It's a good quality coffee pot, but it's so air tight that you must lift the lid a little to let air in while pouring so the coffe comes out freely. This could create a problem because the lid could fall off while pouring. That has not happened yet to me though. Also, it's a little tough to brew the full 12 cup capacity because as soon as it starts to perculate, the coffee shoots out the spout. You would have to have the flame on the stove just right for it not to happen. So I usually only brew 10 cups to prevent this from happening.

I bought the Fresco Stainless Steel Coffee 12 cup Percolator and the Farberware Classic Yosemite Stainless Steel 8 cup Percolator for my RV. The intent was to have a larger percolator for when we had guests and a smaller percolator for just the two of us. They are, however, exactly the same size. The Fresco Stainless Steel Coffee Percolator actually only makes 8 cups, unless you're counting european sized cups. Secondly, the Farberware is superior in quality and is just over half the price. I had to make significant adjustments (including buying hardware) to the Fresco Percolator to keep the handle from breaking off. Now that I've made the the repairs, I use it as the backup to the Farberware in my RV.
