 Great Cup of Coffee!!!! September 19, 2007
R. A. Mercer (TX USA)
This is the best coffee maker I've ever had. I've used those "drip" coffee makers for years and I will never buy another one. This works as well as a commercial coffee maker. Tired of that drip coffee bitterness? This one does not make bitter coffee! The timer is easy to use, and I enjoy getting up now to a piping hot cup of real coffee! No more running down to the corner store to get a brewed cup. I highly recommend this coffee maker to all!
 Nice updated percolator August 11, 2007
Deborah Bartholow (Mechanicsville, MD)
We love percolated coffee. My husband kept forgetting to turn the old one off so we bought this one. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that you can't override the auto shut-off feature for when you are home, etc. Sometimes because I work a different schedule the coffee is cold by the time I get some. However, the pot is beautiful, easy to set and easy to clean. We love it. I would definitely buy it again! Recommendation to manufacturer to extend auto-shutoff time to 4 hours rather than 2.
Good, hot coffee July 13, 2007
D. Goad (Fort Worth, TX)
We decided to try out a percolator when our drip maker conked out and found this one. It is easy to use; especially like the base where you do not have to plug/unplug all the time. The drip we had never kept the coffee hot enough - I was always zapping it in the microwave. This Farberware percolator keeps it hot and it tastes fresh, even after more than an hour. The automatic timer and turn off features are a real plus for us as well. The only complaint is that you may find some grounds in your cup but that may be due to the type of coffee and/or grind we get. Bottom line: like it and would get it again.

I've had this pot for about 1 1/2 yrs now.
When it was new it made good coffee, no problem.
What others have said about the programing buttons cracking is true, we knew that when we bought it (from the reviews) and we were careful but they still cracked, but are still operable.
Bad design for pouring as it only dribbles out of the spout very slowly.
The main complaint is the thermal sensor has gone weak and it shuts off the pot way before the brewing cycle is over resulting in a weak tea instead of coffee. I called Salton (who now owns this part of Farberware) and there is "NO" replacement part that they can get as it's made in "China" and parts are unavailable even to them!
No one on the internet that I can find sells this small dime sized part for the 'FCP' model pots.
So one month after the warrentee is over I now have a paper weight.
I have replaced this unit with a 'Presto' 12 cup electric perk and although it does not have the programing feature, it works great and pours 'Very' well. Not as nice of a shine to the stainless steel as the Farberware though.

I like the cordless pot, it's handy for serving but the coffee pours slowly and "glugs" making it difficult to serve. It's also difficult to remove the basket once the perking is done if you want to keep the coffee hot without getting bitter. Otherwise, it brews very fast and looks good on the counter.
