Review 1 for Farberware 4-Cup Percolator
gift was a hit

I bought this for my Mom, who was using the 12 cup model and lamenting that she missed her 4 cup percolator. She loves this little pot, has owned one most of the time for many years until she couldn't find it anymore (She doesn't shop online). Walmart is the only local store that has it, although only online. I used Ship to Store, which I liked. All in all, Mom loves this coffeepot. She said it makes good tasting coffee and stays pretty hot. Her only negative comment was that the body, basket, stem and cord are thinner and not as well made as the old ones used to be. Unfortunately, that's true of most things these days.

I got my first one for a wedding present 40 years ago. This is our third little one (4 cup) and we have a big one (8 cup). I find coffee much more flavorful than with a drip maker. Great size for 2 people.

Do you really want a percolator?

This is a mixed review. Farberware products are great quality and never let you down. That said--you need to be certain that you know what you are getting into when you switch from a drip coffee maker to a percolator.
I knew that anything made by Farberware would be a great product. What I didn't know was the ins and outs of owning a percolator.
I never used a percolator before, but read online that they make wonderful, aromatic coffee. Now that is very likely true, but . . . the coffee is so hot that I had to wait at least 30 minutes to drink it. And I just don't have that much time in the mornings before work. Secondly, I didn't expect to find coffee grounds in my cup. Yuk. Not used to that. I even tried using a drip coffee filter to keep the grounds in their little basket.
So--as enticing and appealing as the percolator sounded, it just wasn't for me. Back to my old standby drip coffee maker.
As usual, Walmart was wonderful about allowing me to return the item when things don't work out.

The only thing I don't like about this pot is that there is no on/off switch. I guess I'm spoiled with the coffee makers that all you have to do is turn the pot off and keep the plug in. Otherwise the coffee is nice and hot and that's what I never liked about coffee makers.

Excellent Percolator
,03/10/2011
By FirstGizmo ,

Best coffee I have ever tasted and a very reasonable price. One year warranty instead of the usual 90 day you get with other electric products.
I have a friend who uses this coffee pot. Her coffee was always the best I've ever had. The price of this coffee pot was very reasonable and the 4 cup model is perfect for me.
Not only does it make a pot of coffee faster than a drip type, the coffee is "hot" not lukewarm like from a drip maker and is always delicious.
Farberware has always had a good reputation for making quality products. I still have, and use daily, a set of cookware that is over 30 years old and still cooks and looks like it is new. Their reputation is why I chose this pot.
I have only one concern and it is the lid. The handle on top is not replaceable, I'm wondering what will happen. Knowing the Farberware reputation, , I believe that they will replace it with a new one.

Review 12 for Farberware 4-Cup Percolator
Extremely Disappointed
,02/17/2011
By NHConsumer55 ,

I bought this coffee maker, because it got such high reviews. I had been looking at many coffee makers, some that I thought would be good, but the reviews were not so good with some of them. I thought I would listen to what others had to say.
My opinion.. Anyone who knows what a good cup of coffee is supposed to taste like, would not like the coffee that comes out of this coffee maker.
All I have to say is, it looks and tastes like muddy water, and even the least expensive of the drip coffee makers would make much better coffee. I am now not afraid to purchase anything that I choose on my own, I listened to the reviews, and lost out. I will not be returning it, I will keep it as a lesson learned.

Review 13 for Farberware 4-Cup Percolator
Questionable longevity
,02/05/2011
By SkepticalMary ,

I am holding my breath on this one. The 4-cup percolator looks great, is compact and just what my 90-year old mother-in-law wants. However, I am skeptical and holding my breath--hence the mediocre ratings. I'd love to give it a perfect 5, but past experience has me very skeptical the perfect score will last. Farberware used to be thet top of the line; however, recent past experience tells me they are resting on past laurels. This is the 3rd exact same 4-cup coffee pot I have purchased from 3 different suppliers all at about the same price in the past 6 years. The last pot barely lasted 2 years! This for a woman who perks 4 pots of coffee A WEEK. The pot is not suffering from overuse. It is a lovely, small pot for one person in a small apartment with limited counter space. Le's see if it lives up to its promise this time around.

This coffee pot is the greatest. It perks the coffee like in the Good old Days. It smells so good in the house as it perks. It is also fast.
Buy it you will be so glad you did.

This coffee maker makes great coffee fast. Its easy to clean and great looking. I like the fact it has a detachable cord and can be taken to the breakfast table. Only thing I see that needs to be improved is the water level mark inside the pot should be more readable. Its kind of hard to see.

In a world where everything you buy is of questionable quality, farberware still makes a decent percolator. If you prefer the taste of perked coffee, this percolator is a great investment. It works fast, is easier to clean than traditional percolators and is made of high quality materials. We're completely satisfied.

with no coffee filters to mess with and no carafe to break, and this is a perfect size for a single person or a couple. The only criticism I have is that you have to unplug it to turn it off; otherwise, it stays on and hot until you do. So I wish it had an on/off switch. But this is just something to get used to, not really a problem. Overall, this is the best coffee maker I know of.
