Review on ☕ Durably Crafted Primula Today Aluminium Stovetop Percolator Maker for Brewing 9 Cups of Coffee by Mark Hicks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Probably good for camping or emergencies.

Looks like a vintage Mirro listed on eBay. There is no cup level marking on either the inside or outside of this Primula model. Limited instructions suggest not pouring water down the first three openings on the neck (inside) to avoid boiling over. There's no name on it anywhere. The packaging says Made in China. When first used there was a residue/stain on the inside of the pot. The inner surface seems to be unfinished for this. On the plus side, the stem, basket, and basket lid are all aluminum, not plastic like the similar Imusa I've seen at Walmart. The handle of the perforator is made of plastic at the top. I bought a glass pen instead of a plastic pen. This model seems too weak to me. It says 9 cups, but it depends on what "cup" means. I get about two large cups.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • No
