The handle on the coffee pot is missing, the sign on the building is gone, and the place looks deserted.

[Dean Jeffrey, 09/13/2022]

Built in 1959, the pot has served multiple non-caffeinated businesses. Tourists now leave coffee cups outside the building as offerings.

We pulled into the driveway of the Big Coffee Pot and were fortunate enough to meet the owner and see what he has accomplished with his remodel. He used corrugated metal and reclaimed wood on the outside. It looks beautiful. Also he has his art made of wood, metal, and stone displayed on the outside. Mark is very nice and has really added charm to the coffee pot house.

I purchased this Roadside America attraction a year ago. A lot has changed in its appearance. People come in and mention your App; thank you!

The pot now serves a giant coffee mug. America's favorite hot beverage sustains our national stovetop fetish for big coffee pots.
