## Description

Cuisinart brings its coffee-making expertise to the 12-Cup model of their classic stainless steel percolator.

A detachable cord and stay-cool bottom lets this percolator go anywhere to serve, and it only needs to be plugged in to keep it hot.

- MODERN DESIGN: We bring a modern touches to traditional coffee making techniques with the this sleek stainless-steel percolator
- NO-DRIP SPOUT: Long, tapered and pours without a spill – with an ergonomic handle, knuckle guard, and no-drip spout, pouring your fresh coffee is simple

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the clear knob on the lid glass or plastic?**
A: Plastic and it really needs to be glass (or a better grade of plastic).
Mine just broke for the second time- Cuisinart did replace the knob, which does come off if you are handy with a pair of pliers but the amount of stress the plastic is under after a number of heat cycles fractures. Both handles fractured in the same way. Design fault- this is what you get when the accountants get in after the engineers...

**Q: Is the knob on the top glass or plastic?**
A: Don't buy this coffee pot. Be prepared for the cheap plastic knob on top to break. We used ours pot daily for the past 3 years. Once a year we have to replace the plastic knob. OK, there only $6.50. buy two right! Well the last one to break I call the company for a couple  replacements. They don't just sell the knobs anymore you have to purchase the whole lid for $17.00. I told them to forget it. Buy a pot that has a glass knob! Spend the extra money.

**Q: Does the pot keep the coffee warm by re-percolating periodically, or does it just have a heating element?**
A: No, it does not re-percolate after the first cycle. If you leave it plugged in after finishing, it is essentially just a hot plate that keeps the coffee warm. It will not percolate already hot coffee. If you want it to percolate the same coffee more, it has to be cooled all the way back down somehow. This basically defeats the ENTIRE PURPOSE of a percolator in the first place. It essentially is a drip coffee maker with a water heater, and takes away any control you have over how long it percolates or how strong it can make coffee. That is why there is a clear knob on top, so we know to KEEP it percolating. With this one, we can't. So what's the clear knob even for? It is a complete joke.

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: This item is made in China

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent coffee
*by G***D on August 27, 2022*

I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. The coffee is much better than our drip. I was amazed by the time it takes start to finished perked coffee, which is 7 minutes! It perks within about a minute. The cleaning is pretty easy and easily done in a sink. I started buying Maxwell house and I am very happy with flavor in this percolator. The coffee is hotter than our drip maker. The biggest reason was getting away from plastic, which every drip maker has hot water continually pouring over plastic, this can’t be good over time. We had a Keurig coffee maker but these plastic k cups worry me also, I have no way to test for plastics and now I don’t need to worry about it. I feel this is absolutely a healthy move for my family. Don’t ever see me moving back to the plastic coffee makers.Update- we have made Starbucks veranda, pikes peak and Tim Hortons, and all tasted better than drip. I have been using the marks in the basket for cups of coffee and it’s been working great! We started getting more grounds in coffee if going above the 12 cup mark for coffee basket. I did use the disc filters at bottom of basket, and if I used more than 12 I put another filter on top of the grounds and this reduced the grounds in coffee. The issue I see is because it perks fast it fills the basket and grounds come out the top of basket. There are really not a lot of grounds without doing this. I also use a blue scrub pad on inside of the pot where the percolator pipe sits, it’s an easy clean. To be honest I clean this better than the drip and feel better about it. I am super happy with it. Getting rid of plastics makes me feel much better. I still can’t believe how quick it works.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Second purchase of a great percolator.
*by S***S on January 3, 2020*

My first Cuisinart PRC-12 was a gift, and I loved it because it brewed better coffee than the drip coffee makers that I had been using previously. It also lasted for a long time before the heating element began to fail. It lasted for at least four years, and probably longer before I noticed it couldn't make coffee any longer. I used the percolator every day. After some thought, I decided to buy the same percolator again, and it is still great.I use paper filters inside the brew basket by punching a hole in a 12 cup coffee filter with a bamboo skewer, and that keeps grounds out of my coffee. Also, when the plastic ball in the lid broke, I found a website where I bought 2 more of them to replace just the bulb and not the whole lid, so spare bulbs are available. The original plastic bulb lasted nearly the whole lifetime of the percolator, so at least four years and maybe five.Bottom line, this percolator is worth a try. I like strong, hot coffee and this percolator makes it great. I tried a camping style stove top percolator in the interim, and it worked, but the inside parts were made of flimsy aluminum, and it was possible to boil the coffee too much and ruin it, if I got busy doing something else. This percolator stops perking automatically and has a warm setting, which I appreciate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this percolator!
*by R***L on June 13, 2020*

I love my new percolator! The coffee smells wonderful, sounds fantastic while it’s perking and tastes amazing ! Not all percolators have the see through area where you can see it perking and that was a must for me. It’s very easy to use & clean. The temp is hotter than my cuisinart drip coffee maker which I love. It is fast also, faster than I thought would be. I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m enjoying choosing different coffee beans to try with my new cuisinart bur grinder as well!FYI: a filter is not necessary if you grind your beans coarse but I did go ahead and order the melitta disc coffee filters from amazon also ( it popped up as an option when I ordered) I am using the filter simply because there are so many grounds to throw away each time and the little round filter makes the grounds come out easier when throwing them away since they are wet and try to stick to the basket. Also, I’ve seen people complain that this coffee maker does not really make 12 cups.... on all coffee makers - 1 cup only equals 6 oz. so it’s no different than any other pot.
