HAD A COFFEE POT LIKE THIS FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND WHEN I FOUND THIS ONE I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE AS GOOD, BUT WAS I WRONG.  THE COFFEE WAS GREAT AND THE COFFEE STAY HOTTER MUCH LONGER.  I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THIS NEW CLASSIC STAINLESS STEEL PERCOLATOR. IT MADE MY 87 YEAR OLD MOTHER AND HER HEALTH CARE AID VERY HAPPY WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR MORNING COFFEE.  THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
