I wanted to love this percolator. I had another brand before this one and loved it. It just doesn't perform the way I expected. It seems to not perk long enough to get strong enough. 

Pros: Easy to use, coffee is really HOT, just the way I want it.
Cons: Inconsistent brewing. When I make a full pot with the same amt. of grounds, sometimes it is just right and sometimes it is weak. I like my coffee strong and do not skimp on the ground coffee. This pot does not deliver on consistently good coffee.
