Stainless steel electric coffee percolator from General Electric, dating to the 1960s.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Used daily to brew a pot of coffee for over 30 years; only the power cord wears out every few years, and replacements are easy to find.

    60's vintage General Electric stainless steel coffee perculator. Still use it to make a pot of coffee every day. I have had it for over 30 years, cords wear out every 7 years or so but replacement cords are easy to find.
