Product Instructions

• Remove enclosed metal heat diffusing Trivet from inner box panel. This Trivet must always be placed on exposed Electric Range coils between the coils and glass. The Trivet is not necessary for use on Gas, Glass or Ceramic Stovetops.
• Fill Percolator with desired amount of water. The maximum water level must be below the bottom of the basket so do not overfill.
• Add one rounded tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee into the basket for every cup of water. Depending on taste, you may use more or less coffee.
• Cover the basket with the basket lid. Make sure top lid opening is aligned with the glass pour spout to allow for ventilation.
• Place the Percolator on stovetop using medium heat. As the water boils, the water will be forced up through the stem and distributed over the top of the basket lid. The water will seep through the coffee grounds and drip through the bottom of the basket and into the lower portion of the Percolator.
• Once the coffee has reached the preferred color, remove from the heat source. Keep in mind that percolated coffee often tastes stronger than drip coffee so experiment with water and coffee levels to achieve your favorite brew.
• Carefully remove the stem & brew basket before serving the coffee.
