Elite Gourmet EC812G Green
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Presto 02811 Electric Percolator delivers fast one-cup-per-minute brewing with an automatic keep-warm function and a convenient ready-indicator light. Its capacity details can be confusing and it only accepts ground coffee, limiting flexibility. Best suited for users who value speed and simplicity in a compact electric percolator.
The Elite Gourmet EC812G is a 12-cup stainless-steel electric percolator that brews quickly and offers convenient features like a 360° swivel base and automatic keep-warm. However, it lacks detailed power specifications and carries a California Prop 65 lead-exposure warning. It is best suited for retro-style enthusiasts and larger households that prioritize speed and easy serving.
