## Description

Experience the taste of bold, flavorful coffee with the Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 12 Cup Percolator. Before single serve and automatic drip coffee makers, there was the percolator. Remember the perking sounds of freshly brewing coffee? Better yet, how about the bold, hot coffee it produced? Coffee brewed in the Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 12 Cup Percolator is still just as satisfying but takes a lot less time to brew than the percolators of old. This attractive stainless steel percolator stays hot with a gentle keep warm heater. It also has a detachable cord for tabletop serving, cool touch handle and no drip spout for easy pouring. A ready-to-serve light takes the guesswork out of when it’s done. The light indicates brewing is complete and keep warm mode has started.

## Features

- BREW GREAT-TASTING COFFEE AND MORE: The coffee percolator automatically brews rich, flavorful coffee that makes for a perfect morning. The electric percolator pot is also great for heating up to 12 cups of water for tea, hot cocoa, or instant coffee.
- BREW UP TO 12 CUPS FAST AND KEEP IT HOT: This electric percolator brews between 2 and 12 cups of coffee at a cup-a-minute rate. It then keeps the coffee piping hot for serving, without scorching.
- ELEGANT TABLE SERVICE: The 12 cup coffee percolator has an attractive, traditional design with easy-pour spout and cool-touch handle to make serving easy. It's portable with a removable cord, ideal for cord-free service at the table and for easy storage.
- DURABLE & EASY TO CLEAN: The percolator is made from quality stainless steel to last for years to come. The brew basket and stem are also made from stainless steel rather than aluminum, and they are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- KNOW WHEN COFFEE IS READY: The indicator light on the base illuminates to let you know when coffee is ready.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it have any plastic parts??**
A: The inside of the coffee pot has a plastic looking part right where the heating element is, I'm not sure if it is epoxy or resin or what, it just looks like plastic to me so I am immediately returning it.

**Q: does this come with the cord?**
A: Yes it comes with the cord.

**Q: must you use a filter?**
A: No!  If you fill the basket too full the grounds might overflow. If you READ the instructions it says wetting the basket helps prevent grounds from passing through when you fill it. I use Folgers or similar coffee and have never had a problem. Using a filter defeats the purpose of using a percolator. You might as well use an automatic drip....

**Q: What's the voltage in this percolator? I want it for use in Europe and would rather have it at 220V. Otherwise I'll have to use a transformer**
A: Hello how is your experience to use it at 220V? What transformer do your use? Thanks in advance!

Mientras preparamos el desayuno el café está listo, bien caliente y con un sabor y aroma deliciosos, mejor que el de una cafetera por goteo.

    It's Easy to Keep Coffee Grounds out of Your Coffee
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on 1 February 2019*

I really enjoy the looks and function of this percolator. It makes a great, rich, cup of coffee and cleans-up easily afterward. Also, I find the 'percolating' sound oddly reassuring. I just bought a second one so that I will not be out if something does go wrong with it.After 2 years of using this percolator I have never had grounds in my coffee. If you have trouble with this, try stretching the spring a little. You want the spreader at the top of the basket to press up against the underside of the cap. That way it cannot rise up and allow coffee grounds to be released from the basket during brewing. Also, I prefer to use a paper filter in the basket so as to prevent clogging or silt (never had a problem with that, either). If you have a silt problem you might be using too fine a grind. I grind my whole beans in a Krupps for 10-12 seconds -- pretty fine, but not enough to be a problem.If you have a problem with this percolator brewing for too short a time, tripping a GFCI, or making weak coffee, it almost certainly is because of trouble with an inexpensive thermostat in the bottom of the unit (very common problem!). If you have a little electrical know-how, open the bottom (two spanner/notched security screws) and locate the ceramic thermostat that is labeled 36TMH01 L80-20C. That's the one that controls the perc (the other is a safety in case the unit overheats). The 80 means that it will perc until the water temperature reaches 80 C, or about 176 degrees F, then shutoff until the temp falls by 20 degrees C, or to about 140F (well below where the warming circuit will keep the water temperature, so you don't have to worry about it starting to perc again).If the perc time is just too short or your unit is making weak coffee (and you are definitely putting the pump tube in the well at the bottom correctly), first try putting some thermal grease between the thermostat and the bottom of the water chamber. Reassemble while ensuring that the retaining bracket holds the thermostat TIGHTLY against the chamber (if you don't, the water temperature will not affect the thermostat as much as the hot air from the heating element nearby, causing it to trip way too prematurely).If that does not help, or if you have a GFCI trip issue, then replace the thermostat. I could not find a direct replacement online (and HB will not sell you the part), so I purchased a Ceramic KSD302, Normally Closed, 90C from AliExpress for less than a dollar (free ship) and that is working well for me! 80C would be match for the original thermostat, but I wanted to increase perc time by using a higher temperature cutoff (that extra 10C/18F gives me 8-9 minutes of perc time instead of 6-7). If you use a KSD301/302 (the 302 handles more current and should last longer), trim a little of the woven glass insulation off the red 'hot' wire and use it as an electrical insulator between the thermostat and its retaining bracket.Please check to ensure that the green ground wire is connected correctly before final assembly.Hey, did you know that you can extend the perc time by using cold water? I find that using water below 40 F increases perc time by about 1.5 minutes (compared to room temperature water). In Winter, before going to bed, I place a full quart canning jar on a window sill next to the glass and close the thermal blind. In the morning it's ready for fresh coffee!

    Muy contenta con la cafetera
  
  

*by G***H on Reviewed in Mexico on 21 April 2019*

Mi mama tenia este tipo de cafeteras desde hace muchos años y no podía encontrarla en ninguna tienda departamental, hasta que la encontré en Amazon.  Leí los reviews para decidir que marca comprar y fue una muy buena decisión.  La cafetera llegó a solo unos días de haberla comprado, en perfecto estado y funciona muy bien.  Para reuniones familiares puedo servir fácilmente 12 tazas de tamaño normal y se mantiene caliente. Aun para mi sola, puedo hacer solo 2 o 4 tazas y funciona igual de bien.  No hay derrames al hacerse el cafe, ni al servirlo.  Realmente la recomiendo.
