Product Description

Before there were drip coffeemakers, coffee was brewed in a percolator. Which is better? That's a matter of taste preference. Percolator supporters believe that the percolation process delivers more pure taste. They believe that some of the natural oils and flavonoids of the beans are lost when filtered in a drip coffeemaker. This product is for those who favor the percolator. 1000 watts 110-120 Volts AC (includes power cord)

not made like they used to be - zolo, May 14, 2008

Bought this to replace a 30 yr old farberware perc given to me by my mom, and less than a year later it's ready for the trash heap. The knob broke off (thanks to a cheap weld rather than a screw), the label is peeling, and overall the fit and finish is made-in-china cheap. In other words, not made like they used to be. I'm buying a vintage made-in-usa farberware (with real glass knob) off of e-bay and throwing this one away as soon as it arrives.

DEFECTIVE - Ms. Marlene E. Koveck, May 14, 2008

THE TUBE THAT TAKES THE WATER UP THROUGH THE COFFEE GROUNDS DOES NOT FIT INTO THE BOTTOM HOLE OF THE POT, CONSEQUENTLY WITHOUT THAT CONNECTION, THE COFFEE CANNOT BREW.

Farberware FCP240 Electric Percolator - Jane T. Seabrook, May 10, 2008

This "coffee pot" makes outstanding coffee, especially if one roasts and grinds at home (which I do). The smaller size is perfect for 4 cups, so you can drink some and then take some on the road (to wherever you are going that day). Truly a great product.

not up to the mark - S. Gowda, May 05, 2008

I was dissappointed with this product. I prefer the traditional stove top ones to this and it consumes 3 times more coffree powder than the traditional ones but gives a very light decauction. Although the process is quick, the decauction is not stronger , like in the stove top ones, which really make good coffee. Also i feel the price is too high given its performance, although it's very neat looking and all..i sent back in no time and amazon was very responsive as usual...I'm currently using a stove top one from farberware and that works best..

"Old Faithful" - K. Hudson, May 02, 2008

The Farberware percolator works great, it makes good coffee and does not require paper filters so I am always ready to make good coffee and clean-up is easy. This is the first time I ever used Amazon to buy anything, But I must say the service was quick and had good follow up, the price was also lower than my local store. KWH.
