I a hard time finding a coffeemaker that is made in the United States. Bunn was the only other one including this one but this one is manufactured in 1941. Pyrex Percolator – made in the USA. It may take a few minutes more than an electric coffeemaker (actually about 20 minutes) but it tastes much better, no matter what kind of coffee you like, and you never have to flush clean a coffeemaker. I saw a commercial for CLR the other day, demonstrating how to clean your coffeemaker with this toxic product. And then you’re supposed to brew coffee through that? And drink it? Multiple cups? I don’t think so that’s why a lot of people don’t even clean the coffee makers. This item here is brand new comes with everything you see pictured . A lot of people have forgotten how to percolate coffee because we have gotten away from doing it for convenience or lot of people would say they don’t like sediment in the brew. My great grandmother would tell me you can prevent sediment in your coffee by running cold water through the percolator basket before adding coffee and you know what works👍 It is also very important to use the heat sspreader grid when only using a rangetop. Which is also closed and with directions. The coffee taste absolutely delicious no matter what brand you use it does take 20 minutes though but it’s worth the wait.
