I haven’t had much time to get used to it yet. It looks nice, but I will need to find a coarse grind, not what I have for the drip coffee pot. Also, instructions state that the percolater needs an outlet without another appliance connected there. That is inconvenient for my kitchen space. Also, I have not noticed that the coffee stays all that hot after percolating.  Hopefully, I can work out the kinks.
