Just bought the Farberware FCP240 - Yowza yowza!My 8-cup Farberware version of this FCP240 gave out after about 5 years. At least I THINK it gave out. I went to plug it in, and it sparked (shorted?), and blew the fuse for that circuit. So....I didn't want to plug it in again. I don't blame the... read entire review
- Pros: Don't have to buy filters; excels at one thing-perking great tasting coffee; cleans easily
- Cons: None
- The Bottom Line: The best among percolators.

I should preface this review by stating that it is for a 50 year old model of this coffee maker. Faberware has been making this for a long time, and I recently latched onto an ancient one of these. The only difference in all these years has been the... read entire review
- Pros: Well made, nearly idiot proof design, brews hot coffee.
- Cons: Kind of ugly. Not big enough for more than one person.
- The Bottom Line: If you are tired of lukewarm drip coffee from machines that need replaced every two years, give it a try.

Still Perfect Coffee After A Year And A HalfI am the only coffee-drinker in my house and I only drink one or two cups a day. By my definition, two measured cups equal one coffee-cup sized “mug“. I am very finicky about that one cup. After being treated for lymphoma, I became concerned about... read entire review
- Pros: Fast, good tasting, consistent, all stainless steel.
- Cons: Power cord short. A plus in some cases.
- The Bottom Line: For a small coffee percolator, I would have a difficult time finding a better one than this.

My Perky Little Breakfast Mate!Anyone who has read my reviews knows how I love Farberware percolators. I went to drip-style back in the late seventies when the Mr. Coffee machines got popular, used them for years along with two of the Bunn machines. When my last Bunn died, I bought... read entire review
- Pros: very fast, delicious coffee, beautifully made, deco
- Cons: haven't found any, maybe not sufficiently high tech?
