perked coffee??

They make things like that where you will have to buy over and over again.I don't use a electric pot I still use one I have to put on the stove. During the ice storm I used it. I use a coffee maker.

I haven't had this problem with my g.e. percolator, but I agree with you in general on this. Things just aren't made to last anymore. My mom and dad would agree with you about percolated coffee being the best there is. I'm a coffee lover but haven't had enough percolated to really know the difference.

I have had this problem with the slow cooker, fan and other products. Cords are not made out of good material often and break too easily. Personally, I like to drink instant coffee. I just heat up the water, pour in the coffee, and it is ready to drink. I think that instant is stronger than perculator coffee, which I like. I need the jolt of drinking coffee in the morning to get going.

I have not owned a perculator in years. We use a bunn now. We have never had any trouble with it so far.

Can't say I've had that problem with a GE Percolator (don't have one). I have had problems with my Duraband coffee pot though. I'd bought it at Walmart for $15.00. The coffee pot broke. So, I replaced the pot because the coffee maker itself is awesome for the price. At work, they also buy the Duraband coffee pots because they're cheap. But we have had 3 of those pots break on us also.

What is perked coffee versus non-perked??

i do like good coffee but i have never used a percolater!!but once the cord or rather the charger of my mobile phone became dirty,i enquired for a new charger and it was costing rs1500(indian rupees).i was like,theni can buy a new mobile.

We have an espresso machine, and our morning coffee on the back verandah is one of the pleasures in life. If/when it busts, my husband will have to replace it quick smart! I saw a program last week about white goods and electrical goods, and the expert was saying all appliances these days are made with 'inbuilt obsolescence' - therefore, were only supposed to last a couple of years (small appliances) and around 8-10 years for larger things like washing machines and refrigerators. They were manufactured in a way which made it more expensive to have them repaired than to replace them. Terribly wasteful - and dreadful for landfill! Bring back the good old days when an electric kettle lasted 30 years with a new element every now and then!

I'm with you- I like perked coffee the best. My parents bought me a new poit for x-mas and thge cord is going on mine too. My sister bought Cuisinart a few weeks ago- more expensive but judging by the facxt that she was jumping up and down it must be a great pot. So go online and spend the extra money if you have it. Otherwise you will have to keep fooling with the cord on the GE which is what I have been doing
