An electric percolator having a liquid containing section formed from an assembly of glass and other materials fixed together by means of a locking collar. The lid of the percolator is held in place by means of a quick-release latching mechanism which prevents the lid from being disengaged by the lifting motion normally used to open a lid and instead requires a twisting motion which rapidly releases the lid. Simplified electrical circuitry in the percolator utilizes a single lamp that indicates both the 'Brewing' and the 'Keep Warm' modes of percolator operation. A method is also set forth for assembling a composite apparatus, having a glass component which does not require threading, strapping or gluing of the glass component.
