Presto 02811 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffeemaker Review

As most previous reviewers have said, this percolator brews very hot, delicious coffee. I had a Cuisinart grind n' brew and grew tired of the time it took to clean the darn thing because I always like to start every morning with a good, fresh cup o' joe.

Not having ever brewed with a percolator, but having fond memories of my mother doing it, I decided to take a chance on the Presto because of all the positive reviews. I wasn't disappointed. I was a little wary that there was no automatic shut-off for the coffee pot because I tend to be a little forgetful and thought I might burn it out if I left for work and forgot to unplug it. I solved that dilemna by purchasing an automatic shut-of timer and used the 2 hour setting.

I also read a few reviews that mentioned using a paper filter to keep the grounds that percolate out of the basket to a minimum. I tried doing that and found that using a filter actually caused more to leave the basket. I'm guessing that the design engineers took it all into account when they designed it. There are very few grounds in the coffee pot just using the basket that came with the pot. The smell that permeates the kitchen in the morning is awesome!

Presto 02811 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffeemaker Specifications

One of the most comforting sounds in the world is the bubbling of a coffee percolator at work. And then comes the toasty aroma--it makes for a perfect morning. Percolators have come back to home kitchens, and the Presto 12-cup stainless steel coffee maker is a prime example. Its elegant, hotel-style design brings a touch of luxury to what is for many a daily pleasure.

This coffee maker brews up to twelve cups of coffee at a cup-a-minute rate, which it then keeps at a constant, piping-hot serving temperature. An indicator light in the base announces when the coffee is ready. The inner fixtures--the filter basket and perk tube--are also made of stainless steel, rather than the more common (and less durable) aluminum. The power cord is removable to make storage simple.

Before cleaning the coffee maker, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Wash the coffee maker with warm, sudsy water and dry it thoroughly; it is not immersible. To preserve the gloss of the stainless steel, do not use steel wool or harsh, abrasive cleansers. The perk spout and filter basket can be cleaned with a brush or pipe cleaner. If necessary, coffee stain remover can be used periodically on the interior surface. The coffee maker measures 10 by 5 by 13 inches (including handle, lid, and spout). Presto guarantees this product with a one-year limited warranty. A simple instruction sheet is enclosed. --Garland Withers

Customer Reviews

good coffee with minor problems - Benjamin J. Kelly - Simi Valley
The coffee is Strong and Hot. A few problems 1. there area lot of grounds in the Coffee- You must use Wrap around filters-- much more expensive than the cheap filters to offset this problem. 2. The Cord is very short 2 feet + and must be set close to plug.3. the coffee pot is very noisey with wake the devil sounds that drive most people nuts.



WOW! - Angela G. Powell - Dallas, Texas
I've always hated coffee because of the bitter icky taste, no matter the brand. Our CoffeeMaker went out and hubby thought he'd like to try an old perc type so bought this one. Awesome. Coffee actually TASTES GOOD when brewed in this. Use less coffee grinds and get a better quality coffee to drink. The unit is easy to clean and we never have had any issues with it. Great value for the money.






product is OK, not thilled with service though - LL - Northern New Jersey
i received this as a christmas gift last year. While the coffee it makes is pretty darn good, it's been under a year and the screws that hold the thing together are completely rusted over. i'm also not 100% sure there isn't any rust inside. it's certainly discolored, as coffee can do, but because there is rust on the outside for sure, how do I know it's not on the inside as well? a friend of mine has had her percolator for probably 20 years and there is not a spot of rust on the darn thing! So, the thing is covered under warranty for a year. Great for me? sort of. I have to mail it back, on my dime, to someplace in Mississippi, and then wait for them to send me a new one. How long will this take? who knows? and THAT is why it gets 3 stars. Hopefully people reading my review will take into consideration the entire process, not just the specific product. in my opinion, that is part of the whole experience. If it makes great coffee, what is the point if it's just going to rust and you can't use it for months on end anyway?
btw, customer service at least answered the phone and gave me the necessary info. but big deal! they should have service centers or at least allow me to bring it back or have Amazon replace it for me in a more timely manner.
