For the most part I like this percolator. I don't like the odd lip at the top of the percolator. It makes cleaning the pot a tad annoying plus you can't rinse properly as it keeps getting caught in the lip. You have to really splash the water around to rinse properly. And you cannot turn it upside down to let any residual water drain out as it will get caught in the lip. And I feel that the bottom of the pot should be thicker since it sits directly on the burner. It should be thicker like my stainless steel water kettle is. And lastly they have a plastic percolator top instead of a glass one. I had to buy a glass one elsewhere. But this percolator gets the job done and looks very nice. When this percolator is retired I will not get another one like this for these reasons listed here.
