    • Make better tasting, more flavorful coffee with Fresco’s Stainless Steel Coffee Percolator. The percolator is constructed of stainless steel. Also features a stainless steel filter and components so this percolator is corrosion resistant, easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Offers a transparent lid knob, which allows the user to see when the brewing cycle is complete. Fresco’s Percolator has an easy to hold, cool touch handle for added safety. Contemporary design. Easy pour spout. 12 cup capacity.

    Coffe Pot – Thomas J. D’Antonio – Fairfield, NJ, U. S. A.
    It’s a good quality coffee pot, but it’s so air tight that you must lift the lid a little to let air in while pouring so the coffe comes out freely. This could create a problem because the lid could fall off while pouring. That has not happened yet to me though. Also, it’s a little tough to brew the full 12 cup capacity because as soon as it starts to perculate, the coffee shoots out the spout. You would have to have the flame on the stove just right for it not to happen. So I usually only brew 10 cups to prevent this from happening.

    Almost great. – A. R. Powers – Indianapolis

    I really enjoyed using this percolator for several weeks but it soon became evident that the lid was not well made.

    It consists of a plastic top which screws into the steel lid. You can wash it without taking it apart, but it comes loose, so you pretty much have to clean the lid, gasket, and cutting edge which the top screws into. It only has a single thread which makes about one turn and so it wears out quickly.

    At first blush, I expected this to last a few years, but apparently it wasn’t meant to be used every day. Hopefully I will be able to get a new lid for this item, but I’d rather they sent me an improved model.

    Fresco Titanium Tea Ball Reviews

    When I make tea, I only make a single cup at a time. After trying pretty much every tea ball or similar product out there, the results were consistently poor. Either the mesh lining in the tea ball was too porous or the closing mechanism didn’t seal, causing finely ground tea leaves and powder to leak out into the cup.

    The Fresco tea ball is the only product I’ve found that has a fine enough mesh to keep all the tea leaves and powder in the tea ball itself. It has has a twist-on, twist-off seal that prevents it from coming open. It is easy to open if you take a moment to see how it works.

    This tea ball is pretty small, which means that one cup is about all it can handle (but that’s what it is designed to do). If you want to brew a large pot of tea all at once, then you are looking for a different product. Fresco and a number of other manufacturers make larger sizes for you to consider.

    Yes, this tea ball costs more than others, but since it is likely to last forever and produce the kind of tea I’m hoping for, I think it’s worth it. Check Price Now!

    Small & inconvenient – Amazon buyer – NC CA USA
    I agree with the other review. The tea ball is too small but it is also very difficult to unscrew the top. Luckily when I tried to close it, I was over the sink so that most of the spilled tea went into the sink and not all over the floor. Really a poor design and a waste of money.

    I’d return it but shipping would cost about the same as the tea ball did. The only good thing about it is the chain. I swapped it to use on my Swissgold® TF 200 Tea Ball that is a much better size, is easy to open but had a really cheap looking chain on it.

    Much smaller than it looks – Amy P. Wiseman – Connecticut
    We bought this infuser thinking that we could use it to make a 32 oz teapot of loose green tea. It does not hold nearly enough leaves (especially unfurled) to make more than a cup or two of tea. Returned it.

    Neat product – Amazon fan – NY
    A real hit for a present. The tea drinks love this gadget and will thank you.
