If you're a lover of CW as I am (Spice Of Life being my preferred pattern), then you'll love this percolator! This particular model was not among the recalled ones (whose top band and upper parts were in danger of becoming unglued), because the metal band containing the handle is simply wrapped around the body of the pot. Enjoying a cup of percolated coffee reminds me of my youth - the days before automatic drip grind, when your cup of coffee was actually HOT when poured, and you had the satisfaction of watching the coffee get consistently darker as it "perked". My pot, though discontinued decades ago, was in excellent condition - allowing me to add to my collection of Corning Ware without regretting not having purchased this long ago. Thanks eBay!

This little percolator is in like new condition and looks as if it came right out of the box! Because it is completely ceramic except for the handle and the strap that holds the handle, it was not part of the big Corning recalls in the 70s. There are no stains, chips, or cracks in this coffee maker, and it is low-tech--no electric parts to die or break. I bought it more for its graceful design than to actually use, but it will come in mighty handy if my electric percolator breaks down. I collect Corning Ware because it is better than anything else I can find in the stores. For example, I can use the 6 1/2" fry pan in the morning to fix scrambled eggs or fried eggs on the stovetop, and then I can eat right out of the attractive little fry pan. I can also heat something in the microwave in the individual pans or bake in the oven with them. I have not found anything made today that is so versatile and durable! I need the little pans with handles because I have arthritis that makes lifting bowls from the microwave or oven difficult. So Corning Ware works for me all around! All I need now is a set of the Grab It plates. That comes next.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Corning didn't dis-design this version. The metal lid with glass perk cap stays on (watch out, it does get hot and for common sense keep a finger close to the cap when pouring) and the coffee turns out perfect (Hills Bros). Because the one piece ceramic body flares above and below the handle attachment band, nothing falls off or becomes detached. No plastic to come in contact with the coffee. Great fun to watch it perk. Wish they still made them, in case I break this one and need to replace it again (Hi, Mom!) To keep it clean just add Clorox bleach to hot water, let it set and viola! like new again. Will eventually try to find one for myself. Thank goodness for this seller.

Was happy to find a replacement for my mom's pot which got broken. This style is hard to come by.
