Customers are enthusiastic about the 12-Cup Automatic Percolator for its ability to brew great-tasting coffee quickly. However, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the auto shut-off feature, which turns the coffee maker off after pouring, preventing the coffee from staying hot.

Received this coffee Percolater around the first of September and it burned last night October 31. Only use it 3 times a week. last night while making a pot of coffee I happened to look in the direction of the coffee pot and saw that the red light on it had turned to a purple color, and the base started smoking.

Hello,
Please note that once the percolator is removed from the base, it will reset and shut off. Press the power button again to maintain the Keep Warm function.

Poor quality percolator

I tried to return this coffee maker. Even with a filter there was a lot of coffee grounds in any cup. The manual says to use "coarse ground coffee." Most commercial coffee is a fine grind. I did not want to buy a coffee grinder. Best Buy would not let me return the machine.

I love percolator coffee normally. This pot does nothing postive for the taste. Percolator coffee pots normally make coffee with a full body flavor but not a strong bitter taste like the Elite Platinum Pot. I have used the pot twice, wish I could return the pot.

Lasted for 6 years before it started to fail. It still works but it leaks something awful. I would be happier if it lasted longer but thats not bad. Other than the leaking it still work great.

Good for coffee but leaks!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Have had this percolator for 15 months. Only use it for parties. It makes good coffee indeed. Unfortunately it now started leaking from the button to the base that tripped my GFCI. It's out of 12 months warranty so I have to let this one go. Wish this percolator has better quality that will last longer.

Makes Great Coffee

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Love this Percolator, it makes great coffee but you have to clean out the filter when done. It takes more time than a regular coffee maker but the difference in taste is worth it. You do get some coffee grounds in the bottom of your cup but it doesn't seem to bug anyone in my house. Good product.

Absolute garbage--DO NOT BUY

Do not buy this unadulterated piece of garbage.
The first one I bought leaked, and stopped working in about a month.
The replacement leaked even worse, and stopped working in a couple weeks.
I can't fathom how a company can successfully sell such a dysfunctioning fail of a product.

Hello,
Thank you! for taking the time to review the Elite Platinum. Your feedback is very important to us and is greatly appreciated. Never fill the percolator above the maximum level since hot foaming coffee or other liquids might overflow during heating.
Please feel free to contact our Customer Care at [email protected], if we could be of any further assistance.

After 1 year the base that is attached to the pot broke and the company will not sell me a replacement part - they told me to buy a new one !!
