Travel Percolator

The product performed up to our expectations on a recent trip. We're very pleased.

great option

We got our percolator so we can make more coffee at once when we have guests. I am a convinced fan of the Turkish style that gives me a strong, fragrant and foamy cup. I was very circumspect about this percolator, but we are using it exclusively now and I love the coffee! It is easy to use, fast, and the coffee is strong and it doesn't change taste if you leave it in the percolator, as long as you remove the grounds.
Overall we are very happy with this choice.

Back to basics

After breaking several glass carafes on drip coffee pots I decided to get back to the basics of coffee making. I chose the Farberware FCP280 8-cup percolator to experiment with. What a joy! Good coffee and quickly made. Easy to clean up and no glass to break. The only thing I had forgotten about percolators is they are quite a bit noisier than the drip ones. It sounds like the space shuttle going off but brews quickly so the noise is short-lived. My experiment worked for me!!

More information necessary

I need a coffeemaker that brews 2 cups of coffee. I am the only coffee drinker in the house and need one mug of coffee in the morning. I had hoped that this percolator would be more attractive than my 2-4 cup DeLonghi. The new kitchen counters need a silvery, bright coffeemaker, not the dark plastic DeLonghi. Stupid me! The Farberware makes good coffee at the 4 cup setting. At a 2 cup level, the coffee is just light brown water. It's awful. One can make 4 to 8 cups of coffee in this percolator, but not 2 cups. Nowhere in the advertising or the description online or in the instructions booklet does it say so. It should be in the advertising - "If you want to make 2 cups of coffee, buy our smallest size Farberware percolator." They don't tell you that. I had to try several times to brew a decent mug full of coffee. There was no help in finding someone who knew anything about this appliance until much searching on the web, after a weekend when everyone was unavailable. The consumer rep at Macy's, a wonderful lady, did try, and I was grateful for her support. She needed more information about the appliance, too. The booklet that came with the percolator referred questions to "the telephone number on the cover of this booklet." There's no telephone number anywhere in or on the booklet. I finally figured it out for myself. There's a level 2 marked on the coffeemaker, but at that level, too little water gets heated too fast; it ricochets off the ground coffee in the basket and never stays in contact with that coffee long enough to extract any flavor from it. With this size percolator, I can make 4 cups of very good coffee when I need that much coffee. My trusty old DeLonghi still makes my breakfast coffee every morning. Looks are not everything.
