Percolator/coffee maker collection

[justjunque]

Cole,

I'm a sucker for stuff like that.
There was another one listed, almost identical, but without the tags and such.
I paid more for this one because of it.
As I always do, when I find something new that appeals to me, I've gone a little nutty with the Regal "Poly" products.
I've acquired several versions of the Insta-Hot/Hot Pot; including some badged for Sears. Some have a temperature control, some don't.
And I have a 4-8 cup Poly Perk on the way. That one shows definite signs of use, but still looks nice.
I bought it specifically for that reason. (John)
It was cheaper than the minty ones, and I can actually bring myself to use it without feeling guilty; like I'm destroying a perfectly preserved piece of history.
I'll post a "group shot" when they've all arrived.

Nice little collection, Adam.
I have a couple of Poly Perks myself. One "full size" in beige, and a smaller one that's part of a travel set. It comes with plastic cups, and it's all in its own little vinyl travel bag.
I also have a few of the "hot pots" that look like the small percolator, but they're just for heating water, soup, etc.
I like that orange color, but I never found one in good shape that the seller wasn't asking more than I was willing to pay. One of my hot pots is that color though.
Glad to hear that you're putting it to good use! I don't perk regularly. But, when I do, my "go to" is my stainless steel Presto. I don't know why. That's just the one I gravitate towards. You've inspired me to break out the Poly Perk next time though!
I went on my little Poly Perk buying spree as soon as I found out that they existed. Which, of course, I learned from this site. I just fell in love with the vintage look, and the almost unbearably cute name!

Poly Perks

Are they BPA free?

Hi Jerry

Sorry, I can't answer that question. Maybe someone else has more knowledge on the subject.
For me personally, I use mine so infrequently, I choose to just enjoy it and not worry about it.
I worry about too many things as it is.
