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

This really makes the best homemade coffee. Just to help you all out with knowing how much coffee to put in: fill the pot up to the top line and add 5 tablespoons of coffee and it’s perfect every time!! I love this coffeemaker because I don’t make coffee for others, I just made it for myself! Honestly, this IS the perfect size pot for a perfectly brewed cup of coffee that’s done quick and effortlessly👌

Makes a good cup of coffee. Not 4 cups, just one good mug full. Very happy with this basically single serve pot. Good, hot and fast.

This pot has always beaten any coffee pot .Hot coffee every time.No grounds in cup and the aroma is a tease to the 1st sip. Beats Keurig and nespresso .It is also quick.

This percolator ended my search for great coffee in the comfort of my own home. Makes full bodied, really flavorful HOT coffee in just a few minutes. I make 4 cups for 2 robust mugs. When I'm done with my first, the second is hot and ready. Until one morning last week when my second cup was there for me, but only warm. That's when I started looking for support for my problem. Amazon product support took me to Black & Decker; which referred me to Farberware; Farberware doesn't support electric appliances, so directed me to Spectrum Products. Spectrum's website shows no support for Farberware. Phone support for any of these is not available as a result of damage from Hurricane Melissa. Any suggestions for product support for an appliance under warranty? I love this percolator, but I would be reluctant to replace it.

This is a perfect little pot for one or two people. I ground my beans and it took less than 5 mins to percolate and defaulted to a warm setting automatically. Reasonably priced and quality construction. Perfect!

i bought this july 2023. this review is march 2024. this item makes TRASH COFFEE *but* it is only a slightly high price for a pitcher to make excellent pour-over coffee if you prefer steel over glass (which i do) and more than a single cup at a time. this is my first percolator. i was coming off trader joe's instant coffee since working from home in our covid-endemic era. at my office, i drank the peet's brewed in the kitchen. instant tj is an ok approximation to peet's brewed cos at least it is wayyyy better than folger's. at first this percolator coffee tasted fine (amazon, starbucks, peet's, dunkin) cos it tasted like tj instant and i'd already adjusted myself down to that flavor/quality. issue 1: after a while, i wanted afternoon coffee so i made a pour-over cup and discovered what incredible trash coffee this percolator makes. same grinds had AMAZING flavor as pour-over but were only a moderately acceptable instant-like flavor from the percolator. SAME GRINDS. issue 2: the bottom has straight slits (same as the spreader/basket lid) instead of holes and they became clogged so i ordered filters which caused the coffee to come out GOLDEN. since i can't see the percolator operate, i speculate that the water either (1) never enters the basket and instead flows out the wide gap along the rim of the spreader, OR (2) enters the basket but passes over the folded filter top (which filter has holes at the four corners to specifically fold over the straw) and exits through the slits along the top side of the basket (never actually reaching the bottom of the basket). CONFIRMATION: today i poured the percolator's golden water into an electric kettle, let the percolator cool to remove its lid, boiled the golden water, and poured it over the spreader myself. i made sure the water never exited the wide gap along the rim of the spreader (speculation #1). COFFEE STILL GOLDEN. i didn't observe whether the water flowed through the slits along the top side of the basket (speculation #2) but i was super mad so didn't even try to use the spreader again. instead, i again poured the percolator's golden water into my electric kettle, boiled the golden water, and unfolded the top of the filter -- and poured the boiling golden water directly over the grinds (not over filter paper) -- and got AMAZING POUR-OVER COFFEE. this percolator makes (1) trash coffee without a filter, and (2) golden coffee with a filter. btw the filters are 'Melitta White Wrap Around Coffee Filter for Percolator' and i'm returning them cos they brew golden coffee. i will use this percolator as a pour-over pitcher. i will use my steel pour-over cone with its filters (no percolator basket, no percolator straw). conclusion THIS PERCOLATOR IS TRASH but a $60 pitcher if you prefer steel over glass (and more one pour-over cup) is pretty much as good as it gets cos i don't even see any others. oh well.

Super nice pot for 1-4 cups. Coffee is so much better than pod machines. Made well. So glad I ordered it!

Hands down, makes the best cup of coffee I've had. I never used a percolator before I bought this one and it does have a slight learning curve (had to adjust my measurements - I use a bit more grounds than in a drip coffee maker). As the other reviews say, this does brew at a higher temperature than drip or a Keurig style coffee machine, which is great for me as I use a ton of creamer - it is still very hot after adding. I wish it had auto shut-off or even an "off" button, but so far I've remembered to unplug it after I'm done. It's easy to take apart and clean up once it's cooled down a bit. It takes up very little space on my counter (I mean it is tiny) so would be great for anyone lacking counter space. I get 2 big cups of coffee plus a bit more out of it. The stainless steel is very sleek and shiny. As long as it's plugged in, your coffee will stay hot although I do recommend unplugging no more than 30 minutes after you brew so your coffee doesn't get scorched. After it's unplugged coffee stays hot for at least an hour. I have noticed a speck or two of grounds does make its way into the pot but considering how delicious it brews that is no problem at all in my opinion. It cost less than my drip coffee machine did too. This was one of the best purchases I've made in a long time, highly recommend!
