    I need a coffee maker, and I prefer percolators since my stovetop one broke. Anyhow, I was hoping to get one cheap from this past Black Friday sales, but this Cuisinart wasn't marked down any lower than 80 at my local JC Penney's. With that thin pot and plastic knob, it should be $60. But thanks for this demo. I'm still interested in purchasing one.

    I have the same coffee percolator. I don't use a paper filter, but I avoid grounds in the coffee by using a coarser grind.

    I am still trying to figure out the difference between the PRC 12 N and the PRC 12 NC. One is also a lot more money.

    I wonder if the weight of the unit, and the thinness of the metal, was a factor in its production. I have a Hamilton Beach 12 cup model, and when making a full pot, that thing is a tank. I have some pretty painful arthritis in both hands, and I mostly use a smaller french press unit, as it's so much lighter to handle...

    Does the coffee go into the knob at the top? It’s 18/0 stainless way better quality than any other on the market. Worried now customer service said the coffee doesn’t go into the knob

    Which of the perculator models do you recommend? I am look for an "ALL" stainless steel version with no plastic. Don't mind a "glass" knob on the lid.

    What I would like to know, is, does the coffee stay hot as long as you have the pot plugged in? My current percolator sits on a base with the cord attached to it and it shuts off after 2 hours and it may take me 3 hours to finish off a pot of coffee.

    Thank you for this great review! It really helped make a decision to buy my first percolator!
    Wish you compared it to the HB or the Faberware and said which was your favorite! 😊🙏

    I have the Cuisinart percolator. It makes darn good hot coffee. As you referenced, it would be nice if the steel was a little thicker and had a glass top. I don’t think it has any effect on the outcome though. I buy whole beans from a local roaster and grind them in my Baratza Encore grinder on setting 24 and use the Melita percolator filters.

    Does the last cup or two produce more coffee grinds when pouring or remain the same?

    • @CounterClutter
      @CounterClutter  11 місяців тому

      You do get more material in the last cup or so, but it is a small amount. Using paper filters helps reduce that.

  • @Rebel9668
    @Rebel9668 Рік тому +4

    Most percolators are meant to use a coarser ground of coffee than what most pre-packaged coffee is ground to today. Companies used to make different grinds for different types of coffee makers but nowadays they all just about only have the finer ground meant for drip coffee makers. Personally I don't mind a few grounds in a cup as to me it still tastes better than drip coffee.

    I’m thinking of going back to this style and found your videos! So thank you for making them. That being said, which do you recommend? As you described the thin metal and plastic knob, this would seem looking for one a little more beefy

    • @CounterClutter
      @CounterClutter  11 місяців тому +1

      I'd go with the Farberware model as it is a bit better granted they don't make them like they used to as the saying goes. There is no plastic knob though. Thanks for checking out my vids!

    • @CounterClutter
      @CounterClutter  11 місяців тому +1

      Just to update the knob on the Farberware is plastic but the water does not perc into it so there is no contact with the plastic. Just noticed that this morning.

    I need an electric perculator with a timer or strength changer basically. I bought a perculator, I think it was the Presto one and it doesnt brew long enough to make good coffee. It just gets to boil and stops brewing. It wont be good unless it brews it for a few minutes or so. I dont know whats wrong with all these perculators but Ive literally only seen like 1 decent one on the market, that has a timer, so I bought that one and love it. WTF though? GOd all these other ones suck, or I dont know what Im doing wrong then.

      Add a good handful of ice to the unit with your water before brewing. Makes it brew longer. Hope thus helps...

      Never tried but it might not operate well using that small amount of water. The least amount marked on the pot is 6 cups. To add, check out the smaller Presto model which offers 2 cup brewing: ua-cam.com/video/w20gord7YnE/v-deo.html

    I have one the only thing I hate about it is when you pour it it spills everywhere when you have it at 12 cups I have it below 12 cups and it still spills when you pour it. It’s a shitty design.
