Elite Gourmet EHC-5055 Automatic Brew & Drip Coffee Maker with Pause N Serve Reusable Filter, On/Off Switch, Water Level Indicator, Black

Love it!
It percolates and makes coffee. The rest is up to you. I use freshly ground beans . I’ve timed how long it takes experimented with the amount of coffee I like for the cup of coffee I enjoy. One big tip I can share with anyone who doesn’t have experience with this kind of coffee maker. You need to season it kind of like a cast iron skillet. Fill The basket and percolate it for a good hour. Let it sit all night with that strong coffee in there and from here on out just rinse it no need to scrub with soap and water. I do run a small brush threw the stem about once a week to ensure it doesn’t get clogged up over time with buildup. With a little care this will be the last time you’ll ever buy a coffee maker. I am the only coffee drinker in my house so I generally only make four cups but I can make 8 cups when I have company that may enjoy coffee. Keep in mind this is referring to 8 oz cups Most people drink almost if not double that amount in their morning coffee mug. That’s something you should consider and buy the right size coffee pot for your household needs. It’s not as convenient or time efficient as a drip coffee pot. But in my opinion and taste and those are very subjective to each person with that in mind , this makes a much better cup of coffee and worth the extra effort to me. From the time I start till I’m pouring my coffee in the cup including grinding the beans is about 20 min. I set a timer and its ready when I go out the for work. Also you should let it sit a few minutes before pouring so any grounds that sneak through the basket settle to the bottom and will not end up in your cup unless you pour the last little bit in it, If you use a coarse ground coffee you don’t need a filter so in my opinion this gives you a much better cup of coffee because the filter takes away some of the oils that add flavor to your coffee. But if you’re happy with store-bought already ground coffee, get the filters that they sell for these and it works just fine. After reading through some of the negative reviews ones that says this makes a horrible cup of coffee that is 100% user error. I did see reports of the electric one leaking keep in mind I am reviewing the stove top version One lady said the glass on top broke there any number of reasons for this but I have not had any issues with mine possibly she got a cracked one? A few people stated that the handle caught on fire or melted I think this would really be subject to the size of your burner or possibly an electric burner If you had a larger diameter circle of fire or heat than the outside diameter of your actual coffee pot this could very easily be an issue. So use a little caution and place your coffee pot so the handle isn’t directly over flames reaching around the pot or heat traveling straight up from an electric burner to the handle. With a gas stove this could be circumvented with placement as well as not turning the heat up so high that the circle of fire is bigger than the coffee pot. Someone said the experienced wobble as if the metal was probably too thin and it didn’t work right for them I’m guessing they had it on a electric burner? I have not experienced this on my gas burner. People also mention the metallic taste one person even said hopefully after a few uses and washings that will go away that will not go away if you do not season your coffee maker. From what I saw The majority of bad reviews for this coffee maker come from user error on the opinion based on lack of experience with this type of coffee maker. I am not saying this is the best one ever made It is a moderate priced stove top stainless steel percolator. The one I received the build quality was fine It does what is designed to do. If you say your pot makes crappy pasta chances are you are just not good at cooking pasta take a little time and learn how to do it right and you will enjoy it.

Nice
I needed a small coffee maker for a friend who is staying with me for awhile and this one fits the bill. I’ve run plain water through it a couple of times and it heats up fast. I doubt that it’s possible to get 5 cups of coffee from it…more like 2 mugs but it’s totally fine for my needs.

Muy buena cafetera, también la uso para te, hay funcionado a la perfeccion

El tamaño ideal para poder contar con un buen café

Haven’t been able to find a decent percolator for ages. In 1978, I was made to purchase a filter/cone machine to replace defunct (over 20 years) electrical 12 cups percolator (it was GE brand). Strangely enough, percolators disappeared off the shelves around the 1980s. Only commercial ones were available.Recently, our last filter/cone drip coffee machine died after 6 years. Needless to say, I didn’t want another one which doesn’t keep coffee warm long enough.Therefore, my search for the perfect percolator… With the EC008 Stovetop model from Elite Gourmet, it was the perfect choice. I use my single 1500W hotplate unit. 30minutes from beginning to end on MAX. Simply amazing!Cannot fault it at all. Easy to use, easy to clean and the 8 cups quantity gives each of us 2 full cups. The flavour is definitely better than drip. It enhances the ground coffee here in UK. I definitely recommend 👍👍👍
