Review
This polished aluminum coffeemaker brews coffee and then lets brunch guests or executives at a breakfast meeting serve themselves. The coffeemaker brews up to 30 cups of coffee and averages about one cup per minute in brewing time. For accurate filling, the urn has water level markings on its interior. The coffeemaker has a red serving light that illuminates when brewing is complete and the coffee is ready to pour. The two-way faucet pours easily and is dripless. An automatic temperature control keeps coffee warm as long as it is plugged into an outlet. For safety from burns, the filter basket has a cool tip and the handles, base, and lid are all heat-resistant. Additionally, the coffeemaker’s cover twists to lock, ens (more…)
Is this one of the best coffee makers?

I have owned 3 West Bend coffee pot just like this since 1991- each one lasting at least 8 years with heavy use. I purchased my first to make my own coffee to serve at impromptu receptions that I hosted on sight in my sales job. I use a gallon of bottled water, nice paper filters and Maxwell House French Roast coffee. Hundreds of gallons of coffee later I have no complaints! I keep a second pot for tea- I have never made coffee in it- it is my superior hot water pot. As the other reviewer states- these pots are hot and the coffee is never cold.
I have thrown parties, family gatherings, and had it in my office serving coffee every day and everyone agrees- perked coffee tastes best. I do not care for Starbucks - the strong acid is not my thing. I prefer a strong cup of perked coffee. The percolator allows the coffee to actually cook which reduces the acid.Anything leftover from morning gets put into a pitcher and into the fridge for iced coffee in the afternoon- it is so yummy! For smaller quantity the Westbend home percolators are great- not your grandma’s machine they have nice easy to read and follow settings and again the superior flavor over drip.This unit is easy to clean- do not let the size intimidate you.

Easy to Use and Sturdy
We had a West Bend in our machine shop for over 5 years so once that one finally broke (the bottom plastic stand) we decided to replace it with a new West Bend.

I sent mine back
I used it to heat water for tea and instant coffee. The first time I used it, I filled it about 1/3 full, and there was horrible brown stuff up to the water line.

Don’t use it for water!
I had a similar model that that gave 10 years of excellent service, heating water for tea and keeping it hot for long periods.

Good Coffee Maker
I purchased this coffee maker for my church. It works really well. Just be careful because the coffee it makes is really hot!

West Bend 58030 and Parts for the future
This coffee maker 58030 is far better than was anticipated before having bought it. It has performed well.
