Presto percolstors are tge best!
My previous Presto percolator lasted over 10 years! It far outlived my two Farberwarw percolators that didn’t last much longer than 12-18 months!

Won't be doing business with you ever. You lied to me that everything is stainless steel. Heating element is made of aluminium. I value my health so I will look for a better coffee maker.

Poor design limits the usefulness
We purchased this 12 cup Presto electric percolator 2 weeks ago to replace our 12 cup Farberware electric percolator, which finally died after 6 years of almost daily use. The Presto pot works well if you want to make 2-6 cups of coffee, but anything more than that results in grounds flowing over the basket and into the pot of coffee. We initially tried making 12 cups, then 10, without a filter since the perforations at the bottom of the basket are tiny and we felt that would provide enough filtering. We also tried using the provided wrap around filters but were still limited to 6 cups at most. The basket is shallow and the perforations in the bottom do not allow for the heated water to drain quickly enough.

Be aware the the perk well is Aluminum
I bought this a few months ago. For elegance, function, and coffee flavor I would have given it a 10 review if it were possible until I discovered it had an aluminum perk well. This company is not transparent about this! Nowhere does it mention anything about the aluminum well. They make it sound like the entire thing is stainless steel. Probably because they know they would sell less of them for people worried about aluminum. If this is a food grade aluminum, and or with a food grade coating to prevent leaching, they could easily add this in so people are not blindsided and feel comfortable with it. Since they do not do this, it makes it questionable whether this food grade or not. So, just be aware before you buy this. I only gave it a three star due the lack of transparency, which leads to the question: is this a deceitful practice to ensure higher sales??

No Plastic. Great coffee.
The Presto coffee maker makes great coffee. Keeps it warm all day. And is Stainless Steel so it doesn't leach plastic into our coffee. It's everything we wanted!

Pleasantly surprised
I switched to the Presto percolator because I wanted to stop having microplastics in my coffee and this percolator is 100% stainless steel. It’s easy to use and the fact that my coffee tastes so much better was a pleasant surprise.

Great coffee!?
The coffee made with this percolator is great! Pour overs are overrated. It would be even better if it was all stainless steel construction.

Still trying to make the perfect cup, suggestions?
Love the look of the stainless steel - it’s easy to use & clean. Coffee is extremely hot which I like. I have the 12 cup - still trying to perfect the brew. More often than not, I’m making 6-8 cups- still coming out too weak . I use plenty of coffee grounds coarse/ medium coarse. Found a video about shutting it off around 7 minutes of percolating time - that has helped some. Any suggestions would be helpful. Maybe, I should just do the full pot and use complete brew time but just seems wasteful . I do love not having plastic touch my coffee .

Presto makes the best coffee ever!!!
I have used Presto percolators most of my life. True, the older ones can last for years and years. Now days with planned obsolenscense they last about 5 or 6 years. I have read others saying perked coffee is bitter. I have never known a bitter cup of coffee from a Presto percolator. We recently moved a long distance and the basket lid was ho where to be found, so looked on line at this site, and 2 days later I had a new one. I will continue to use Presto percolators. Love Presto!!!

14 months and died. Freakin Aluminum Heating?
heating element failed after 14 months. Then I come back here to see other reviews point out that the heating core is aluminum. UNACCEPTABLE. I would never have bought this had I known that aluminum was in any part that is exposed to heat and my precious coffee. Shame! You said it was all stainless steel. Very disappointed. I probably will not buy any Presto items in the future. You better hope I don't remember to sue when I get alzheimer's. Not kidding.

No More Plastic!
I was looking for something eco-friendly. It isn't as convenient as my drip coffee maker was, but now I'm not drinking boiled water through plastic anymore. At first I was getting grounds or sludge in the last cup, but with a little practice, the product is delivering a great cup of coffee as promised. I'm very happy with it.
1 reply from PrestoCS team - 1 year ago
Although not required, a wraparound filter is recommended to alleviate most grounds getting into your coffee. You're right, it takes a little practice. We're happy to hear the coffee maker is working well for your household. Let is know if we can help you going forward. Call 1-800-877-0441 if you need someone from our Customer Service Team to help you. We're available weekdays, 8-4 CT.

Aluminum Heating Element
Ordered it and realized it has a Aluminum heating element that comes in contact with the water/coffee. Shame on you Presto. I am so disappointed.

Aluminum!!
Grrrrrr, I ordered this product because it stated it was 100% stainless steel. I just received the percolator only to find out it's not! Why can't companies take some responsibility and producing clean, healthy products? The comments below from Presto "we didn't mean to be deceitful, aluminum is better for heating" Seriously?? We will gladly wait longer for a clean cup of coffee! Sending this back immediately.
