Farberware 8-Cup, Black Percolator, Stainless Stee

Minimalist Coffee Percolator
Exactly what I expected when ordered. Basic minimal small electric coffee percolator. No switch, no light, no glass top knob. Just makes perked coffee. Perks when heating water switches to keep warm when up to temperature.Only fault I see is that it is hard to see water level marks inside pot. Easy to judge once I determined what “full” looks like. It’s not critical. Just don’t overfill.Picture shows top open. I use an old Mr. Coffee “weed whacker” grinder. Gets the job done. Made funnel (3D print) to aid filling basket with grind.Makes great perk coffee!

GREAT COFFEE, but lacks a few amenities
I purchased this coffee maker in an attempt to reduce my plastic exposure. This coffee maker fits that goal with a 100% stainless steel interior and brews EXCELLENT coffee. I am amazed at the taste difference between my older Kitchen Aide drip coffee maker and this new percolator. My husband agrees with me. It is a better cup of coffee! I took off one star because of a few design features it lacks. There is no way of knowing how much coffee remains in the pot with use. It must be tethered to the cord at all times to use the keep warm feature. The cup markings on the interior wall are difficult to read. There is no light or signal when brewing is complete and no way to adjust the strength of the brew. I use the square Melitta 627402 Super Premium wrap filters, encasing the coffee in the basket. (BTW, there is no plastic in this brand of paper filters) They make clean-up more manageable, and there are NO GROUNDS in the bottom of the pot. I strongly suggest purchasing those filters with this machine. If you want your coffee brewed when you wake up, an electric outlet wall timer would do the trick since there is no on-off switch. Just plug it in, and it will start brewing within seconds. I recommend this percolator if you can live with those lacking design features.

Sturdy, easy to use & great coffee!
We needed a smaller coffee maker for our RV. There’s not a lot of counter space and every square inch is needed to cook. I thought about a percolator because it is much smaller than a drip coffee maker. This was so easy to set up and use! Within minutes of opening it I had hot coffee. I just followed instructions to clean first and set up, plugged it in and that was it. The coffee doesn’t take any longer than a drip coffee maker to make coffee. The coffee is rich and flavorful. It also stays hot for quite awhile even unplugged. The pit and parts seem heavy duty. I am very happy with this percolator. I actually went online and read many reviews before ordering. This one was the highest rated of all of them in every report I read. The only disappointment is that this one doesn’t have the clear glass top so you can see the coffee perking. Just a nostalgic touch that would be cool.

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.
