Farberware Electric Coffee Percolator, FCP240, Stainless Steel Basket, Automatic Keep Warm, No-Drip Spout, 4 Cup

I bought this percolator after learning about microplastics and how they leach toxic chemicals into water, food, and air, especially when in contact with hot liquid. The hot water comes in contact with the metal only, making it safe and delicious cup of coffee. The percolator makes a smooth, delicious cup of coffee. Far superior to a standard coffee pot or K-Cup coffee maker.Additionally, it's easy to use. Assembly is a snap, and it takes approximately 5 minutes to percolate. Once it's done, it switches to a warm setting, keeping the coffee hot as long as you need. Clean up takes about 4-5 minutes, and I let it air dry on our drying mat.The marks for the number of cups are on the inside, which are easy to see. I read a few reviews complaining about this feature, but it's plainly visible inside the pot as you fill it with water. I also read a few critiques about the pot not signaling when it's done brewing, but you can hear it switch from percolating to warming.One important feature to note, the coffee comes out very hot. Hotter than a standard coffee pot, so I pour a full cup immediately after percolation is complete and let it sit for 3-4 minutes to cool a bit.This coffee pot is one of the best I've used, and it's toxin-free! The price is comparable to a good, standard coffee pot, and I highly recommend it for a smooth, delicious, toxin-free cup of coffee.

I bought this 4-cup electric coffee pot because it's very small and compact, and perfect to throw into a suitcase so you don't have to drink funky hotel coffee. It's all metal, so nothing to break, and it couldn't be simpler to operate. Literally just plug it in, and it stops percolating when the coffee is ready. It switches automatically to "warmer" mode, and to let it cool down or turn it off, just unplug it. It doesn't even have any buttons or dials to mess with, and nothing digital or computerized. Perfect!

Already had it's little Brother, now happy to have the 12 cup big boy. Perc coffee is far superior to drip coffee and is hotter too. I have had the smaller version over 20 years, never an issue. I set it up the night before, plug it into a wifi outlet plug, program the plug to have my coffee ready anytime I want it, no need for a "Programable Coffee Maker". Think about it: a drip coffee maker moves the water thru the coffee grounds ONE TIME, the percolator gets the water hotter and sends it thru the grounds again, and again to wring out more flavor. It is a far superior coffee system. The smaller one is perfect for travel, it makes two large cups of quality coffee quickly when I travel, K Kup stuff cannot compare. 5 minutes for the 6 cup, 10 minutes for the 12 cup. For quality coffee and durability, these are top of the line.

I've wanted a percolator style coffee pot for a long time, decided on this one and after a week of use and daily cleaning I am happy with the overall quality and use. There's nothing fancy about this, I don't use filters, haven't had any grounds leak through in seven days of use. You plug it in, it starts working within seconds, takes maybe five minutes give or take to perk the whole cycle and coffee remains hot even when unplugged for the rest of the morning. I wouldn't expect it to hold up to commercial use, the brand isn't known for it's longevity, and being made in PRC says all that needs saying, but alas it does what it's designed to do for now.

What a great, simple coffee pot that makes a great HOT cup of coffee! I am making the effort to get rid of anything contributing or contaminating with microplastics in my eating /kitchen/laundry/water (a lot of internet research but it’s important folks…trying to avoid micro and nanoplastic dementia) and this little pot is the answer for that problem at least for coffee makers.As for the complaints in other reviews: 1. The instruction paper says to wet the coffee basket first to prevent grounds from sifting through. We have no grounds in the coffee! 2. Fill marks: instructions tell you where they are and max fill (HINT: the bottom of the pump tube spring). The fill markings are on both the inside and outside. JUST READ THE BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOLKS! 3. Yes, you have to unplug it to turn it off. An auto shut off would be terrific but not a deal breaker. I bought the 8 cup version since there are only 2 of us here. Highly recommend this coffee maker.

5 Stars Love this little percolator!This percolator is awesome. It makes nice, hot coffee and actually keeps it hot, which I really appreciate. Just the right size for a few cups, super easy to use and clean, and it has that great old-school vibe. Definitely a solid buy if you’re into good coffee without the fuss
