Thanks so much Robert for posting that commercial. I had never seen that before. They really were a good little coffee maker and made a great cup of coffee. Thanks for the memories. and as Betty would say, "You can be sure if it Westinghouse". Terry

That was cool Robert.
I see those every now and again in thrift stores.
I love the end of the commercial where Betty talks about the Big $1.00 off.
Man, the value of the buck has really changed since then.
Thanks for the video.

I used to have one of these coffee makers and I have to say they were the best. I have never had another machine that could ever match the taste of the coffee! It lasted for over 20 years.

Coffee Maker!
Hi Robert,
This is a real cool video. To this day I only purk my coffee or do a melita drip on the stove top. Nothing like fresh tasting coffee.

Wonderful commercial, Robert; thanks!!
Wow, that's great to see the original tv ad for this. I was only 3 at the time so don't have any recollection of it. My earliest tv commercial memory is the one for the RCA Victor Color TV which also used a little cartoon man dancing around singing "Wow we gotta color tv" and another one for a car dealer in Detroit that went someething like "get on the right track to 9 mile and Mack".
Thanks for posting it.

From the broadcast equipment point of view-love that RCA Image Orthicon camera.In my transmitting tube collection-have an RCA Image Orthicon camera tube that was used in such a camera.They used three of them-one for each primary color.GE cameras had 4-one for luminance and the others for each primary color.Those camera heads were real BEASTS!All tube as well.They gave good pictures though-setups were lengthy.
I hadn't even check the little perc out to see if it worked or not so I just did and it does. Remarkably fast, I put in about 2 cups of water and it did its firt burp in about 15 seconds. Don't have any regular grind coffee or beans at the moment to give it a real taste test.
