Presto 2822 Coffee Maker

The Presto 2822 is a stainless-steel electric percolator that brews 2 to 6 cups of coffee, making it a good fit for individuals, couples, or small households who want a compact batch for everyday serving.

Recommended For

• People who prefer strong, full-bodied percolator coffee and want a compact electric brewer for a small daily batch.
• One- or two-person households that want a small pot without routinely making a full-size drip-machine batch; its six-cup rating uses 5-ounce cups, so it yields about two to three typical mugs.
• People who want coffee to stay hot for serving after brewing, rather than transferring it to a separate thermal carafe right away.
• Coffee drinkers who prefer a stainless-steel basket and perk tube over brewing through plastic components.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When one to three people want coffee at home, brew a small batch for the morning; the 2–6-cup range is suited to a few servings, with Presto defining a cup as about 5 ounces.
• When several people want coffee around the same time, brew a pot for serving; Presto says it brews about a cup a minute, and the ready light signals when it is time to pour.
• For breakfast or a leisurely morning when people pour at different times, leave the brewed coffee in the maker between servings; it automatically keeps the coffee hot.
• For someone who prefers traditional percolator coffee to a drip-style brew, use it for a small pot; Presto describes the result as robust and intense, though taste will depend on the coffee and preparation.
• When filling larger mugs rather than small coffee cups, use the brewer for a short round of servings; a demonstration of model 02822 describes the batch as roughly one to three 12-ounce mugs.
