Product Description
A more elegant alternative to standard coffee makers, this stainless steel percolator from Farberware has a sleek, pitcher shape. At a brewing rate of one cup per minute, this coffee pot sacrifices nothing in terms of speed for beauty. And once it has finished brewing, it will automatically switch to a safe "keep warm" temperature. Makes 2-8 cups. Comes with One-year limited warranty. Model #FCP280.
Amazon.com Review
Few things say "American kitchen" better than the sound of percolating coffee. The Farberware Millenium percolator is an attractive, heavyweight stainless-steel addition to any kitchen, providing fast and trouble-free coffee making--and that classic percolated coffee flavor. Leave it out on the counter, or put it away. The short cord is detachable, so you can bring the pot to the table to serve. While the pot is plugged in, however, it maintains the coffee at a "Keep Warm" temperature. --Schuyler Ingle

I have the 4 cup for when it is just the two of us and this larger one for when company arrives. It makes great hot coffee very quickly. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
 Fatally Flawed! March 20, 2008
Gary Siwicki (Albuquerque, NM USA)

And that flaw is it's cup-a-minute brewing speed. Percolation is a slow process. Remember the percolators of yesteryear and how long they took to brew a dark and satisfying cup of coffee? Not so here. Leave the room for a minute and come back and it's done. Huh? Yes, this percolator tries to brew coffee WAY too fast and the result is like weak tea.
I suppose you could use excessive amounts of grounds to try and get a cup of coffee that could be considered good but why should you have to do that?
This maker is some sort of compromise aimed at impatient people. I won't have cared if I had to wait 10-12 minutes to brew coffee if I knew in the end it would be good. The coffee that came out of this maker was a joke. Move along. This is not for serious coffee drinkers!
The Best Cup of Coffee, I've tried them all.... March 19, 2008
C. Miranda (Wild West, USA)
I purchased the Farberware 8 Cup Percolator to replace my other Farberware percolator that I had for 10 years. The other one I had only went because of problems with the base it was the type with a timer/base that they discontinued. I purchased a good 'ol reliable Superfast Farberware Percolator about a month ago and LOVE IT. My coffee is always piping hot, it does perk very quickly and I enjoy using it everyday. It's a great deal here on Amazon and worth every penny, I've tried other types of coffee pots from all price ranges and other brands, I've come back to the best one I can find which is Farberware. I would buy again and/or give as a gift with no doubts. Others are more expensive but not any better, this one is great for coffee lovers like myself.
 Classic Perculator March 16, 2008
P. Wilhelm (Galien, MI United States)
We've had our Farberware/Salton Fastbrew Perculator (FCP280) for about 6mo now and have been very happy with it. The biggest plus, aside from the flavor, has been the 7-9min brewing time--almost the same as an autodrip.
Construction is fairly rugged; all stainless except for the handle and whatnot, which appear to be made from some sort of bakelight or phenolic material. Cord is a detachable, two-prong appliance type, and about 18" in length.
The water markings (graduations) are stamped inside the pot and a bit hard to see when filling, and in fact are a bit off. At the eight cup mark, it is actually only holding about 7 cups and some change.
I began by using the pot with pre-ground coffee, but have since switched over to grinding my own, 'perk' coffee is apparently much coarser than auto-drip, and as such has less of a tendency to clog the filter basket.
Only issues we've had--1. There is no brewing adjustment as found on some other higher priced units. This means you need to wait for the pot to cool off first (or flush w/cool water) if you want to make successive batches, and you may also have to use a scoop or two MORE of coffee than normal to compensate for the fixed brewing time. 2. We've begun having some brewing issues with the unit, sometimes ending up with a pot of 'tea'-like coffee that has to be dumped. We presently have a call into Farberware regarding this--
Other than that I would definitely recommend the product. Seems very well made and efficient, and cleans up well.
