    Corrosion at the heating element

    My first Cuisinart PRC-12 percolator was delivered in December 2020. I really like the product but I’m experiencing corrosion at the heating element nut. I’ve been working with the Cuisinart customer service (they are EXCEPTIONALLY helpful). They have sent me two replacement units thus far. The problem is each unit has the same corrosion issue. Around 14 days corrosion begins and after around 40 days the corrosion is bad. I keep hoping the next replacement won’t corrode as I really like this unit. It’s important to note that I rinse EVERY piece with fresh water after EVERY use then dry them.

    Clear plastic top breaks. Too expensive to fix.

    This is my second one of these. There is a clear plastic piece at the top that breaks at just over a year. It costs between 15 and 30$ to replace. If it was glass or was made to last, would love to buy again. Great coffee maker until that crucial piece breaks.

    Excellent compared to Farberware 12 Cup

    We've been using coffee percolators for 15 years. We've been through 3 Farberware 12 cups in that time and the quality has been steadily deteriorating with every purchase and use. Having return the 4th replacement to Macys it was refreshing to buy this Cuisinart model which is clearly back to the quality we expect. Great perc time, efficient heating, elegant pouring spout and above all a really strong and lasting build quality. For sure we won't be going back to Farberware especially as the price was less as well.

    Best Electric Perk

    It's getting harder and harder to find a 12 cup, stainless steel, electric perculator coffee pot. This Cuisinart is perfect. It brews a great tasting cup of coffee. I think it does a better job than my drip coffee maker. We got this for our RV. I didn't want a glass carafe because we bounce our RV down the road. I don't have to worry about anything breaking with this pot. I can't say enough good things about this "old time" electric perk pot.
