This is my third percolater. Works fine for brewing, and the "keep warm" feature does just fine. I would drink about 5 1/2 cups, then unplug it, remove the basket, intending to save the remaining coffee for later. The coffeepot does not reheat well. Reheat starts off cold in the "percolate" cycle. With the basket and pump rod not in the pot, the cold coffee boils violently, even splashing out through the spout. If the pot is close to empty, it never changes to "keep warm" and boils itself dry, overheats and the non-replaceable internal safety/fire fuse blows thus rendering the coffeepot forever dead. Good thing I kept a spare pot on hand. So reheat using your microwave oven instead!
Update 2/13/24: If no microwave is available you can reheat with the percolator by doing this: Make sure there is more than two cups of brewed coffee in the pot. Reinstall the EMPTY basket/lid/pump tube and make sure the percolator is cool. Plug it in and it will go through the percolate cycle -- it doesn't know it is simply reheating! Bonus: If you need hot water to make hot tea, just "percolate" water through the EMPTY basket! Try putting tea bag(s), or loose tea in the basket? Haven't tried brewing tea yet.

Works great, but avoid reheating any remaining coffee later in the day.
