From The Manufacturer

Experience the taste of bold, flavorful coffee with the Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 12 Cup Percolator. Before single serve and automatic drip coffee makers, there was the percolator. Remember the perking sounds of freshly brewing coffee? Better yet, how about the bold, hot coffee it produced? Coffee brewed in the Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 12 Cup Percolator is still just as satisfying but takes a lot less time to brew than the percolators of old. Hot, Flavorful Coffee Fast Brews 12 cups in less than a minute per cup. Dishwasher-safe stainless steel permanent filter basket is included. Keeps Coffee Hot Ready-to-serve light indicates coffee is ready and gentle keep warm setting has begun. Easy Pouring Cool touch handle and drip-free spout for easy pouring. Detachable Cord Easy tabletop serving and storage with detachable cord. Easy Filling Measurement marks on the inside make for clear and easy filling. Versatile: Not Just For Brewed Coffee! Heat 12 cups of water for tea, hot cocoa, or instant coffee.
