Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought a product in Canada (sold under the name "Copco") that looks just like this one. The price seems rather high by US standards; presently it's $40 in Canada. I tried another brand with a flip-up lid, instead of the snap-on lid that this one has. It spewed coffee over the stove.
I've experimented a lot with coffee: drip, French press, electric percolators. For the best taste, it's got to be a pump-driven espresso machine, or a stove-top percolator. With this one, start with the pump tube in the pot, and prepare about 1.4 litres of boiling water, and fill to the 8-cup level. DO NOT add the pump tube after you've added the boiling water, because the boiling water can squirt out through the relief vent on the base, causing a SCALDING HAZARD! Add 7 scoops of freshly opened coffee (Do not store coffee in an air-tight container in the fridge; store it in an air-proof container in the freezer: stuff plastic bags into the can, or small glass jar, to displace the air). Next, put the percolator on a ceramic or coil burner, at high for one minute to get the percolation going, and then at low thereafter. The time: 17 minutes!! Yes, to get that really perky taste, that's how long it takes - no more, no less. If you cover the pot with a tea cozy (made of oven mitt materials) you usually won't need a microwave for re-heating. Use lots of sugar and 18% MF cream - you'll enjoy every slurp!
