Pot arrived 2 days early. I used the same amount of coffee as in my old 8 cup 1960s percolator, filled water to the 8-cup level, and in about 9 minutes I had perfect coffee. 
The basket, spreader, and tube are stainless and feel substantial. I think I picked a winner.
Made 2 more pots, adding a little coffee and water each time. Still great. Still 9 minutes. The claim of about a cup a minute holds up. Keep warm keeps it warm, not at a rolling boil. My old percolator stopped stepping the heat down from brew to warm.I had to unplug it as soon as the coffee was done to keep from burning the coffee or boiling the pot dry. 
I used to drink drip coffee at work and noticed how weak it was compared to percolator coffee at home.
