Cuisinart PRC-12 Classic 12-Cup Stainless-Steel Percolator, Black/Stainless Observations and Reviews

This is a farberware cookware review of Cuisinart PRC-12 Classic 12-Cup Stainless-Steel Percolator, Black/Stainless. Enjoy!

  • Classic stainless-steel percolator brews from 4 to 12 cups of coffee
  • Long, tapered, precision no drip spout pours without a spill
  • Ready-to-serve indicator light, detachable cord, and easy-grip knob on the lid
  • Stay-cool bottom allows unit to sit safely on any surface without scarring

Cuisinart brings its coffee-making expertise to the 12-Cup model of their classic stainless steel percolator. Piping hot water percolates through the grounds, and pulses up into the glass knob on top to create the familiar “perk-perk” sound that coffee lovers wait to hear. A detachable cord and stay-cool bottom lets this percolator go anywhere to serve, and it only needs to be plugged in to keep it hot. Click toRead the full review here…

    Weak coffee, another crappy coffee maker!!!!, April 11, 2006

    I do not understand what has happened in the coffee maker industry. It seems as if every coffee appliance I buy fails. This one is no exception. I bought this one only because most of the reviews praised it. Now I am sure that the reviews are phony and must be posted by the manufacturer. There is no control over the time of percolation which for whatever reason has been designed to be too short. The coffee comes out weak especially if you try to make less than 12 cups, the water just doesn’t make it through the strainer for less cups??? The manual suggests using 20 spoons for 12 cups of strong coffee. At this rate I will essentially be using double the coffee grinds to make the same amount of coffee as I did with a much older Faberware I had and the coffee is still weak. The new faberwares are just as bad as everything else manufactured these days. The reviews and the item description also touts that this coffee percolator has a glass knob. This is an outright lie, it is plastic!!!! I was initially pleased with the design although I feel it is made with a lighter guage metal than it should be. I would gladly pay double for this product if it worked. Don’t buy it, it is another coffee maker dud!!!!!

    This review is from: Cuisinart PRC-12 Classic 12-Cup Stainless-Steel Percolator, Black/Stainless (Kitchen)

    I had written a glowing review for the PRC-12 Percolator because it produced a great cup of coffee and heavenly aroma. Now, months later, this product resides in a local landfill and I won’t buy another Cusinart product ever again.

    It made great coffee right up to the day I found coffee all over the counter. The leak was tracked to the plastic bulb which broke off when I gave it a gentle twist. I contacted Cusinart Customer Service, emailed a copy of my Amazon receipt and was told they would be happy to provide a replacement lid w/bulb as soon as I could give them the serial number which I was told is on a sticker underneath the pot. Naturally, on my unit, the serial number sticker was missing. What was worse, when looking for the serial number, I found that the base had cracked and warped from the heat of brewing coffee. One more call to Cusinart Customer Service and they once again told me they would be happy to provide a replacement as soon as I provided the serial number which in this case was non-existant. Without that precious serial number Cusinart wouldn’t lift a finger to help. The Amazon receipt was a worthless piece of paper when it came to dealing with Cusinart.

    Due to poor Customer service at Custinart, I’ve decided to continue to buy from Amazon but I will no longer buy any Cusinart products.
