Review on ☕ Stainless Steel Capresso 12-Cup Percolator Coffee Maker by Anthony Hopkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Shocking comparison

After evaluating all the percolators on offer, I chose this model because it is 100% stainless steel and glass. I used it for about a month and noticed that my kitchen always had a strange smell and no coffee aroma. I bought a Westbend coffee maker from a local discount store and tried them side by side. What I found was disturbing. I used identical cups and poured the same amount of coffee from each machine into separate cups. They were about the same strength and temperature. But when I poured 2 cups at the end I got a shock. The coffee from the espresso machine left a dark stain on the cup that wasn't easy to remove. The same cup that contained coffee from a Westbend coffee maker left nothing in the cup. That's when I packed the Capresso. I have no idea what caused the stain or the weird smell but I don't want to use it.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Dubious purchase for the elderly
