Product Description:

If you grew up in the 1940's and 1950's, it's more likely you saw a coffee percolator like this one on your parents' stovetop. The origins of the percolator go back to about 1818 in France. Prior to that, coffee was made in vacuum pots or was boiled. By the middle to late 1800's travelers immigrating to the United States from Europe brought these percolators with them. Many of these pots made coffee for families that used wood stoves on their journey westward. This Farberware model follows that classic design but is made of stainless steel. It's easy to use, clean, and maintain. You can expect years of quality service from this coffee maker. Farberware has added a stay-cool handle to help make pouring a lot easier. It truly is a classic refined.

Amazon.com Review:

Sleek and contemporary, this gleaming percolator brews from four to eight cups of coffee on the stovetop for full, old-fashioned flavor. A permanent filter basket (no messy paper filters needed) provides modern efficiency. The handle is synthetic (to stay cool) and slightly textured, a combination ensuring safe, comfortable pouring. Because the percolator is made of highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, the beauty of its gleaming mirror finish is long-lasting. To fully maintain the finish, the percolator should be hand washed, although the filter basket and glass cap can go into the dishwasher. The percolator stands 8-1/2 inches high on a 6-1/4-inch-diameter base. --Fred Brack

Does Its Job at a Bargain Price
OK, do you like perked coffee? I do, but it ain't for everybody. If you like it perked, you can't do better than this model. Timeless styling, and stainless steel (not that aluminum junk). Works flawlessly, goes right into the dishwasher. My only gripe is that it does not come with operating instructions. My technique is, once you load it up with water and coffee, bring to a boil, reduce the heat a little, and let it perk for 4 and half minutes. Watch out, perked coffee is (literally) boiling hot!

Stovetop percolator
I love this stovetop percolator; it makes an excellent pot of coffee - good and hot! There's nothing to break, and it will last forever. I would highly recommend it. Also, you can't beat the price.

Makes ADC Obsolete
For the past 20 years or more I've used ADC systems; they don't compare to perked coffee. But, I never felt comfortable with the old style aluminum perculators because of the potential for drinking disolved metallic salts - a personal thing. Also, ADC systems can grow bacteria quickly that I'd prefer not to drink. This perculator brewed a nice tasting pot of coffee within 10 minutes. It's easy to clean and requires no filter. I will stick to perked coffee from now on.

Stovetop percs are the best
if you like hot, strong coffee as I do. I use a liquid cream so a cold creamer added to very hot coffee still remains hot. The plastic top hasn't caused any problems.
