Product Description
If you grew up in the 1940's and 1950's, it's more likely you saw a coffee percolator like this one on your parents' stovetop. The origins of the percolator go back to about 1818 in France. Prior to that, coffee was made in vacuum pots or was boiled. By the middle to late 1800's travelers immigrating to the United States from Europe brought these percolators with them. Many of these pots made coffee for families that used wood stoves on their journey westward. This Farberware model follows that classic design but is made of stainless steel. It's easy to use, clean, and maintain. You can expect years of quality service from this coffee maker. Farberware has added a stay-cool handle to help make pouring a lot easier. It truly is a classic refined.
Amazon.com Review
Sleek and contemporary, this gleaming percolator brews from four to eight cups of coffee on the stovetop for full, old-fashioned flavor. A permanent filter basket (no messy paper filters needed) provides modern efficiency. The handle is synthetic (to stay cool) and slightly textured, a combination ensuring safe, comfortable pouring. Because the percolator is made of highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, the beauty of its gleaming mirror finish is long-lasting. To fully maintain the finish, the percolator should be hand washed, although the filter basket and glass cap can go into the dishwasher. The percolator stands 8-1/2 inches high on a 6-1/4-inch-diameter base. --Fred Brack

 Makes ADC Obsolete May 9, 2008
R. Mimna (Va. Bch., VA USA)
For the past 20 years or more I've used ADC systems; they don't compare to perked coffee. But, I never felt comfortable with the old style aluminum perculators because of the potential for drinking disolved metallic salts - a personal thing. Also, ADC systems can grow bacteria quickly that I'd prefer not to drink. This perculator brewed a nice tasting pot of coffee within 10 minutes. It's easy to clean and requires no filter. I will stick to perked coffee from now on.

Stovetop percs are the best April 9, 2008
L. Parker
if you like hot, strong coffee as I do. I use a liquid cream so a cold creamer added to very hot coffee still remains hot. The plastic top hasn't caused any problems.
great buy April 5, 2008

This is the best little coffee pot for the money. Coffee is very hot and no grounds in the bottom of my mug. Know that you have to follow the directions and keep an eye on this pot so that it doesn't boil over--whole process takes about 20 minutes on my smooth glass top stove. If you don't have this kind of time in the morning, stick with a drip model or an electric percolator that doesn't need watching. Coffee is still fresh and hot when I drink it an hour or two after my husband has made it. Quality is very good--I expected that from Farberware; USA made--yipee! Unlike some of the other reviewers, I haven't had a problem with the small plastic top becoming too loose. I did purchase the glass replacement top but have not had to use it yet. This simple stovetop pot makes better tasting, hotter coffee than we have had over many years of using different brands of drip machines, ever since we owned the original Ohio made Mr. Coffee back in the early 70's. Well worth its bargain sale price even if you use it only on weekends and if you have the time and patience to wait for it to brew. Often, the least complicated appliances give the best results.
R.I.P. Electric Percolator March 22, 2008
Marie A. Mayer (Glen Mills, PA)
After going through 3 electric percolators (1 Farberware and 2 GEs) this past year, I decided to make coffee the old-fashion way. Boy, am I glad I bought this pot several months ago. Here is how I make our coffee: always use one tablespoon coffee per 1 cup of coffee, bring cold water to a boil then put coffee basket into pot, perk 7 minutes, shut off and leave on burner until coffee settles. (My dad is smiling in heaven knowing I remembered how to make the coffee the "real" way!)
