Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Great classic looks , Percolator flavor, durably constructed, very easy to use, needs no filters.
Cons: Needs to include a longer cord. Should use a clear acryllic top for fascination effect.

When I was very young, my grandmother used an aluminum stove-top percolator. It had the clear top, so you could see the coffee perking in it, which was always fascinating, and I heard the same nostalgia and fascination repeated by others with similar...

Pros: Great tasting coffee and easy to use.
Cons: none

We purchased this when our old, I mean old, Farberware pot decided to bite the dust. We love the taste of percolated coffee and decided to upgrade. This is a wonderful product. It makes delicious coffee and is easy to use. Plus there is no glass carafe ...

Pros: Worked well in the beginning and brewed a great cup of coffee.
Cons: Did not last more than six months. Disappointed in shelf life.

I received a Farberware percolator as a Christmas gift. I was working very well for the first six months. Never a problem except for a few grinds in the bottom of the pot which was not a bother. However, a few weeks ago I noticed that the coffee was ...

Pros: Nice design and features.
Cons: Short life. Programming is convoluted / poor instructions. Limited warranty and no repair possible.

I started using a Farberware Percolator when my friends mother told me there is no coffee pot around that makes coffee as good as a Farberware Percolator. That was some 30 years ago. Some years ago, S.W. Farber, the original owner decided to close ...

Pros: Attractive, made flavorful coffee. Automatic timer works well.
Cons: Can't see the contents. Hard to use.

I bought this coffee maker because it is 12 cup, programmable and because it looked so pretty in the advertisement I saw. We use our coffee maker daily and have coffee on all day. We like 12 cups because my husband drinks coffee both before and after ...

Pros: Easy to Clean / no glass pots to break
Cons: Coffee grounds in Coffee

Farberware Stainless Steel Programmable Percolator (12-cup) FCP512S This particular model is programmable and looked easy to ...

Pros: Fast brewing with better coffee taste than drip makers
Cons: Slightly more difficult for quick use than a drip maker

Woah, the quest to find this percolator was extensive. You might consider ordering online or call first. My wife has been bugging me for a percolator like mother used to bring out for after dinner for family gatherings. I was hesitant as I'd never...

Pros: The coffee it makes tastes good!
Cons: Will eventually stop working!

The plastic knob has broken off due to corrosion from the coffee. And after ~2 years, it has completely stopped working! First, it will stop heating the coffee for the "two hour" warming period. Then, when you press "On" it will show that it is...

Pros: Makes great coffee
Cons: Very heavy, hard to see water level

I love the coffee this machine makes and, unlike the carafe type of makers, the coffee temperature is HOT which is really great.

There are just four buttons on the maker - program, clock, set, and on/off. They are easy to use but not...

Pros: Programmable
Cons: Short life span

When the 30 year old percolator that my wife & I inherited from my parents died, my wife & I decided to buy a percolator with a timer. Unfortunately, the only one available was this Farberware model. In its short life-span (2 years!), it made good...

Pros: Makes a great cup of hot coffee.
Cons: Stopped working after about 6 months!

This is the perfect coffee machine. It's a great design. Simple to run but sophisticated enough to brew coffee when you want it and keep it hot. The only problem is that after about six months, it just stopped working. The base it sits on has an...

Pros: Makes a great-tasting pot of deliciously perked coffee.
Cons: none

I don't drink coffee much and when I do it's de-caf with milk and a touch of sugar. I like to have regular coffee around though and a nice pot to make it in when company comes. To me there is nothing more homey than the aroma of freshly brewed coffee....

Pros: Coffee taste better, stays always hot
Cons: Never you know if it works or not

I got the percolator 4-12 cups with timer christmas 99. I started using it January 2000. The coffee tasted sooo much better than a normal coffee maker and it stayed always hot. I was really surprised how it works and loved my percolator. After one month...

Pros: quality finish, clock and timer, cordless
Cons: spring inside is small and could get lost.

My first coffee maker was a Farberware Percolator. I used it for 20 years before I dropped it on the floor and broke the base, and then continued to use it for another year. I felt it was time to put it in the yard sale and get another.
...

Pros: makes great coffee in no time at all
Cons: remember to empty the grinds before you pour any coffee

I wanted a percolator and I just had to have one. My husband could not understand what was wrong with our Mr. Coffee machine. All he kept saying was we have had this pot for years and the coffee is fine.

Until one day, oops....the coffee pot...
