Here's how to get a new plastic top
(4 out of 5) by TrihackUSA on Jan 17, 2006 (Wine Country, California)I love my Java Perk, but I loved it a lot more before it blew its top. Here's how I got a new top. I called 800-947-3744 and gave the nice lady there my mailing address and my credit card number. She charged me $4.86 and shipped a new top to me. (At least I think she did. I just got off the phone with her.)
The 800 number is for Toastmaster/Salton, the people who contract to have the Java Brew MEP 10 made in China. Oh, the nice lady wants to know the number engraved on the very bottom of your pot, and when you bought it, how much you paid, and so forth. BUT she can live without that info. If you bought your percolator recently, I suspect your fragile plastic top will be covered by warranty.

substandard parts
(1 out of 5) by Bonnie on Jul 11, 2002 (California)I bought this coffee pot on Dec. 28th 2001. We love the taste of perked coffee and was very pleased until the end of Jan. when the PLASTIC top broke under the lid. I called Melitta and was told they would replace it but that it would take a minimum of 8 weeks due the number of people who were having the same problem. I received my new lid in April and today it broke again. It is definitely a defect in the product. Why can't they make them (the top where you can see it perking) out of glass? You cannot find a glass replacement at any store.Want two pots?

Wonderful Hot Coffee
(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on May 27, 2002Purchased the smaller version of this coffee maker and learned that I REALLY needed the 10 cup pot. The coffee is hot and rich. The coffee stays hot for hours. Easy to use. Easy to clean, stainless interior and parts. The top does fit tight, but I think that is standard with these pots. I'm really happy with this purchase. The percolator coffee tastes so much better than coffee made with a drip maker.

Melitta Java Perk rocks!
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 20, 2003My husband and I like really HOT coffee. What's so good about this particular brand is that it perks fast and HOT. We fill the pot @ night. In the morning we plug it in and we have HOT coffee within 5-10 minutes.
The only drawback is that the pot should be larger and the perk top should be glass not plastic. Ours wore out after only a few months use. We contacted Melitta and they mailed us a brand new lid w/top at no charge.
I would recommend this to anyone who has a very busy schedule and like/loves HOT HOT coffee!

Not Reliable
(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on May 5, 2003Initially, we loved it! However, less than one after we bought it, it stopped brewing hot coffee. Puzzled, I thought I would check out the reviews of this product while shopping for a new coffee maker. I was shocked to read that this happened to someone else as well. I guess I should have done more homework before making my purchase!
