Hamilton Beach 40616 Stainless-Steel 12-Cup Electric Percolator

Product Description

Housed in heavyweight stainless steel with an attractive chrome mirror finish, this quick-brewing electric percolator makes 12 cups of coffee with super-fast, cup-a-minute speed. When brewing is complete, it automatically switches to a "keep warm" temperature to ensure each cup is as warm as the first. Great for entertaining, the percolator has a ready-to-serve light that indicates when coffee is ready to enjoy, and its detachable cord provides the ability to serve fresh perked coffee right at the table without any hassle. Other useful features include a drip-free spout, an easy-grip knob on the unit's lid, a stay-cool handle, and a stainless-steel permanent filter basket that minimizes grounds in brewed coffee. The unit combines present-day technology with the retro look of a '50s kitchen for creating a perfect compliment to any kitchen decor. The percolator, which should be washed by hand, measures 5-1/2 by 5-1/2 by 12-3/4 inches.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great Coffee...Until it Stopped Working After About 25 Pots, August 6, 2006
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 40616 Stainless-Steel 12-Cup Electric Percolator (Kitchen)
Before I purchased this coffee pot about a year ago, I read reviews by others who said 'good coffee but lasted only a few months.' I thought to myself...'oh, those people must have been the unlucky few who got bad units...or they emersed the pot and ruined it.' I should have listened to their 'don't buy' pleas, and hope others will listen to my message of warning.

I loved this coffee pot. Rich, strong, hot coffee, and great classic looks. My only complaint was that compared to other percolators I've used, this one is noisy. It makes a loud popping sound while brewing. I never emersed the unit, and was always very careful to avoid letting any water get near the base of the unit when washing it.

I bought this pot a year ago, and used it about twice a MONTH. Yesterday morning, I attempted to make coffee but got only the same 'beige water' that others have reported. Tried again today thinking maybe it was just a fluke, and got a second pot of luke warm... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Honeymoon is over, August 16, 2006
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 40616 Stainless-Steel 12-Cup Electric Percolator (Kitchen)
After just 4 months of minimal use (Monday mornings only), our attractive Hamilton Beach 12 cup suddenly quit. I should have listened. It produces only weak, warm clear coffee as of yesterday.
Irreconcilable differences. The required $9.95 shipping to return to the manufacturer is an insult. Good bye Hamilton Beach

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Coffee Maker, April 22, 2005
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 40616 Stainless-Steel 12-Cup Electric Percolator (Kitchen)
The Hamilton electric percolator is a well-priced, effecient coffeemaker that looks good in the kitchen as well. I enjoy not having to use paper filters that give a paper taste. The brewing is fast and just the right temperature. Only downside is that the outside becomes very hot.
