 HOT COFFEE July 1, 2008
Ruth M. Capolino (Philadelphia, PA)
Hello,
wand a delicious, STEAMING cup of coffee? Buy this
Farberware percolator, and you'll think you're at the local
coffee cafe. Excellent, I looked very long because I do not
like the current offering of coffee makers. This electric
perk takes care of coffee for my family of 3.
Great while it lasts! June 15, 2008
Beth Sells (Colorado Springs, CO)
We purchased our most recent Farberware percolator to replace one that no longer perked long enough (it lasted 4 years). We have used this same model coffee maker for probably 30 years (since Corning quit making their porcelain model). We have owned @ 8 through the years. and since first trying Farberware, have not used any other brand. However, with each new percolator, we have found that their life gets shorter. This latest machine quit this morning, after less than year of service. They make a great cup of rich coffee while they last but they are no longer the reliable appliance they once were. We're going to try a Cuisinart and hope for the same great flavor of perked coffee plus greater reliability.

I've owned my Farberware Perc for over 25 years. I have a second one I got an excellent deal on as a back-up. Yes they've both been repaired but they're still going strong.
For the thermostat problem I'd suggest going to a suggested repair place that is in the folder with the pot and have the repairman show you how simple it is to do your own replacing. Then stock up on the parts needed. There seemed to be a streak/batches of bad thermostats that just didn't last long. The currant one has been in use for at least 5 years. There's another part in it that can go bad too, but I'm drawing a blank right now on what it's called.
I love the ease of "perking" a pot of water with half a scoop of Oxyclean in it. Cleans up the pot in a flash and soooooo easy! Ours is in use constantly so fast and easy is the game when it's time to clean the pot. The clean pot makes the best tasting coffee. It gets pretty sad tasting when the pot is dirty.
I have to edit the cleaning part. I just got "new and improved Oxyclean" and it's got a much larger scoop in it. So I have to suggest using 2 teaspoons or a tablespoon of Oxyclean to a pot of water. Still works just as well as I just cleaned my pot.

I have been using Faberware Percolators for several years and this is the worst one I have ever gotten. I think it was used, and passed off as new and I am very unhappy with it.

I have owned several Farberware stainless steel percolators. They are beautiful and make delicious coffee but the thermostat wears out in as little as 8 months. The longest I have had one last is 16 months. I just can't afford them any more. The one exception is a little four cupper that I bought at an estate sale used. I suspect that it is one of the old ones that was truly a Farberware. The Farberware name was purchased by Salton years ago. What burns me the most is that you can't buy replacement thermostats. I suspect that this is by design.
I have a Presto pot which is equally good looking and makes equally good coffee. It came with a two year warranty and is still going strong after 10 years. The only drawback is that the last half-cup has dregs but we hav learned to be careful when the pot nears empty.
