Sometimes leaves a coffee ring beneath perculater after new brew made. Problem with grounds in cup .Old percolator was a Faberware, after about twenty years of service it started to get tired. Replaced it with the Cuisinart.They sure don't make them like they used to. I should have spent the extra few bucks and bought a Faberware.

Pros: Light weight
Cons: Lid has small indent ,allows small coffee runs down pot,puddles under base.
