Tops Stainless Steel 12 Cup Coffee Percolator

It's steel and it's 12 cups, features I wanted. Many were smaller, 8 cups or so. Works fine. I'd rather the top weren't hinge mounted but it's been working as well as one with a removeable top. Very happy with it in any case. Got curious, filled it with water to the 12 cup mark, kept pouring into my cup, the 12 cups turned out to be only 6 cups total. But it was no different from my drip coffee maker, or my electric percolator, or any other coffee maker I've ever had. That's 12 ounces (a cup and a half) per cup filled completely level to the top, or 8 ounces / 1 cup filled to the normal not entirely pretty/mostly full level. Not a huge mug but a good sized common size diner type mug. Anyhow it's the same as all the other coffee makers, just was surprised, thought it'd be 9 or 10 cups, only a couple cups shy.

This takes me back to grandma's kitchen. When the perk starts I can close my eyes and I'm there. Well made and sturdy. Just wish I could find a store with a coffee grinder so I could grind it for perk.
