Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Like many of you, I have searched for a percolator that is 100% stainless steel. Reading the reviews of this one, some said it was stainless; some said it was not, and so on. The box states that it is stainless steel. It appears to be stainless steel, except that it is possible that the bolt and well in the bottom (see the picture) are aluminum. I am only judging by the way it feels to the touch and the look of it. Someone said they thought the piece at the top was plastic and not glass. Just feeling of it is hard to tell. Short of actually hitting it on something hard to see if it breaks (well, no!), I tapped it on my teeth, and it is glass. As far as the coffee itself, it makes a good hot cup of coffee. I have tried the Farberware percolator, but it would stop "perking" too soon, and the coffee would be more like strong tea. Just as a disclaimer, I was using the Farberware 2-4 cup pot. I like this Mixpresso percolator because I can make only four cups, and it still turns out great. Also, the brand and type of coffee used has a profound effect on the taste. I have been using Gevalia coffee. All-in-all, I have been very pleased with the Mixpresso. I hope this review helps you as you search for a good cup of coffee!
