Overview
The One-All Stovetop Percolator from Medelco is an 8-cup glass percolator built from heat-resistant borosilicate glass with a black phenolic handle. It works on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops and is listed as dishwasher safe, though the glass body can chip if handled roughly.
This is a manual, stovetop-only coffee maker with no electronics, aimed at people who specifically want old-fashioned percolated coffee rather than drip or pour-over. Because the body is glass rather than stainless steel, it lets you watch the coffee darken as it brews, but it is also the part owners are most careful with when washing. Capacity ranges from 4 to 8 cups depending on how full it is brewed.
- 8-cup capacity, brews 4 to 8 cups
- Borosilicate glass body, heat and cold resistant
- Black phenolic handle stays cool to the touch
- Compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops
Who it's for
Fits coffee drinkers who want a backup brewing method for power outages, camping, or simply prefer the taste of percolated coffee. Less suited to anyone who wants a shatterproof or all-metal percolator for rougher daily handling.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently praise the flavor of percolated coffee this makes, several calling it a return to how coffee used to taste before drip machines. More than one owner specifically flags the glass carafe as fragile, having chipped or broken it while washing, though Medelco's customer service was described as replacing a broken piece free of charge. One buyer received a unit with the handle already broken off.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Glass body lets you watch the brew color
- Works on gas, electric, or ceramic stovetops
- Useful backup during power outages
- Manufacturer customer service responded quickly to a broken part

- Takes longer to brew on electric stovetops

Performance notes
Brewing typically takes 8 to 10 minutes at a boil for a full 8-cup batch once the water reaches temperature, with shorter batches finishing faster. Owners recommend a coarser coffee grind to avoid grounds passing into the finished pot, and several use it specifically as a backup during power outages since it needs only a gas or electric burner.
