This pot makes the best coffee. It cleans easily and holds a good amount. I don't use a dishwasher as I got tired of how my dishes got dulled. Well, I forgot to dry it right after I washed it and of course there were water marks all over it. I thought, Oh great! Well, the spots came off very easily with just a damp cloth and then I dried it immediately. Looked brand new! It's still shiny new looking. This is a solid, well made coffee pot, not real light weight and cheap. The first morning I used this I was taken back to childhood waking up to perking coffee, the whole house smelled like a coffee shop, it was wonderful. There is absolutely NO comparison when it comes to coffee flavor when using a percolating pot. The flavor is MUCH richer and for me that's important as I have to drink decaf. It may take longer to make your coffee this way, but it is WELL worth it when you taste that coffee.
