Cuisinart Classic Stainless Percolator (Refurbished)

I will never purchase a refuebished item, even if it has many tests for wear. I owned the item for 6 months and then it stopped working. Warranty ran out exactl;y the amount of time it lasted. Had to purchase another coffee maker, so it was not economical. Enjoyed percolating while it lasted

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? at first, we were enjoying our coffee
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Short-lived appliance
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Nothing you could do if it breaks down, but I was out a percolator too soon after purchase. The warranty was valid for only 6 months, exactly the amount of time it lasted..

I am very disappointed in this particular percolator. at first coffee was ok but now every pot of coffee i perk is so weak. this am i used 15 scoops of coffee for 10 cups and yet still coffee is so weak. it was not even enjoyable. I do not recommend this model to anyone who enjoys a great cup of coffee because you will definately be let down.

This is a great percolator...it perks rather loudly, but makes great coffee. I was using my mom's 50+ year old MirroMatic percolator which brewed fantastic coffee, but thought that a stainless steel system might be a healthier alternative...also, the basket and stem can go in the dishwasher unlike the aluminum parts of the old pot. Easy to wash and the clear nob on top lets you watch the coffee brewing...fun!

I was a tad bit disappointed in this coffeemaker. I had two prime reasons for switching from my drip pot: to get hotter coffee, and to save room on my less-than-expansive countertop. So the new pot definitely takes up less room, but it does NOT make hotter coffee. I read a lot of previous reviews indicating that this would be true, but it produces the same old tepid, less-than-flavorful coffee. Hence my disappointment. Beyond that, the coffee maker looked new, though it was refurbished.
