The Farberware 4 cup percolator is an excellent choice.

IF she's absolutely set on Wally's world, then
there's only one choice; a Bunn B-series.
(that I'm aware of, anyway...)

I also like the Presto Scandinavian, though mine stopped working after a few
months. They've been discontinued with thirty thousand of them or so
remaindered at Sears/Kmart (or whomever Sears bought). They were only 40
bucks originally, so they'll probably be cheaper there now. I'd buy two.
I also like the Zojirushi thermal pot. It's not beautiful and it's rather
tall (a pain if you have a small cabinet space) but it really keeps the
coffee hot. I hate hot plates.
Get her a good grinder, too, Pop!

Sell and Trade
FS: High quality 1/4" boiler insulation on Mon @ 12:30pm.
Thanks,
Craig.

Haven't forgotten. I have to go to a Post Office in person, because of the
customs forms, and wait in line. Lines are darn long here in the states at
the post office -- they want you to use the automated machines, but you
can't for international stuff. Anyway, I drove over last night and they
shut the door in my face, as I missed closing time by 1 minute.
I'll head back this afternoon.

Yes, I know Cordo., thanks.., I didn't mean to bug you about. Anything
under 64 oz or 4 lbs uses the little green stick on United States Postal
Service Customs Declaration CN22 form, 3" x 4". It's also called on the
bottom left of it, PS Form 2976
Table 4a: Letter-post - Airmail
http://pe.usps.com/text/pub51/51tblb_002.html#vnameref_5
Each & every coffee parcel I ship I have to wait in line, so I hear
ya!... {:-/
I REALLY appreciate all your time & effort C!, I'm just happy to do a
better mod to increase efficiency!
Regards,
Craig.

Hey Bill,
Here's a thought; get her a vintage Silex Lido model vacuum pot. A vac pot
still turns out the best POT of coffee & the Lido is still the best looking
vac pot ever made. The modern vac pots (Bodum, Cona, Yama, ?) are also good
buys but are made of thinner glass, thus are more fragile.
See what Sweet Maria's has to say on the subject:

Not sure you'll find a good pot at WM, but the two best choices for
entry-level drip pots are the Presto scandinavian design which is
widely available online, or the Melita Clarity which is difficult to
find but may be found on E-bay.
If you want to spend some cash go for the Technivorm from
SweetMaria's or elsewhere (~$200)!

Presto Scandinavian is good for short money, if you are thinking about
spending more go with Technivorm (I have one, frills are 0/10 but
coffee is 10/10). I guess anything that can consistently get the water
up to 205 degrees. I had a Grind&Brew for a long time and thought that
it was the best thing ever. If she likes coffee, but doesn't love
coffee, I'd save some money and get something adequate.

If you want something quaint and unusual try
http://www.thecajunconnection.com/frenchdripcoffeepot.html
I have a four cup version. Makes coffee with an excellent flavour.

I'll nominate the no-frills Braun Aromaster. It may not heat as hot as
current coffee orthodoxy requires, but it is a great value and to my
taste, makes very good drip. I've been using one for quite some time
after giving up on my Kitchenaid 4-cupper (which was unbelievably
difficult to clean). I chose the Braun after noticing that the one
in-use at my in-laws' home made coffee that just simply tasted good (my
homeroast beans, of course - never travel without them). With Bed Bath
& Beyond's $5/20% off coupon... ended up costing about $16. Hard to
beat. If she doesn't like the coffee it makes, she can always return it
(but I bet she won't).

Have you considered a hand pour over?...no electronics to go out, you
get your water a perfect temp every time....Chemex (machine glass blown
model) is beautiful, and about 35 bucks....and makes coffee every bit
as good as my $185 Technivorm. Uses their brand paper filters..the
best...check out www.sweetmarias.com to start with.
