Has anyone ever heard of this brand? Of course I bought it even though I don't need it. Looks like I will be selling a couple other percolators.

Yep!
'Cause I have one... Now THERE's a surprise. The nameplate on mine proudly boasts of having a Westinghouse thermostat; no doubt a highly-sought after feature back in the day! LOL

Turquoisedude....what!!?? I have never seen one of these until recently. I assumed they were a rare animal. Does yours look the same as this one?

Yes it does. Dang it I wish I was in Ogden this weekend; I could've taken a picture. I swear I saw a 'CSA' stamp on yours - that was the Canadian equivalent of UL, so perhaps this was a model sold in Canada. Yours must've flown south with the geese.... LOL

I do believe it does have the CSA stamp on the bottom by looking at the pictures. It has been delivered and I will open it when I get home. Of course I will most definitely run it through a perk cycle just for funsies!!!

Do these make a good cup of coffee?

Mine does. I don't use it much, but it hasn't let me down.

I love it! The percolator heated up really fast and perked away to its heart's content. I have it all ready for in the morning and I can't wait to taste that coffee!

Ed,
How is/was the brew?

The coffee was really good! Nice and hot, and it was really smooth. The percolator perked a little longer than most. The wattage is listed at 490 so that is probably why but I am 100% pleased with the results.

Glad you are happy with it, Ed! I like this one particularly because it brews a fairly large pot and keeps it at a nice temperature without 'cooking' the coffee. May it bring you many years of service!!
