Sunbeam AP-20 Automatic Coffee Percolator.
1962 ad for the exact same model of Sunbeam percolator.
My percolator is 50yrs old and makes excellent coffee. I like that it has a dial that allows me to control the strength of the coffee so I get a perfect cup of coffee just the way I like it every time.
Back when this percolator was made things were built to last and will most likely outlast me.
Above is the photo of my percolator, plus I found an ad from life magazine April 1962. The sunbeam toaster in the picture my parents received as a wedding gift in 1960 it also works as good as when it was new.
I forgot to mention another reason that I like my percolator is that it is 1000w and it makes coffee super fast.
