My husband and I cannot even drink drip coffee anymore, because the taste is so watery and bland, and sour compared to this pots wonderful coffee.

Yes, it does leak from the bottom. Yes, you will be drinking coffee grounds. Not fun for having dropped 100.

I have just thrown out my second Dualit coffee percolater (shame on me for not having learned after the first purchase.) Percolater ball at top is plastic and if you use it to remove the top it will soon break as the nut that screws it in is plastic as well. I solved this problem with a food grade brass nut after the plastic nut cracked (but before the plastic ball did.) Then, it started to leak at the bottom....then it just stopped brewing coffee and delivered weak, tea looking coffee instead. On the other hand I have had a Dualit toaster for well over ten years now...it is a great product, makes great toast, bagels, etc and have never had a problem with it..... the Dualit percolators are no match for the quality of their toasters, however.

p.s. I never wrote a review for Amazon before....for any product!!! why do you say reviews are limited to one per customer in any category?????

I previously had the Toastess Peculator coffee pot, however they no longer make it. I have purchased Dualit products before and have always found them to be of superior quality. This product is no exception. I love the size of it, the look of it, but most important the taste of the coffee. Once you have tasted coffee made with a perculator you will never use a drip coffee maker again.

.Dualit Cordless Percolator Our Dualit Cordless Percolator is almost perfect, just one small concern. We were looking for a large capacity percolator, and this one holds 6 1/2 measuring cups. However, this just means you get that lovely perking coffee smell more often
