Farberware FCP280 8-Cup Percolator

I bought this item a few years ago to replace a cheapo plastic coffeemaker that made awful tasting coffee when its carafe finally cracked. I chose this style of coffeemaker not because I'm a coffee snob (I would be if I wasn't so cheap!) but because my parents have a similar design that's lasted them about thirty years and counting, and I concluded this was the most practical choice. No thin glass carafes that can chip, crack or break, no flimsy, fliddly plastic parts (that make you wonder what kind of nasty chemicals are leaching out of them into your hot, acidic coffee every day), no paper filters to buy again and again (that make you wonder whether you should be paying more for unbleached organic filters because again, are scary things leaching into your hot, acidic coffee?). It hasn't disappointed. It makes great coffee and I anticipate it lasting for years. Clean-up is also very easy with this; before I had a dishwasher I had the hardest time cleaning out all the grooves in the plastic cup that held the grounds in my old coffeemaker. No such problem with this one!

We are very happy with this product. Keeps coffee piping hot, and very flavorful.
Only downside is there is no water /coffee level viewer on the outside.
I thoroughly recommend this coffeepot!

Great item. Our second one. First one lasted for 30 Years. Superfast to make coffee, great all around

I am a coffee fiend. Must be hot and the only way for really hot coffee is to perk it. I have been a farberware user for close to 30yrs. I have had many problems w/my previous pots so I am trying again. I love this pot it is ready in no-time. A must have for the coffee connoisseur in you.

I have bought several coffee makers over the years including one of the fancy "1-cup, quick brew models" and I just couldn't seem to get a GOOD cup of coffee unless I went to Starbucks.. Then I remembered that my mother in-law had an old perculator coffee pot that made a perfect cup of coffee everytime, so I went in search of one and I came upon this one and I love it! I wish I had gotten the 12 cup, but didn't because it didn't get very good reviews, however 8 cups just isn't enough for my household so we end up making 2 pots, not a big deal because it does make a pot quickly. I also love that I have no filters to buy.
