Reviews around cup (4.59 of 5)

  • I could never trust the potfor a cup of coffee right away.
  • It does make a great cup of coffee but has failed after only 6 months
  • I have cleaned the inside well thinking that the cup was clogged and yet the coffee that it makes is extremely weak, almost water like.
  • This makes a great cup of coffee just like the larger one
  • Now it doesn't percolate correctly making a weak, barely hot cup of coffee

Reviews around taste (3.83 of 5)

Reviews around quality (3.70 of 5)

  • To be honest, i don't see any better quality of workmanship in the Farberware,
  • Unfortunately over the years the quality gets worse and worse
  • It's not like the product doesn't work as it's supposed to
  • They've decided it was good for their pockets to choose low cost region manufacturing (China in this case) and while maybe it's not China that has caused CRAPPY quality but instead the component parts it's still on the Farberware name
  • Quality and durability of Farberware products is still excellent in our opinion!

Reviews around farberware (3.54 of 5)

  • We have always used Farberware and love this percolator.
  • Glad Farberware still makes this old faithful coffee pot that is just right for my small kitchen.
  • They must have changed the quality to screw the public and increase their profits....what a shame, Farberware use to be a great stand by brand.
  • Too bad Farberware ruined a well designed and quality built percolator that could last 40+ years with this junk.
  • I was hoping to replace my old, reliable Farberware percolator

Reviews around fire hazard (2.65 of 5)

  • If you own one you may want to think twice about using it; it's a fire hazard

  • Pleased with product and would recommend for those who prefer percolated coffee as i do.
  • I had to jiggle the cord to get it to work as it seems it is not making a good connection with the pot

  • broken lid didnt send back but wish i would have because now doesnt work at all
  • Unfortunately they aren't made as well as the older one I
  • I have literally poured coffee out of the loose lid onto my hand
  • The main issue is the lid that doesn't properly seal (it also gets VERY hot to the touch
  • In addition, the lid is so loose you can hear the metal clanking while percolating

Reviews around heat (2.33 of 5)

  • It's not like the product doesn't work as it's supposed to
  • Basically the heating up of the plastic breaks it down and releases it into the coffee
  • For example, the base begins to loose heat causing it to heat up again and re-cycle through a second perk which makes double perked bitter coffee.

Reviews around bean (2.09 of 5)

  • My husband suggested grinding the beans on the medium to fine setting and it has made all the difference in the world.
  • Be sure to watch a few videos on how to use use it, i.e., only wood or plastic spoons to stir so the glass pot doesn't crack; whole beans you grind yourself vs. pre-ground coffee.
  • Cute as can be on the kitchen counter - looks a little retro.
  • I had to jiggle the cord to get it to work as it seems it is not making a good connection with the pot
  • At first I wasn't quite sure I liked it; I grind the beans using a conical burr grinder and was grinding them on the course setting.

Reviews around coffee grind (1.63 of 5)

  • It needs to be replaced when the coffee comes out weak with coffee grinds.
  • So for "12 cups" electric you would use 24 tablespoons of coffee grinds, and for the 8 cup stove top you would use 8 tablespoons... 3 times the amount of coffee grinds and would make the same amount of coffee
  • The instructions say to use double the amount of coffee grinds per cup as the stove top one says to use (12 cups =
