 Best cup of coffee I've ever had! Jan 03, 2009
After returning my month old Cuisinart thermal carafe coffee maker to the store where I'd purchased it (see that review!), I stopped off at the local thrift store to browse. While looking at the housewares, I spotted an old electric percolator that had never been used (the cord was still wrapped!). I purchased it. I figured if it didn't work I was only out three bucks, and if it did work, I'd be in for a treat! Well, after a little bit of research I found this to be the Farberware 2-12 cup percolator that has recently come back into popularity. Mine is the older model (made in the Bronx!) but it works like it was just newly made!
Seriously, the best cup of coffee I've ever tasted. Nice and hot, with no nasty paper filter taste. Easy to fill. Easy to pour. Easy to clean. Brews hot, stays hot, and doesn't take up all the room on your kitchen counter that all these new coffee makers do.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
 Just missed it's second birthday Dec 24, 2008
I've had this percolator for 2 years and it's been largely a disappointment. 2 issues over time.
The first was the quality of the coffee. Over time I noticed that the coffee was becoming weaker. This was most evident by the color as I would add creme. I battled this by adding more grinds. Not sure if that helped immensely, but it made me feel better.
The second was that the base with the heating element became somewhat warped and was not meeting the body of the pot cleanly. This was leading to water getting into the element despite my best effort during cleaning.
Then last night, it up and died after just short of 2 years. Last night was December 23rd. That meant I had to go buy a new coffee pot on Xmas Eve in absolutely horrible driving coniditions. I picked up a Presto 2811 this morning. It got very good reviews here so I thought I'd give it a chance. Keeping my fingers crossed. Happy Holidays!
 If you must have your morning coffee, look elsewhere. Dec 23, 2008
We've bought two of these because my wife likes the idea of old fashioned perked coffee. Both of them (after about 2 years of daily use) have stopped being reliable. Sometimes the coffee is fine, but more and more often you fill it, plug it in, it perks and you get something weak and watery and undrinkable. We've found that if you unplug it, let it cool, then perk again you usually get a good cup the second time around. But that is not why you buy an automatic coffeemaker!
I've looked up the mechanics of coffee percolators online and can't figure out why this should happen. But take it from a two-time owner, it does.
Back to Basics Dec 20, 2008
Wife bought this product as a gift to replace an ancient similar item for her very elderly parents. You know, the ones that opine "Things ain't the same as they used to be"!
It was the right size, color, and right construction. The price wasn't bad either. And, it didn't have any fancy "pretensions" to boot. Thus it was received well.
As to function, it seems to fit right in and works the way they WANT a percolator to work.
Thus everybody's happy.

Makes great coffee...nice and hot. P.S. There is no indicator light or auto-shut-off so you have to be cautious not to leave it plugged in when you leave the house.
