Farberware Electric Coffee Percolator, Stainless Steel Basket, Automatic Keep Warm, No-Drip Spout, 8 Cup

This Farberware 12‑Cup Electric Coffee Percolator does exactly what it’s supposed to do: it makes hot, strong coffee without drama. No apps, no settings, no confusion—just plug it in and coffee happens. The coffee comes out bold, hot, and ready to wake you up, not watery or sad. It percolates like it means it, smells amazing, and makes enough coffee to handle mornings, guests, or bad decisions from the night before. Stainless steel basket, easy to use, easy to clean, and no nonsense. If you want coffee that tastes like actual coffee and not a science experiment, this is it. Highly recommend. It doesn’t try to be fancy—it just does its job, and does it well.

We bought this electric coffee percolator to replace our Keurig in an effort to get away from the use of plastic -- especially, involving heat. We LOVE it! The coffee is great, and I think we'll actually save money buying coffee beans to grind rather than k-cups! The coffee is ready using the percolator in no more than the time it takes to make a cup using the Keurig we had. The coffee/water is very hot! The only issue I have with this electric coffee percolator so far is that the lid is hard to get off -- a very minor issue overall. My husband loves hearing the percolator stop -- means his coffee is ready! :)

This percolator is awesome! I had a Presto for like 20 years and was going to buy it again.I googled top ten percolators and the Farberware kept coming up first.So I took a chance on it.When I received it I couldn’t believe the craftsmanship in it.Very very simple and nicely made.The coffee it makes is delicious and insanely hot!!

IMPORTANT…. Update: see below, dated 4/24 & 5/24. I really wanted to like this being a percolator user for decades. I order a used 'like new' one, but it arrived more broken than 'like new' so I returned to get another new one. It does the job and makes a nice, hot, flavorful cup of coffee. It is easy to clean, although you end up cleaning it earlier than you think (see below). My problems with may just be my personal issues, idk. 1. There is no light. I knew this. But it sure would be nice to have especially when brewing process stops and then later when you glance from across the room and ask yourself, 'Did I unplug that thing?' 2. Getting the top off is not easy and hence I am afraid, in the not too distant future, the black knob will snap off. That's how hard it is to remove. There is no screw, it is welded on, so if it breaks, there is not solution other than to somehow buy another whole top, or pry it open with a tool. Neither solution is great. 3. Because the inner part of the spout is so close to the top , you really do have to remove all baskets before you start pouring. Otherwise you will be refiltering/brewing some of your coffee. The baskets are hot, drippy and before having a first cup of coffee I find myself swearing a lot early in the morning. Plus, being slightly OCD, I then find myself cleaning the whole drip system before I even pour myself a cup of coffee. Maddening! These issues could just be me being a cantankerous old man who wants an easy cup of morning jo. It does make a nice hot cup of your favorite flavorful coffee. I will use this until it breaks, but still looking for my go to percolator. UPDATE 4/24 6 months in pot was working ok until we went to plug it in and the wire attached to pot sparked. Luckily my wife was not holding the pot anywhere near that area. Smell of burning rubber, a dark burn mark on my counter and a very frightened wife. The cord had just snapped in one section exposing a bare wire. (See pic) We have a coffee bar and are careful with our coffee pots. This was not user neglect or us ‘slicing’ the cord by mistake. We don’t prepare food by coffee bar. Wrote to Faber customer service but have yet to hear from them adding to disappointment. This is very dangerous . Someone could have been shocked, the counter could have had permanent damage or if left on counter in ‘keep warm’ mode, who knows what could have happened! Very scary. And no response from CS is a big red flag! Avoid!!! Final Update 5/24: After not hearing from Farberware CS i purchases a compatible cord. It was a better cord since the wires were one piece and was actually molded into the plug. All worked well for about 3 weeks until the percolator stopped working altogether. There was a burning smell and then it stopped functioning. Between the original cord being downright dangerous, customer service being terrible, and now the product not working at all after a mere 8 months. I double down on my DO NOT BUY! AVOID AT YOUR OWN PERIL!

coffee maker is very nice, it makes a pot of coffee very quickly and the coffee is very flavorful, no burnt taste. the cord is very short about 18" long so it is difficult to plug in to the outlets in my kitchen. I don't want to use an extension cord. The pot also does not have a plastic protection cover on the pot behind the handle making it very easy to burn your fingers when handling the hot pot.

I have never used a percolator coffeemaker before. I have to say the change was great. It makes great hot coffee and was easy to use. I decided to use filters in the basket only because it is easier to clean up the used grounds. However I was going to return it because I could not get the lid off, very had to pull and I was afraid I was going to break it. My husband adjusted it for me, in the lid there are three clips and he made them looser now my pot is great. I wanted the 8 cup size because I am the only one that drinks coffee and I have to say it makes my coffee very fast also. This pot makes very hot coffee and I can let it stand for a long time so after I take out the basket if does not get stronger just stays hot. Great percolator very happy with my purchase

I replaced my falling-apart Q-brand percolator with this Farberware, which Food & Wine rated as one of the best. After a couple of months, the coffee is flavorful, stays piping hot, and it’s honestly the best home-brewed coffee I’ve ever had. It’s solidly built and feels like it’ll last for years.

I need an 8-cup percolator - twelve cup is too large. I’ve purchased Farberware pots for years and been very satisfied until my most recent purchase. They make flavorful, robust coffee quickly and keep it warm. Unfortunately the pot I purchased in August, 2024, lasted less than 18 months. It just died. I plugged it in this morning, walked away, and when I went to pour 10 minutes later, I got a cup of ice cold water. Surprising and disappointing. Thanks to all other reviewers who shared experiences with this appliance. I did order another because there are so few 8 cup percolators out there.
