Best Coffee Percolators of 2025

"After using drip coffee makers for 30 years, I decided to give this percolator a try based on its great reviews. I absolutely love it! No more paper filters, it's easy to clean, and it makes coffee quickly that tastes great! Just a suggestion for an insulated thermos to keep it hot longer, but overall, I’m a very happy customer!"

"I really wanted to like this percolator after using them for decades. It brews a nice, hot, flavorful cup of coffee, and it's easy to clean. However, I find that getting the top off is challenging, and I'm worried about the black knob breaking. Also, I have to remove all baskets before pouring to avoid messing up my coffee."

"I ordered a used 'like new' coffee maker, but it arrived in worse condition than expected. While it does make a nice cup of coffee, I'm disappointed with the quality. I had a burning issue with the cord, which was dangerous, and I received no response from customer service. Definitely not worth the risk—avoid this product!"

"My family has owned this percolator for six years now, purchased right here on Amazon in 2010. I'm about to buy another one for work. This pot has consistently delivered the best tasting coffee - better than any restaurant or friend's brew. I've encountered a couple of minor maintenance issues, but they were easily resolved. Overall, this has been a super-reliable and very inexpensive appliance. Honestly, this is one of my favorite appliance purchases ever for less than $40!"

"I find this percolator to be excellent. It's easy to use and serve coffee. Unlike glass carafe machines, this type heats coffee properly and gives a better flavor by managing higher temperatures. This should be the standard for all coffee makers, plus it’s more eco-friendly and cost-effective in the long run since you can use it without a filter."

"This percolator makes great coffee, but unfortunately, mine broke after just six months. It’s disappointing since I really enjoyed using it."

"I've had this unit for over five years and absolutely LOVE IT! It makes wonderful, VERY hot coffee that elevates even mediocre brands. The taste is OUTSTANDING! It's reliable, fast, and easy to clean. Plus, it produces just the right amount of coffee without waste, which is important with coffee prices today."

"I remember my family using stovetop percolators, so I decided to get this one for the colder months. It brews bolder, more flavorful coffee that stays warm longer. Cleanup is simple, and I appreciate that it doesn’t require coffee filters. It’s definitely worth the investment and helps me save money on coffee shop runs!"

"I decided to try this after my drip coffee maker failed. So far, it has made my coffee smoother and richer. In just 3-4 minutes, I have steaming hot coffee ready to enjoy. The lid is easy to remove and it's straightforward to clean. It makes the perfect amount for two cups!"

"I bought this to have in my bedroom to make coffee first thing in the morning. The size is perfect for a small table and it's easy to use and clean. The coffee turns out great as well. I would recommend leaving the lid open after use so that the reservoir can dry during the time it's not being used. This machine can be used with any 14-ounce cup easily. The travel mug is great too. Furthermore, the machine has an auto shut off, which is a nice feature to have."

"I really enjoyed how quick and clean this coffee maker is. The coffee, especially with the travel cup, was perfect for my cruise experience. No more weak or warm coffee from the boat."

"I have wanted one of these for ages. For some reason, you couldn't get them. Then I spotted this on Amazon. It works well on my induction rings thanks to the flat bottom. Very sturdy and well made. There's something about coffee from a percolator. It arrived when stated, well packaged. Will last a long time if looked after and it looks great in my kitchen."

"I was tired of lukewarm coffee, so I decided to try the Farberware 50124 Classic Yosemite Stainless Steel Percolator. After six months of use, I can confidently say that the coffee it brews is better than any coffee shop. The quality of this percolator is impressive for the price, especially compared to others I found locally that seemed cheap. It fits perfectly on my stove, and my coffee aroma has my friends asking for a cup!"

"Having been fed up with tepid drip coffee, I turned to the Farberware percolator and couldn't be happier. It brews a great cup of hot coffee that beats everything I've had in town. I love how it sits perfectly on my electric stove, and after eight months, I've never had a complaint. It's such a joy to make coffee with this pot!"

"This Farberware 50124 eight cup percolator really impresses me with its quality and craftsmanship. It has been a while since I’ve seen something built so well. The functionality is excellent, and the coffee it produces is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid coffee maker!"

"I never thought a percolator could change my mornings until I tried the Elite Gourmet 6-Cup Coffee Percolator. It has truly transformed the quality of my coffee and made brewing an enjoyable experience. The stainless steel design not only looks great but ensures cleanliness, and my coffee tastes better than ever!"

"I bought this product twice, once in October and again in December. The first percolator worked wonderfully until my child accidentally got it wet. I was frustrated but decided to buy another one, only to find it malfunctioning after just a few uses. I'm disappointed after spending nearly $90 combined on these coffee makers."

"This is just the right size for me. I hope it remains reliable; so far, it has been functioning well!"

"I was excited when I purchased this last year. I've been using it for about 10 months, but unfortunately, it has shorted out. I'm now looking for a different brand since I've never experienced this with other units. Buyer beware!"

"I can definitely taste the effects of plastic in my coffee from Mr. Coffee. It's frustrating because I've enjoyed great coffee from a traditional percolator in the past. All-metal parts make a huge difference—my coffee is now awesome! Mr. Coffee just can't compete!"

"I liked the heat level and the coffee was made in good time. However, I found the spout location too close to the top, causing the coffee to pour out as a small stream. Unfortunately, it led to grounds entering my cup. I’ll be returning it."

"I'm really pleased with this product. My coffee experience has improved since switching from a Keurig to this stainless steel percolator. The biodegradable filters make cleanup a breeze, and I love that I can use it on various heat sources. Although my husband still prefers his Keurig, I've significantly reduced our plastic waste!"

"I'm thrilled with my purchase! The coffee it brews is fantastic, and I've used it on both my kitchen stove and a camping stove without any issues. It's perfect for gatherings, making enough coffee for everyone with ease. Plus, the silicone grip adds safety when handling it. Overall, a very positive experience with the product!"

"I absolutely love this percolator! It brews delicious coffee and is well-made. However, I did notice that the lid can pop off if the heat is too high, which can be a bit concerning. I've adjusted my brewing method to avoid this. Still, it looks great and makes excellent coffee!"

“So far, I’m really enjoying this percolator! I received it just a day ago and have already made a full pot, a 6-cup pot, and a 4-cup pot. Each time, the coffee was delicious, it was easy to clean, and the brewing time was just right. Plus, I didn’t need any pods!”

“I love using this stainless steel percolator! As a trucker, I brew my coffee every morning on the road and it performs very well. The only reason I rated it four stars is that the cover fits a bit loosely. If I’m not careful while pouring, coffee can spill out from the top. I’m not sure if it’s just my unit or a common issue, but I’m keeping it anyway.”

“I’m absolutely thrilled with this coffee maker! It arrived quickly, was easy to set up, and I started brewing right away. The coffee is at the perfect temperature, and I love that it doesn't take up much counter space compared to my old Keurig. It’s easy to clean and looks much nicer too!”

"I love my new glass percolator! It brings back fond memories of learning to drink coffee with my Daddy! The fabulous aroma and the sound of coffee perking are just delightful. This pot is a perfect complement to my kitchen and I enjoy making perfect iced tea with it too!"

"I decided to purchase this after reading numerous positive reviews. I originally used a Mr. Coffee drip machine, but the coffee from this percolator is now the best tasting I’ve ever made at home. After measuring, I discovered the cup sizes differ, and now I fill to the 6 cup mark for just the right amount. The coffee is strong and delightful, making my mornings much better!"

"I took a chance on this percolator after my kcup broke. I wanted something different and was pleasantly surprised! My coffee is now super strong and brews quickly. I was initially worried about the plastic parts, but they’ve held up well. Plus, the packaging was excellent; it arrived safely despite delivery mishaps!"
