12 Cup Cordless Perculator Coffee Maker

Cuisinart PRC-121.The cuisinart.com website does NOT carry info on this perc, so itMIGHT be already discontinued. The item is GOOD, so were I you, Iwould buy 1 or 2 while they are still available. Good things seemto get discontinued.2.The thing has a glass top, so you can monitor the progress of theboil. A watched pot never boils, I hasten to add.3.The advantage of a percolator over the contemporary drip process,which seems to be the most common in households and in many shopsthat I’ve seen, is that the COFFEE gets maximum exposure to waterpassing over it. The re-use of the same water means that you gainmore coffee strength/flavor/taste/oils/whatever. Rather than tossa batch of coffee grinds (either freshly-ground or store-bought),which is what you do after ONE in a drip coffee-maker, you get to’save’ the SAME coffee grinds for ANOTHER pass-through of the hotwater. You cannot do that with a drip machine, since their water-tank does not allow you to pour into it the recently brewed waterthat just came out of it (would gum up the tank’s lining, maybe).4.See? You don’t have to WASTE slightly used coffee grinds (1 use),and you don’t have to somehow MANUALLY recycle hot coffee throughthe same grinds again since the perc process does it automatical-ly, and you can SEE your coffee being made through the glass top.5.Once you lay out an initial investment for this durable appliance(far less than what you’d pay in a year for a 50-cent coffee cup)you come out ahead in terms of RICH FLAVOR and less waste of goodcoffee grinds. The aroma and sound of the perc sure beats a drip.6.In case you prefer (or must) save every penny on outlay, you havethe Cuisinart model PRC-4 to consider. ASIN: B000A7OQVC 2-4 cups.
