That's interesting John, I have had a Silex Anyheet Control for over 20 years and it has worked very well with my Silex pots the whole time! Could it have to do with the fact that I do not think mine was used a lot before I got it?PAT COFFEY

I have a couple
Of the pots and controls but I have never tried them.
Of the pots and controls but I have never tried them.
According to what I remember reading in the reports on the tests in the times when these were being sold, the control was vastly oversold. They were in no way automatic like the Coffeemaster, but required attention from the user up until the heat was turned down, but the user had to deal with the amount of heat built up in the firebrick to know when to turn it down so it was a learning experience. I can tell you that when we used a percolator on an open coil stove, when the perking first started, my mother would shut off the heat and the coffee would perk for 8 to 10 minutes on the stored heat. Naturally, the wattage of the heater would figure into this. Maybe JeffAdelphi, who played with these pots a lot, might remember using this control and could tell about it.
