Arco M1874 Coffee Percolator

My husband and myself love the coffee maker. It makes excellent coffee and it does has lines on the side and inside to measure the water correctly. I'm impressed, perculated coffee and electric coffee makers quality are very different. However, it's also economical, no longer requiring filters.

This is a very sturdy, well made coffee pot. Reminds me of the one my mother used many years ago, only better. The top is hinged, so you don't have to worry about it falling off when you pour coffee. The basket is generously sized and sturdy, has an actual spring in the middle to support the basket. This is a not a light-weight coffee pot. The handle doesn't get hot when the coffee is done, which is a tremendous plus if you have ever burned yourself on a stove top coffee pot. Makes coffee very quickly, Smells great when it's perking. Love the glass top which allows you to see the coffee perking. It's retro but better. Love it.I bought this pot to replace a celebrity endorsed pot I bought in a department store which was more expensive than this one and lasted about two months (the basket fell apart because it had no support and the pot got way too hot to hold). This is a definate upgrade. I'm very satisfied. Excellent value for the money. Thanks, Overstock. I'm in coffee heaven!

This is the old way to make coffee and the best way, I wouldn't have it any other way.

It''s a perfect size. easy to clean. The only thing I suggest is filling the perculator to 4 and a half cups of water because you want the water to hit the coffee grinds. I notice when I do it that way my coffee taste better and stronger. When it's four cups it's not as strong and less than that your coffee will be very watery.
