Pleased with coffee maker
I bought a Farberware 8 cup percolator and am pleased with it. The only thing that is a 'minus' is that the black 'knob' on the lid loosens easily and it looks like it was soldered in. We owned the same model in a smaller size for about 12 years and that had the same defect - knob would unscrew if you tried to loosen lid by turning knob to get lid off. I didn't think a newer edition would have the same defect! I think I'll just have my son=in-law fix it as he has every tool known to mankind. I'm sure he can solder it into a permanent position.
Great Coffee... Only Lasts About 2-3 years!
I have fallen into Faberware's diabolical plan... I have replaced the same make and model percolator that I purchased 2.5 years ago. I debated whether to try another brand, but everyone says that percolators just don't last the way they once did.... That way they can sell MORE of them! A diabolical plan indeed!
But after consideration of the 2.5 years of GREAT coffee I had with Farberware FCP280 8-Cup Percolator, I went ahead and bought another one, which just arrived today. Maybe this one will last a full THREE years! Wouldn't that be nice? We will see... If this one fails, then I will write to Faberware and DEMAND a free replacement!
Love It
We bought the 8-cup model after our plastic West Bend went south. I absolutely love this coffeepot! Why on earth anyone would use a drip coffeemaker when they can have this one is a mystery to me. The coffee is quick, hot and wonderful! After reading many of the negative reviews, most having to do with the newer ones, made somewhere else, I'm hesitant to buy a new one. Unfortunately, the thermostat on ours is getting a little tired, so we'll try replacing it. If that doesn't work we'll take our chances on a new one, or maybe a refurbished one (hopefully American-made. Yeah, right.) OR I'll send my auction-addicted husband on a mission. I'll not be without this coffeepot.
Farberware 8 Cup Percolator
This is a great Percolator...makes fabulous coffee and quick. The coffee is very hot (which I like), and keeps the coffee fresh tasting even after a couple of hours sitting. I love it and would recommend it to anyone
