Product Description

This polished aluminum coffeemaker brews coffee and then lets brunch guests or executives at a breakfast meeting serve themselves. The coffeemaker brews up to 30 cups of coffee and averages about one cup per minute in brewing time. For accurate filling, the urn has water level markings on its interior. The coffeemaker has a red serving light that illuminates when brewing is complete and the coffee is ready to pour. The two-way faucet pours easily and is dripless. An automatic temperature control keeps coffee warm as long as it is plugged into an outlet. For safety from burns, the filter basket has a cool tip and the handles, base, and lid are all heat-resistant. Additionally, the coffeemaker’s cover twists to lock, ensuring that accidental spilling will not occur. The coffeemaker comes with a detachable cord for easy storage. This appliance is covered by West Bend under a 1-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Own for the Home Entertainer or Office Coffee Pro, May 14, 2005

This review is from: West Bend 58030 12-30 Automatic Party Perk (Kitchen)

I have owned 3 West Bend coffee pot just like this since 1991- each one lasting at least 8 years with heavy use. I purchased my first to make my own coffee to serve at impromptu receptions that I hosted on sight in my sales job. I use a gallon of bottled water, nice paper filters and Maxwell House French Roast coffee. Hundreds of gallons of coffee later I have no complaints! I keep a second pot for tea- I have never made coffee in it- it is my superior hot water pot. As the other reviewer states- these pots are hot and the coffee is never cold.
I have thrown parties, family gatherings, and had it in my office serving coffee every day and everyone agrees- perked coffee tastes best. I do not care for Starbucks - the strong acid is not my thing. I prefer a strong cup of perked coffee. The percolator allows the coffee to actually cook which reduces the acid.Anything leftover from morning gets put into a pitcher and into the fridge for iced coffee in the afternoon- it is so yummy! For smaller quantity the Westbend home percolators are great- not your grandma's machine they have nice easy to read and follow settings and again the superior flavor over drip.This unit is easy to clean- do not let the size intimidate you.

This review is from: West Bend 58030 12-30 Automatic Party Perk (Kitchen)

This coffee maker 58030 is far better than was anticipated before having bought it. It has performed well.
As with so many reviews of different items,you truly only know the best reviews of items after a longer period of time.
Reviews later could be quite different than today for anyone.
My only concerns to consider as time passes is the performance of the Faucet lever which could potentially break.Not really confident that the lever will withstand countless usage.May be valid perception,just not quite sure.
Just in case,the lever assembly segment is called, Part # P69-104D

If one day,the lever fails,order the lever earlier as a backup or order the part instead of trashing the entire maker.

Other part numbers to be considered are as followed.
P947-20D is handle kit for two sides with screws
P122-45 is the black colored tray for placing your coffee onto it
L5590 is the operator manual incase you ever would want another.
P172-49D is the stem assembly that stands up inside coffeemaker. The stem kindof looks like a lower quality type of metal and looks gross after a short period of time.
P193-74 is the detachable plug with folks may lose if they were possibly moving to a new home.
P306-2 is that gigantic black cover that turns as a lid.
This feedback is to assist anyone from trashing this beast afterwards.
Coffee tastes well using the West Bend 58030 maker,last cup or two may include grinds residue.
To date, am pleased with this coffeemaker.
For you,price match for least competitive pricing. Do not assume Amazon or anyone will not upon occasion jack up the price.
For Amazon,do not price yourself away from the getting the sale.This coffeemaker is sold at countless outlets.
I located part numbers at [...]
Not aware if pricing for parts are competitive.

5.0 out of 5 stars New ones can be used for heating water!, May 3, 2009

By

This review is from: West Bend 58030 12-30 Automatic Party Perk (Kitchen)

I posted the review below some time ago, saying that the product could not be used for heating water. However, I have found that the current models CAN be used for heating water, and my new one is just as good as the one that I had many years ago. Note -- the person at customer service told me that the "well" at the bottom needs to be scrubbed frequently in order to keep the water hot.
=====================
I had a similar model that that gave 10 years of excellent service, heating water for tea and keeping it hot for long periods. Unfortunately the spout started to leak so I had to replace it. I used this new product twice, for heating water, and then it died. The customer service reps told me it was designed to be used only for coffee, and they claimed that using it for water actually voided the warranty. My instruction manual did not give any indication at all that the product should not be used for water. It seems to me that, since so many people use these for purposes other than making coffee, and since other brands can be used for these purposes, the description on Amazon.com should disclose that the West Bend has limited uses.
