• Best cup of coffee I've ever had!
  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... more info

• Just missed it's second birthday
  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.

• Back to Basics
  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.
