Farberware Electric Coffee Percolator, FCP240, Stainless Steel Basket, Automatic Keep Warm, No-Drip Spout, 4 Cup, Black/Silver

I have had this same unit (and its "big brother") for at least five years and absolutely LOVE IT! So, when a family member requested a coffee percolator for Xmas, THIS is what I chose for them... I love it for several reasons. First, and most important, it makes wonderful, VERY hot coffee. Because it makes such hot coffee, the taste of even a "so-so" brand is significantly improved, and the taste of a great coffee becomes OUTSTANDING! (You cannot get the high brewing temperatures from an automatic drip coffee maker, thus making this percolator far superior to all of them, even though it lacks a few "handy features" like an automatic timer) Second, it is reliable. As noted above, we've had this model for at least five years and have never had a single problem with it... It works as designed every time! Third, it is fast! It takes less than five minutes from start to finish to have a full pot of steaming hot coffee ready to drink. Fourth, No waste! It makes one large mug and one regular mug of coffee for each full pot (or four small cups)... So, say goodbye to wasted coffee! With the price of coffee, wasting it is almost a crime... (We have its "big brother" for when we have company and that one makes four large mugs or 8 small cups) Fifth, it is EASY and very simple to use. There's nothing complicated about it, in fact, a 6 year old can easily do it for you if you let them. Sixth, it is easy to clean. All the parts except for the body of it can go into the dishwasher or be washed in hot, soapy dishwater. I recommend scrubbing it thoroughly at least once a week to keep the stains away as it is always easier to keep them at bay than to get rid of them once they appear. If one is fairly lazy and doesn't want to do more than just rinse it out daily, then you can run vinegar through a cycle once a week to keep it shiny too... The only downside that I can think of are that it does not have an automatic timer, but it's so fast, who cares? To be even faster, it can be prepared at night and simply plugged in when you get up. It is fairly small, which is perfect for two good sized cups or 4 small ones, but if you want more than that, you have to refill it or simply buy a larger pot instead or in addition. That's why we have two sizes. Normally, the small pot is just perfect for us. But several times a year, we have overnight guests (or dinner guests) and need more coffee. We'd normally only buy the larger one, BUT the larger sized percolators really are NOT good at making small pots of coffee~! I'm guessing it is because of the inaccuracy of water to coffee ratio not being "just right" when trying to use a large model to a small model's job. Bottom line: this small model works perfectly, is just the right amount, and is well worth the purchase price for those couples who each just want one, fairly large, great cup of coffee each every morning or for the single person who wants two big cups every morning...

Excellent ! Easy to use, percolates in 5 minutes. Flavor is delicious, easy to clean. Space saver on the counter top..

No complaints, just love it! It’s entirely made of stainless steel, only takes four or five minutes to percolate, when you hear it, stop percolating it’s done and you pull out the inside parts. Pour them out and can save the rest in the fridge with the lid on they only drink one cup at a time. The best little coffee maker that makes the best cup of coffee, keeps his flavor and coffee strength! No need to buy coffee filters:-)

This pot makes excellent coffee in about 5 minutes. The coffee is very hot & delicious. The size is perfect. It’s an attractive pot & is easy to clean. I make 4 cups and it fills my big mug. The only drawback is the placement of the plug under the end of the handle. The plug doesn’t seem to go all the way in. I’m not sure if it’s just my pot or if this is an issue with the design. Due to the issue with the plug I can only give it 4 stars!

I’ve used this percolator daily for a month. It works perfectly - does one thing, and does it well. The quality is obvious as soon as the box is opened; strong stainless steel, not the mysterious metal or too-thin, seamed stainless so often found in small electronics. The brewing basket with its top and stem, as well as the percolator’s body and lid are all stainless steel; no plastic touches the coffee. Big selling point for me! I initially missed the traditional transparent knob atop the lid to display the perking coffee’s color. However, aside from not needing to judge brew strength - this boils for a preset time (IMO just the right time) - few electric or stovetop percolators today use glass knobs. So that potential plastic exposure is absent here. The lid fits securely but easily lifts off. Its plastic knob and curved pot handle are well balanced and stay cool during use. No bells or whistles: once you plug the unit into an outlet it heats up, goes through its percolating cycle, then stops boiling but keeps the coffee hot until it’s unplugged. No on/off switch. This is exactly what I want from a coffeemaker - no choices to confuse me early in the morning when I need caffeine! The plug detaches from the base but I usually leave it attached. The cord is relatively short for safety reasons. The only caveat with electric percolators: they can’t be immersed in water so must be hand-washed, although the inner parts are dishwasher-safe. I love perked coffee for its flavor and high temperature, unmatched by any other method. This percolator is dramatically faster than a stovetop unit, and foolproof.

Perfect for 2 people. NON toxic materials .Quick heating.Good quality. I would highly recommend

A really magnificent coffee maker - heats and perks fast and the "stay warm" feature actually keeps coffee hot, not just warm like the drip coffee makers. If you are are single and live alone like me, this is the shot. Makes Just the right amount 4 cups (or about three 10 ounce mugs). No waste! Just put in two level tablespoons of your favorite blend, and it makes the best coffee. Nothing tastes as good and rich as perked coffee. Nothing. I've had so many of the pod makers, and none of them come close in my opinion. And it's really well made into the bargain. Go ahead. Treat yourself!

Instructions in the booklet that come with it caused a problem. The instructions say for the best flavor to remove the coffee basket after percolating completes while keeping remaining coffee hot. The coffee did not stay hot and was tepid at best. Do not follow that instruction. Decided to give it a second try today before returning it, Skipped removing the basket. Coffee stayed nice and hot. Good little machine. However, giving only four stars because the lid is really really hard to get off.

El producto es perfecto, tamaño, calidad, et cetera. La persona que lo entrego no tiene consciencia. Tiraron la caja encima del pared de 4 metros al patio. No tocaron el timbre, aunque hay noticia en la puerta "por favor, toque el timbre". Estuve en casa con puertas y ventanas abiertas. Me alegra que la decision tirar la caja no rompio la cosa a dentro.

Difficulty removing the lid of the pot. There was no on and off switch on product and no indication with a light telling you the product was on or off unless you went to the main switch. The product was more like tin than stainless steel and had a very weak plastic handle. The product came with an American electrical connection and not a British connection with plug. This was not in the advert of the product. The product would not work with a British electrical connection that we had to buy and so would not heat up the water in the percolator which looked more like a tin kettle. We have to pay postal costs to send this product back to America which was also not in the advert of the product. Altogether a terrible purchase and a waste of one's time.

This is a nice-looking little percolator, but I didn't know when I bought it that it comes from the US with an American plug. In order to use it in the UK, I would have to buy a transformer for nearly £100. In order to send it back and get a refund, I would have to pay the extortionate postage to America. I feel I've been comprehensively fooled. I'm angry. Don't buy from this seller.

Sin embargo me gustó mucho mi mini cafetera.

Es un producto excelente, ya que por su material es lo más sano al preparar un buen café, de fácil limpieza y muy durable.
