Quest 35200 Electric Coffee Percolator / 1.8L Stainless Steel Filter Coffee Machine / 30-45 Minute Keep Warm Functionality/Removable Filter/Makes Up To 12 Cups At Once / 1100W

First impressions are good. I've been using this style of coffee percolator for more than 40 years - it still makes the best coffee (in my view). This particular make and model seemed a bit light at first handling, almost flimsy compared to older percolators, but the first, proper brew made was spot on, despite its noticeably quicker cycle, so it does indeed do the job properly. I tend to use filter coffee with my percolators and the basket can get a bit gummed up if not scoured regularly - only a general observation about sensible maintenance, not a criticism of this particular product, though the holes in the basket are tiny and may be susceptible to this recurring problem. The price was to me very reasonable - and like other reviewers I am tempted to order a spare unit as a back-up!

My friend has a 1930s bakelite version of this beautiful coffee pot that I have always admired. This is an amazing reproduction and is bigger than my kettle. It makes an amazing amount of coffee in one go and can be kept hot or reheated whenever you want it. It heats quicker than boiling the kettle and the coffee gets better every time. Both the kettle and the coffee holder within have measures clearly marked on the inside as a guide for how many cups you require. With a family of 8 it has become a breakfast must have. It takes up the same amount of space as a kettle but is taller. Much more esthetically pleasing and far less cumbersome than a conventional coffee machine I can't recommend it enough. Well done for bringing this design back to life, we love it.

Total piece of junk. Ceased heating water after only 11 days, even with 2 mugs' worth inside. Don't become another! I will have to return to my stone-age, 2-cup & hand-tea-strainer coffee method. Returning in double disgust at the good ratings and Amazon recommendation. Will not be buying any more coffee machines.

Looks elegant and is easy to use and wash. Coffee tastes great and is easy to use. Best thing about this item is that it keeps the coffee warm for a long time. BRAVO.

Like other reviewers, this was bought to replace a 1970s percolator, as we have never found anything that makes coffee quite so well. This is the first coffee maker that can make coffee just as good, but it is temperamental. We tried a much more expensive drip coffee machine, but that was worse. The basket has a few fine holes, and only in the bottom, so the water gets a good steep time on the grounds. It also sits proud of the jug on a spring, and the tube extends higher, into the clear plastic bit so you can watch it splurt. This actually makes it much easier to get in/out, and get the lid on. But the lid itself is can be very stiff, which is a good thing while brewing and pouring, but a bit of a pain for cleaning/filling. Might smooth out with some more use. I do half miss the little filling line clip that was cunningly designed to fall off in the sink every time, but not actually go down the plug holes, but as the assembly is easier to handle with the rod and basket attacked, I don't find myself filling with the rod in, so it wouldn't work anyway. There was a burning plasticy smell from the element on first use (no grounds), not noticed on a second run with clean water. To brew, I measured water in using our mugs, then read the inside measure to get how many 'cups' it thinks that is, and then used that many coffee scoops of ground coffee in the basket, and it came out full of flavour, not a hint of bitterness. Second run, not so great. The mechanism relies on a little washer that doesn't seem so reliable, and it appeared to not blop properly at all. Third one was ok, but weak and over heated. Watching it work and jiggling it to make sure it pops properly seems ok, but led me to realise - it gets too hot at the bottom and doesn't circulate the water well at the end. The heater is a little too strong. In fact, stopping it for a few seconds lets it cool a bit and pump water. So, it is possible to get a nice percolated cup of coffee from this, and some parts are better, but there's something iffy about the heater.

I've found this item to be excellent. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. It brews good HOT coffee at a rate of around one cup per minute. Just be aware that when you lift the pot off the stand to pour a cup, it switches the keep warm function OFF. Just remember to press the on/off switch again when you put the pot back on the stand. I've had a cup one hour after brewing which was as hot as the first. I've spent a small fortune over the years on fancy filter coffee machine. Not one of them gave me such a hot satisfying coffee. Put the water and coffee in, press one button. That's it.

Love this percolator. Easy to use. Keeps coffee hot for 20 minutes and will continue to if you press the button again. Bought another one for my mother. Use it all the time.

Brews a good, fairly large pot of coffee for 5 or 6 people. Easy to use.

Easy to use , easy to clean 👌

Buen precio y calidad aceptable. Funciona muy bien y tiene una gran capacidad. Articulo imposible de encontrar en España, es necesario cambiarle el enchufe, ya que viene con la toma inglesa, aunque funciona perfectamente con corriente de 220V

Wenn man die Menge einmal raus hat, stellt sich die totale Begeisterung ein. Der Kaffee schmeckt aromatisch, einfach lecker. Die Kanne ist edel und von guter Qualität. Ich habe sie seit 22.3.16

Coffee percolator is good and easy to use. The UK plug needs an Australian adapter but all good in the product.

Great price
