Quite possibly the best purchase I've ever made on Ebay. Cheap, mostly plastic drip coffee maker self destructed. Solution, buy a vintage stainless steel American made percolator from 50+ years ago. I have a chemex, aeropress, etc. and the pinnacle for coffee quality. However, in today's economy, they are not practical for ease of use, additionally, they hit the wallet hard. My wife and I needed a trustworthy daily driver.
The percolator arrived in great condition. Thank you
