This percolator works fine -- BUT there are no inside measurement markings as stated in product handbook and/or as one would expect. I can live with this but it falls below what I would expect from Farberware and quite frankly cannot understand why this would happen. Also, I would rather pay $2 more for a glass percolator top than have to order separately from another seller.
This is a no problem coffee maker, and it makes Great coffee. Percolators give the whole house that coffee aroma, which is absent in dripers. Gary in Tampa
First of all I will say that this is a quality product. The glass top I purchased listed all the brands that would fit and Farberware was listed. None of this is a problem since I was planning to replace the plastic top with a glass one, which I found at a local hardware store for $3 and some change.
The clear top is made of plastic when the advertisement states that it is glass. Be advised - I found 2 different diameters of replacement tops and the smaller of the two, with a stainless steel backing nut, fit the percolator. It is not advertised correctly.
When ordering this percolator, the website says that people also ordered a glass top, which I would recommend. I did not want a plastic one because I have this thing about not drinking from or storing in plastic containers. The plastic top was cross threaded and when I removed it, with some force, in order to thread it correctly, the black plastic trim/gasket broke.
The larger one would not and what I am driving at is you may want to be sure that the glass top advertised will fit. The percolator is very sturdy and shiny and makes a good coffee, my only complaint is about the plastic top that was poor quality and advertised as being made out of glass, and for that reason I am only rating with 4 stars instead of 5.
Got this baby to replace my 3 month old Paula Dean Percolator - thank goodness for Faberware. Now my coffee brews is 7 minutes, doesn't boil over and the handle stays cool.
My Grandma is 101 years old & still does her own cleaning & cooking. But she refused to try one & wouldn't even consider an electric percolater. So I went to amazon, where I find just about everything I can't find anywhere else, & got her this coffeepot. She won't try anything new. So this product has my Grandma's stamp of approval on it. So, when she finally needed to replace her coffee pot, she asked me to take her to the store to get one. She's also, as one would expect, a little old-fashioned. Said she had received one as a gift, but it's still in a box in the basement.
But you can't find these coffee pots anywhere. I explained to her about the drip coffee-makers we all use "now-a-days". My Grandma'a pretty fussy so I wasn't sure this coffeepot would pass the test.but she loves it. That's really saying something.
