Still in warranty, I called to make a claim. We have used Farberware Percolators since the 1960's. Our last purchase, an eight cup, lasted only one month. I found the "customer service rep" so uncooperative and plain hateful that I decided to skip the warranty and go elsewhere. The "lady" that I talked to is meaner than water moccasin.
If you want hot coffee just for a couple of people this is the pot for you. One thing to be careful of is the coffee gets really hot. My wife was just tired of having the big Mr Coffee sitting on our counter when she only really needed 10 cups of coffee a couple of times a year. She says "this percolator is beautiful and makes a nice addition to the kitchen". I don't use any cream or milk so I pour mine before making breakfast. My wife uses milk so hers is just right as is.
Boy I'm glad noone snatched it up. I received this little beauty for a wedding gift 13 years ago but didn't start using it until 2 months ago. I love it. My regular drip machine broke and I had put this in a garage sale for a buck and noone bought it. Instead of donating it I shoved it away and pulled it out after my drip machine died. Great tasting coffee in a snap. I would definetly buy another when this gets wore out.
had trouble finding this particular coffee maker and was so happyi found it here.it's one of the best
Part of it is because you can actually hand wash every surface the water and coffee will touch, unlike the plastic reservoirs you dump water into on an auto-drip. It makes consistently excellent coffee, hotter and MUCH fresher tasting than any automatic drip I've ever had. I bought this coffee maker about 8 months ago and have used it almost every day since. I actually get cravings for coffee at night while I'm cleaning it and look forward to the morning when I can brew another pot. It is no harder than an automatic drip maker to clean and you don't have to deal with soggy filters. In fact, usually I make coffee in the morning and wash the percolator at night and actually ENJOY cleaning the percolator because it's all stainless steel and easily gets cleaner than the plastic parts of an auto-drip. When I periodically clean it with Dip It cleaner for percolators, it's like having a brand new percolator. To sum up: FRESH, delicious coffee.
