Well-made percolator....great cup of coffee.
This is my first experience owning a percolating coffee maker. We've had traditional, plastic, top-drip style, coffeepots for years. I didn't expect such a drastic improvement in taste. The bitter aftertaste I've grown accustomed to is gone. I don't know if it's the completely stainless steel interior or the percolating style of brewing, but I'm a believer. But, lest this turn into a debate of percolating vs. drip-style coffee makers, let's move on to the pros and cons.
Pros:
- Stainless steel construction is always superior to plastic for anything food-related (or drink-related). It's so much easier to keep clean and won't degrade like plastic or cloud up like glass. The polished look of the exterior and components is very nice.
- While I'm not generally a fan of plastic parts, the parts that are made from plastic on this unit are sensible. The plastic handles make it possible to grab the lid or the pot without a hot-pad. The plastic base helps prevent...
Not like the older pots
We have been percolator coffee users for 35 years. The best on the market has always been Farberware. although percolators are getting harder to find I thought we hit the jackpot at Amazon. Not only did we find a percolator pot but a Faberware 12cup coffee maker at a really fare price under $50. Unfortunately, although it works, it's not like the older models. Looks the same but way lighter & frankly just doesn't make a good cup of coffee. Disappointing! We have even added extra coffee, makes it better but not great.
Electric Perk Pot
Farberware is should be named forever wear. This pot makes coffee fast and you really get the good flavor of perked coffee every time. Far superior to the drip pots and durable. Seems like they last forever. Excellent value. If your a real coffee lover this is the way to go. I bought 2 pots one 8 cup and the other 12 cup. We also bought a 4 cup we take on the road so we don't have to drink the hotel stuff.
