Great item. Our second one. First one lasted for 30 Years. Superfast to make coffee, great all around

I am a coffee fiend. Must be hot and the only way for really hot coffee is to perk it. I have been a farberware user for close to 30yrs. I have had many problems w/my previous pots so I am trying again. I love this pot it is ready in no-time. A must have for the coffee connoisseur in you.

I have bought several coffee makers over the years including one of the fancy "1-cup, quick brew models" and I just couldn't seem to get a GOOD cup of coffee unless I went to Starbucks.. Then I remembered that my mother in-law had an old perculator coffee pot that made a perfect cup of coffee everytime, so I went in search of one and I came upon this one and I love it! I wish I had gotten the 12 cup, but didn't because it didn't get very good reviews, however 8 cups just isn't enough for my household so we end up making 2 pots, not a big deal because it does make a pot quickly. I also love that I have no filters to buy.

Farberware FCP280 8-Cup PercolatorAfter going through two of the newer type Farberware percolators in a little over two years, I went back to my old, beatup Farberware (with the hex nut in the bottom). It lasted quite a number of years but finally quit one morning. I was afraid to try the newer version again, but felt perhaps they had worked out the "bugs" (such as the "glug-glug" when pouring). I was pleasantly surprised to find they had updated the pot, along with a new type of cord. It works as well as the old pot. Am happy I tried it again.

I am now a die-hard percolator fan. I feel downright "snobby" now when I drink coffee. I even threw my old drip away. This baby is great, but within three months, the cord developed a bad connection and I have to hold the cord in order make it perk. I'm more in need of my morning cup than I am afraid of getting shocked. I'm now purchasing a Farberware stove top perk.
