The label bears the coveted Good Housekeeping Institute Seal of Approval and touts “Delicious Healthful Coffee Every Time” — a testament to the era’s confidence in modern convenience.


Instructions for use are printed on the reverse side of the label, complete with charming illustrated graphics. Polished aluminum body with original black Bakelite handle and lid knob. Two-piece drip design with upper water compartment and lower carafe. Stovetop ready — no electricity required.
