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.
Pros and cons
- 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
- Glass carafe can chip or crack easily
- Takes longer to brew on electric stovetops
- At least one unit arrived with a broken handle
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.
