Things were made to last long, long, long ago. Now they last a few minutes & then you either trash it, recycle it,or do with out it because everything is so expensive.

Those perculators could probably be found in an antique store? I left my moms on the stove when I sold her house. She always had it full of STRONG coffee & sometimes it would perk over & coffee would run out from under the lid. What a mess it would make. She refused to use an electric coffee maker because the coffee tasted better from the perculator pot.
