Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Medelco 8 cup Stovetop Glass Percolator
Customer Review: good product, could have been great
Summary: 3 Stars
I love my coffee pot, I purchased it to make tea. It makes a nice strong brew and I enjoy the vintage look and the fact that I can see the strength of my tea. A word of caution. It comes with a metal ring stuck inside the flap of the box. This is to be used as a trivet whenever brewing on an electric stove. I didn't realize this at first, and brewed my first pot without it. Happily no harm was done,and my pot didn't break as a result of the intense heat.
Now my problems with the pot: The lid is plastic, and because of the heat, it seems to have expanded. It no longer fits snuggly on. So far this hasn't been a huge problem,and I am hoping that it is finished expanding. Also, this morning I emptied the pot into my husband's cup and placed the pot back on the burner...big mistake. Even though the burner was off, the residual heat melted the bottom of my percolator insert. I should have known better. I think had there been some tea left in the pot, there wouldn't have been a problem. All in all, I don't know if I would purchase this pot again. I think I'd rather shop around thrift stores until I find an authentic vintage pyrex percolator with metal insert. "They just don't make things the way they used to!" For now, I'm shopping for a metal insert for this one.
