Elite Gourmet EC812 Electric 12-Cup Coffee Percolator with Keep Warm, Clear Brew Progress Knob Cool-Touch Handle Cord-less Serve, Stainless Steel

This is the best percolator since my 2008 & 2010 Cuisinart ones that I loved so much & used extra for tea as I was doing catering & cooking classes at the time. But I burned through those & was just making it on stove- but then needed 1 fast because I could no longer do that due to a stroke & nerve damage. I looked at the CRAZY prices of all of the percolators out there & then found this. It was an unused open box special & so I tried it because of the low price & it being ALL stainless steel. It brews an amazing cup of coffee & it is still great cold or reheated! It takes about 10-12min to fully brew and the base stays hot for 2.5hrs afterwards. The blue light shows when ready & it has a red light to show brewing. The inside of percolator is marked from 4 cups to 12 cups on the inside by the handle & so is the basket to ensure the right base amount standard pre-ground coffee from store. Im super stingy with my 5 stars & this definitely makes the cut!! I found if I wait about 3min after the blue light comes on then the whole pot is a little stronger. But if I pour right away I get an okay cup and the rest is much stronger. Also if you grind the coffee beans at time of brewing then you can reduce the amount of grounds by a few teaspoons too! The different strengths of beans and various roasts can be adjusted too. But I do recommend each time a new bean style/flavor is bought to stick with their basic markings before adjusting to taste! 👍I also purchased the filters for it and they were $6 for 350. Those keep the holes from becoming clogged & having to spend time cleaning out the basket. Those actually save how much grounds I need to put in because you get a better brew. The filters are also nontoxic & non bleached plus fully compostable! Highly recommended for those who have disabilities or are on the go a lot! The filters is pre cut & half the thickness of a coffee filter- they work best if you rinse the basket out well & then place directly into the wet basket! Let the filter absorb the water in the basket for about 3seconds & then add your coffee or tea leaves; then drop the basket into pot with pole inside.

July 16, 2025 I purchased this coffee maker January 5, 2025. It made good tasting hot coffee. Buy May It started leaking on the counter if the coffee was left in the pot for a couple of hours. I checked with Amazon and found I was past the return window and was directed to the manufacture, Elite Gourmet. It took me a while, but I finally found customer service on their website. I told them what was happening and sent in my request for a replacement or a refund in an email on June 25th. They sent me a reply email the next day saying, " please allow them to respond in 3 to 5 business days" to respond. Then I forgot about it until July 11th. I sent them another request. They responded saying that they had sent me a request for more information on June 26th, not true. The only response I got from them was the request for more time, then nothing until I emailed them again. They wanted proof of purchase and a picture of the label with date code. I sent them a picture of my order on amazon and the label that same day. That was not enough they wanted a pdf of the invoice. I sent them that and another picture of the label with the date code. Then they requested a picture of the coffee maker with the cord cut and another picture of the label, and my address (which they already had). That was the last straw. I sent them what they asked for and told them how miserable their customer service was and that they made it feel like I was trying to scam them out of a $38 coffee maker. I told them the whole process was frustrating and insulting and that I would never buy another product from Elite Gourmet again. I said my review on Amazon would reflect my frustration, so here it is. Thank you. 9/28/25 To add to my review the new coffee maker is already leaking after only two and a half months of lite use. After the run around Elite Gourmet gave me replacing the first leaking pot, I'm just going to throw it away and buy something else. It would be nice if Amazon would offer me a refund!

Yeah it's a percolator, but it's hard to beat! Of course these are harder to clean than a drip coffee maker. And yeah the heater core is aluminum, along with the cap is a hard plastic. But that doesn't compare to the full plastic components of heating in a normal drip coffee maker that would add more toxins to a general cup of coffee. The cool thing about percolators, is there brewing extraction. You end up using less coffee to make the same amount. I found in the 12 cup, between 32 g and 34 g is ideal for my family. The auto function works perfectly, and on this model the light goes from red to blue when it's in warm mode that stays on for approximately 2 hours. The brewing cycle is between 9-11 minutes. If it doesn't start percolating that water up to that cap within 1-2 minutes, you may not have put the percolator pipe centered in the unit. These are much easier to pack for a trip, and I love these for that reason alone. I, like many people, poke a hole in a normal coffee filter, and measure my coffee into the basket. I use a CR2032 battery that's dead, as I pour grounds into the basket so that way it doesn't go in the hole on the scale:) as far as grounds getting at the bottom a little bit, that's a good trade-off compared to the extraction and the flavor, that can't be matched. And so what?!! just don't drink the last half a cup!! You know you didn't drink the last half a cup on your drip coffee maker because it burned! Also I love this one because of the base easily connecting it and reconnecting it without unplugging it. And I can just hide the base behind something, so it's out of the way and not even on the counter, until I need to use it again. PS. I read a lot of reviews saying the caps would crack, and to get the glass alternative. So I did that. I have yet to put the glass ones on there, because the plastic has never cracked. So I would say that it might not be necessary to get the glass. Anyway, if you have not tried a percolator, or you've had one and want to upgrade, this is the one! enjoy!

Es justo del tamaño que necesito, espero no se descomponga pronto, hasta ahorita ha funcionando bien.

Not EU normed. 110Volt. Don’t get surprised. Information was hidden.

Such a great coffee percolator, the coffee is so hot and flavorful, i love it! Easy to use, easy to clean.

First off, streamlined design. Very simple to use. Basic classic design. 12 cups of coffee in less than five minutes! Hotter than any drip coffee maker I have owned. It turns off in two hours and is easy to reheat. I haven’t found it to turn the coffee bitter when reheated. Very easy to clean and maintain. I also purchased the inner mesh basket suggested and am glad I did. Zero grinds in bottom of pot when you measure correctly to recommended levels and don’t overload coffee grinds. Received many compliments on the coffee and the fresh flavour. Especially the serving temperature. Have used basic Folgers Classic Roast also gourmet specialty coffee blends. Equally delicious! No cons on this percolater for us! Have recommended to those that have tried the coffee and inquired as to the make . I waited a bit to see how this percolater held up and after daily use felt I should share my opinions. This is not a paid review or am I compensated for my review. Just a happy customer! Natasha
