 "Need a replacement" 2009-12-10
By Joe Krotick (Pa.)
They don't make things like they used to. New percolators come with junk for glass tops. You have to keep replacements around. This one will work. But you might as well buy a couple, because surely you'll need to replace the replacement. My mother has my Grandmother and Great Grandmothers percolators. The tops on those are old and you could tell its of great quality. No room for pride and quality in todays industry. Quick,cheep, and easy. Thats the way of the present and future.

 "More fragile than it looks!" 2009-11-11
By Danene Ruggiero
Although the price is right, these tops break quite easily. You cannot pull the top of the coffee pot off using this top as I have broken 4 of them already by doing so. So, if you can remember NOT to pull the top off with this glass piece, you'll be fine!

By D. W. Harper (La Mesa, CA)
This really enhanced the percolator I bought it for. The only negative is the cost of shipping was more than the cost of the item.

 "Prospective Buyers Beware" 2009-10-31
By G. S. Hall (Highland, Md USA)
This top is marketed as fitting Farberware electric percolators. They show it conjoined in the picture as a suggested option leaving the impression that it fits, is functional and possibly improves appearance. The Farberware electric percolator that I recently bought through Amazon has a top lid with no opening - completely solid. Thus, if the glass top being marketed here fit at all, which it does not, all it could ever be is decorative. This is a very annoying product misrepresentation; the blame should be borne equally by the vendor and Amazon for not adequately researching the compatibility of items they market together.

 "works perfectly" 2009-10-28
By frank gyure
the original plastic percolator top broke long ago,and the plastic replacement was cracked and leaking. I wanted to replace it expecting another plastic top ( which I knew was going to crack eventually). So I was surprised when I saw that a GLASS top was available. I was a little worried if it would fit,work well etc. But it works PERFECTLY. My pot is the Farberware.I highly recommend this.!!!!!

 "BIALETTI MUSA EXPRESSO POT: Threads are off set: POOR quality" 2010-01-01
By M. Debello (USA)
You can tell this unit came off of a speedy assembly line. Cheap plastic handle which is held by a single screw that continually needs to be tightened & the machine threads of the two sections of the pot are offset so the coffee pot sits at angle & does not seal. From reading past posts I can see that about 60% of the units have this problem. Complete waste of money.

 "Poorly made, expensive for such inadequate quality." 2009-12-27
By Marcela Barbagelata (FL USA)
This product is product is extremely overprice for such poor quality. The performance of this coffee maker is abysmal.



The big issue is that wont seal properly even after applying good amount of force, about 30% the water gets release on joints instead of going up.



I saw a bialleti made of aluminum original from Italy and they look at least 5 times better quality that this one that is made on India, just look the difference on the plastics, the finishing and side valve.



Now I have to buy another coffee maker of this because does not work, and I'm unable to return this because a bought this from a amazon third party seller.



Go a buy the aluminium version .. not this.

 "Just what it is supposed to be" 2008-11-22
By oxalis (Oregon)
I appreciate a purchase that is exactly what it claims to be, and that is what the Bialetti Venus is. I understand that some connoisseurs dislike the coffee produced by stainless steel, but comparing coffee that comes out of this with that from an aluminum Bialetti, I find the Venus produces a less brash cuppa. It seems sturdy and I don't foresee replacing it for a very long time. Moreover, it looks great and brews fast. The best coffee-making tool I have owned.

 "poor performance" 2008-07-03
By cjs (USA)
I have an aluminum model and I have not had any problems for years. I merely wanted an upgrade. I was skeptical of this model based on others reviews, and I received one of the bad ones. For whatever reason it just didn't work. Odd as there are minimal parts, and I checked for obvious clogs, etc. and there did not appear to be any. Perhaps it was the over pressure valve, etc.



I went with another option instead, and wouldn't recommend this product, as I had to pay shipping 2x (initial and return) and it isn't worth rolling the dice.

 "Stainless espresso maker" 2008-01-12
By Cat Lady (Michigan)
We bought this for our Mom for Christmas. It was difficult to find a stainless steel espresso maker at retail stores, they were all aluminum. The design, looks and functionality are what we were hoping to find. The price was fantastic and our Mom is very pleased with it. She frequently uses it with her girlfriends so the 6 cup capacity is just what she was looking for. We like it so much we want one too. Great product, great price!

 "Great But Not Stupid Proof" 2009-11-08
By Stephen (Southern CA)
The pot is well made. I would have liked a slightly heavier gauge but in reality it's not necessary. I will qualify my review with "we use it for camping only." I got tired of the cup at a time plastic REI setup and upgraded to this so I wouldn't spend too much of my AM time making coffee for everyone.



The bummer on this pot is the plastic dome. I ordered 2 glass ones when I got the pot. The one from Goodman's came properly packaged in a box the other one came in an envelope and was DOA. I'd recommend looking for a small town general store to buy one from and save the bone crushing postage.



You need to use the proper grind for a percolated coffee pot without a course grind you will end up drinking sludge when you get to the bottom 1/3 of your cup. When the water boils and the percolating process begins; turn down the heat on your coffee pot! The water should boil so it percolates, not sound like a locomotive running at full speed.



I like very strong coffee and even with the basket totally full and the right dark roast beans I can't get the stomach searing full flavor that I get from my home machine. For this I rate the product 4 stars. For those of you who like standard brewed coffee, this shouldn't be a problem.

 "Makes good coffee" 2009-10-21
By Gatorman
We purchased this percolator to replace our electric drip maker. My wife mainly uses it and so far she likes it. We haven't used it enough to see if the plastic bulb at the top has any problems as some reviewers have said. If so, we'll purchase the glass replacement. This percolator seems to make better coffee than the drip models. Probably because the water actually boils and is immediately sent through the coffee. We use it on our gas stove and it works fine. Just follow the instructions... as others mentioned, wet the strainer before putting in coffee to avoid grounds in your finished drink. Let the water boil, then turn down to low for 5-7 minutes. So far, we like this one...

 "Pricey But Works" 2009-10-19
By Bruce
I gave it 3 out of 5 or "average."



It's a little pricey for what you get, but works as advertised.



MSRP $34.95

Weight: 21.5 oz.

Materials: stainless steel, plastics.

Country of origin: China



Was aware of lid falling off & easy workaround(simply bend the prongs on lid out.) No problems there.



Wanted glass percolator top-- (OEM percolator top is plastic.) The "Fitz-All"--model 135- glass percolator top (recommended by amazon.com) fits onto the original lid just fine.



***You don't need to buy the recommended `replacement lid' to have the glass percolator top!*** :)



As others mention, biggest drawback is no fill indicators for water inside pot. Worse is fact that fill marks on outside are hidden behind the handle! (Not a very good design imo.) For DYI types, I'll share how I got indicator marks on inside of coffee pot at end of review.



Summary:

If you're on a budget, this coffee maker & recommended glass percolator top might be "best bang for your buck." For those who want fill marks & glass percolator top ready made... best look at other brands.



--------

Workaround for fill marks:

--------



Don't want to keep guessing at amount of water when half awake? Following is one way to get fill marks to show on inside of pot. As with any DYI project, caution is the word & do so at your own risk to possibly denting your coffee maker!



1.) Remove handle. 2.) Notch a 2x4 for rim of coffee pot so that the wall of pot sits *flush* on the wood. 3.) Secure 2x4 to vice, use C-clamps on workbench, etc. 4.) Position coffee pot on 2x4 so that outside fill marks face up. 5.) Position small finishing screwdriver on horizontal fill marks. (IMPORTANT: Blade of screwdriver MUST be same width as fill marks, or risk denting wall of coffee pot!) 6.) Use rubber mallet or small hammer to lightly but firmly tap screwdriver positioned on each outside fill mark. 7.) Examine inside of pot. Fill lines visible? If not be patient & repeat. Took me three careful taps before I could see them, but didn't want to risk denting outside by tapping too hard.

 "Overall - Pretty Good" 2009-10-11
By W. Boyko (Monroe, CT)
Overall - Pretty Good



The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because there are no fill level marks on the inside of the percolator. The fill marks are stamped on the outside of the percolator, under the handle, and are unusable. It took a few pots to figure out the right fill level. Other than that, it works great. It makes coffee quickly and the coffee tastes great. It works much better than any electric coffee maker I've used.

 "Bob's review..." 2009-09-27
By Anna Mae (Boston, New York United States)
My parents wanted a new percolator because their old one past away. So after reading a few reviews, this Copco percolator seemed like it would be a solid buy. And to be honest, it was. Even though I don't care for coffee myself, my parents are quite content with the coffee this percolator makes.
