Steed and Mrs. Peel used a Russell and Hobbs automatic electric coffee percolator, the model CP1.made by Russell and Hobbs Ltd., Surrey
right: Adverts for the percolator and the espresso coffee service. There were six models of the set in 1965, Steed and Mrs. Peel owned two of them.
Mrs. Peel's coffee pot appeared in The Town of no Return.
I own a set of four (tiny) coffee cups with cream jug and sugar basin.
Steed however never used these but cups from another coffee service.
