The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Elite Gourmet EC922 brings features to the percolator category that most competing units at this price do not offer. Touchscreen controls replace the usual single-button panel, and fully automatic operation means the brewer manages the cycle without requiring you to monitor it. The body combines glass and stainless steel construction, and Elite Gourmet lists all components as dishwasher safe, which is a genuine differentiator among percolators.
At 12 cups, the EC922 matches the capacity of the Cuisinart models in this group. It measures 6 by 8 by 11.75 inches and weighs 1.47 pounds, making it notably lighter than competing 12-cup percolators. It is rated for 120 volts and does not connect to any smart-home platforms.
With 1,300-plus ratings at 4.0 stars and a price of $79.98, the EC922 positions itself as a feature-forward alternative to no-frills percolators. The missing wattage spec is the one gap that makes side-by-side heating comparisons difficult.

Performance notes
The fully automatic operation distinguishes the EC922 from button-start percolators. Touchscreen controls allow adjustments without physical knobs or levers. The glass and stainless steel body combination lets you see the liquid level. The dishwasher-safe designation covers the key removable parts, which is a practical advantage for daily users who hand-wash everything else.
What buyers say
Reviewers most often highlight the touchscreen as the deciding factor over competing percolators. The dishwasher-safe design also earns consistent praise from buyers who call it a major time saver. Critical reviews primarily note that the automatic cycle can run slightly hotter than expected, producing a stronger cup than some buyers anticipate. A small number of reviews flag the glass body as feeling less durable than an all-stainless design.
What makes the Elite Gourmet EC922 different from a standard electric percolator?
The EC922 uses a touchscreen panel and fully automatic operation rather than the manual button controls found on most percolators. It is also dishwasher safe, which is uncommon in this category.
Are all parts of the EC922 dishwasher safe?
Elite Gourmet lists the EC922 as dishwasher safe. The body is glass and stainless steel. Check the current product listing to confirm which specific components are cleared for dishwasher use.
Does the EC922 work with coffee pods?
No. The EC922 uses ground coffee with a reusable filter, not pods or capsules.
