I have the one on the far right. Can you please tell me about it? It was my mother's.

great vid.thanks

Thanks for the video! My mom has one and I was trying to figure out how to work it.

The spring keeps pressure between the top of the filter basket, and the lid to the coffee pot. Much less chance of getting grounds in your brew...

I am delighted that you have new content. These are stressful times and I find your videos soothing. Thank you!

Is that Corning restaurant ware that you're drinking out of? I have a bowl with a red band that looks similar

Proctor Silex right? 😊

Very nice! I also have a Silex that looks a little different than this one. I really want one of the glass rod filters. I currently use a reusable metal filter that I got from Amazon. Some "digiuo" brand or something like that. It does the trick but it makes a lot of noise when the steam goes past the silicone gasket when it really gets rolling.

I found one of these in the box a few weeks ago at Goodwill for 6 bucks. I just got the carafe in that I ordered NOS this afternoon. I've been using it as my daily Brewer for a little over a week with a little CorningWare teapot. The reason I like it is because it brews my coffee much hotter than my newer drip Brewers. I'm going to use it for a while and then put it back in my collection. My little modern six cup Mr coffee is perfect for me and doesn't produce as much waste because I live alone. On the weekends I get one of my vintage units out, usually one of my percolators or my Silex vacuum. This morning I used one of the first gen Corning electromatics.

What a great find!

What is it? I found a CorningWare p-80 today at the value village. Works great. Glad I had a cord for it too because they are hard to find.

You had a Chemex set up first, why didn’t you use it? I just got one of these and I’m considering using a chemex with it.

Enjoyed the review and comparison. Thanks in particular for showing us the reservoir and heating element inside the original and explaining how it works. I had read the earliest Mr. Coffee's functioned somewhat differently from other automatic drips and always wanted to see that in action. Certainly a historically significant model, brand and spokesperson we can look back on appreciatively.

Do you know if they still make/sell the original disc type filters for the Norelco 12?

Judging by the amount of coffee you put in yours I probably put in about 50% more than you did. I also fill the water up to just below the neck, about an inch below. (My manual says to fill it up just below the neck, I don't have cup lines or indicators on my pot). Then I turn off the burner and let it sit for about 3 minutes bubbling on the still hot burner.l. Once I take it off the burner, it siphons down in about a minute so I'm getting a total Brew time of about 4 minutes I would say. Comes out very nice. 😊 (I would say I put in about a tablespoon of coffee per cup).

I have that one in the 9 cup size.

nice vid...thanks

You dont need to see through it to know when its ready. After you make coffee for the first time, you will then know how long it takes for the water to settle down through the coffee and filter. Although it has a vintage/antique look to it, its not that great of a design. I would be concerned with the boiling hot water eventually leaking upon flipping the canister. Overall, it just seems to have more of that pleasant old fashioned appearance to it for presentation purposes. Can probably even make guests or customers think theyre getting a higher-end made coffee cause it comes out of a somewhat intricate-looking device

What kind of drip coffeemakers would you recommend that makes a classic cup of coffee with little bitterness. I haven’t liked pour over coffee. I have heard that a percolator makes stronger or bitter coffee. I have tried almost all of the Cuisinart coffeemakers and haven’t had much luck. They either leak or taste like plastic. I’m having a problem choosing something else because I didn’t want to spend a fortune but want good tasting coffee that is smith not bitter and strong. I have also already tried Keruig but not what I would like. Do you have any suggestions for all the problems I am having. Bunn is good, but lately they have had the plastic taste problems that never go away. I had that with Braun brewsense as well. Thank you for your video!!

thanks for the coffee dance party :D

You need to back the heat off once it starts to perc. !

Can you use this on the stove top without the heating element?

There's one of these at my local antique store for $50. It's a little more fancy looking than this, but also a silex. It's not in the box, but I'm pretty sure it is never or very barely used, because it has the instruction booklet with it as well as a small pack of cloth disc "trial filters" that came with it originally. It doesn't have the "phallic glass rod filter" either 😂. I bought several antique percolators, and I'm pretty sure that's my next purchase in a few weeks when I get paid if someone doesn't grab it first.

Does the Westbend have coffee ratios under the spout?

Great video

Ha, that looks like very strong tea. That (presumably) cold plate probably worked against you, rapidly cooling the lower chamber. I use a old Bodum vacuum pot on a gas stove with an induction plate inbetween. I like the plate because it retains some heat after turning off the gas, so the bottom chamber gets cooler slower and extends the time before it pulls the vacuum. (and with it the brew time) I also hope easing in and out of hot temperatures extends the lifetime of the thing, I know these vacuum pots were built for heat changes but they're also old and hard to replace so I try to shock the glass as little as possible. The Bodum came with a rack, perfect for letting it come up to drinking temp on it's own.

i grew up with one of those. it made great coffee.

Loved my new to my vintage farberware superfast electric percolator. Forgot to put water in my percolator this morning and cooked the thermostat ( heating element) . Any ideas on how to track down a new thermostat for a model 13b.

Man its a dream to find one of those

You don't know how happy I am to watch this and see that the pot never boils! A lot of people that make these videos on percolators just boil that water like crazy and I think that room's the coffee. Thank you!

neat looking pot

I had this percolator. I don't remember where I bought it but it lwas probably 25 years ago. It made good coffee. I have always been fascinated by glass percolator since I was a kid. I now perk in Pyrex flameware percolators and am still fascinated watching them do their magic. These types of coffee makers come from a time when making coffee was more than pushing a button. Nice collection in the background! Thanks for the video.

I found an identical one in a charity (thrift) shop today, in England, I was delighted. Like yours, it seems never to have been used. Making a brew now ☕ ❤

LESS GOOO!

“Why is our electric bill so high this month?”

I adore the sound of percolators! I have a jet-o-matic from the 50s in its original box. It makes quite a funny noise compared to some of my other coffee percolators. Have a great day sir thank you for sharing!

So good to see new content from you. I was a latecomer to your original Thrift Store Perk series, but thoroughly enjoyed it and still re-watch those from time to time. It is heartwarming to see such appreciation for vintage coffeemakers, especially electric percolators. Thanks for this entertaining race between pots. Looking forward to any and all future reviews, coffee-tasting comparisions and simulated brewing time competitions. All the best. God bless.

Thank you for this great review. I loved Faberware percolators and just picked up a vintage percolator yesterday minus the cord. I gained some valuable tips with your lesson.

I bought the same one but with a different design at an antiques fair yesterday. I can't wait to brew coffee in it.

Mine has two parts to the filter part. And was wondering how it all fills with grounds

Mine is missing the thin black cap on the top , do i really need it? Also how do you put in a filter if the center has a tube coming up?

I had one of those!!

I really appreciate the informative video, but I gotta say dude. These pots were made to sit on a warm burner. So yes, I'm sure it did cool down considerably sitting on a table top. You must be under 50 years old. I was raised in a house with a drip pot, and have used one my whole life. The coffee is so much better in a drip pot than these new electric pots. Thanks for the info tho!

Ive found that putting a good handful of ice into the pot, makes it perk a bit longer, giving you a much stronger cup of Joe. I have the 8 cup model. Best cup of coffee for sure...

I just picked up an 8 cup version of this percolator at a thrift store for $3.00. One thing I noticed that's a little different, the diffuser that distributes water on top of the basket actually slides into it to sit directly on top of the coffee grounds. I have a number of these stove tops but have never seen this before. I can't see if there is any advantage one way or the other.

I think a reason your percolator is so pristine is that on the older electric stoves you had to use a metal, triangular coil beneath the pot. Couldn't make coffee without it

I have the Norelco 12 coffee maker, but it came with the dial a brew basket and no lid. I'm looking for the brew basket and lid for it. I've looked on ebay, but only seen the whole machine or the dial a brew basket.

My grandma has this percolator and I have never seen her use it. Now I know why lol
