Wear-Ever, a brand by the Aluminum Cooking Utensil Company (founded in 1903), became a household name in American kitchens for producing lightweight, affordable, and durable aluminum cookware. Their stovetop percolators, especially popular in the 1940s–1960s, were essential for making robust, flavorful coffee before the rise of electric drip makers. Today, they’re beloved by collectors, campers, and vintage enthusiasts who cherish their nostalgic design and hands-on brewing charm.
