great coffee
I really enjoy my cup of coffee and this one does it just right. I really like this coffee percolator. I am going to get one for my mother because she loves it also. If you're looking for a nice looking percolator, this is the one!!!!!Enjoy your cup of coffee.
Top clear PLASTIC knob top melts...
Great pot ~ except for the clear PLASTIC knob on top. After two or three uses, the base of the knob melts during percolation and the knob cannot be used any longer. I contacted FARBERWARE Corporation for a glass replacement, but they do not offer one. Generic glass percolator tops do not fit. Purchased new plastic replacement tops from Farberware, but the same thing happened. That is the BIGGEST drawback with this percolator. Could be a potentially dangerous item. Top can come off while pouring coffee and someone could get scalded. Farberware didn't stand behind their product when I informed them of the problem.
not what it used to be
coffee did not perk very good and coffee grounds in the coffee.
Great Little Pot
It was just what I have been looking for better than I expected.
good coffee, not so good product
The coffee tasted much better in these, but:
1. After two cleans, the top mica knob (I think it mica instead of glass) cannot screw back in any more.
2. You have to dry inside the pot with paper towels or it will rust. I left my to dry by itself and rust start to show inside the pot.
So after two used, I have to throw this out because of the rust and the bad knob.
