great product
although the product is a lil loud (i use it at wrk @ my desk), it gets hot fast!

Good Java! Enhances the Coffee Flavor!
I Bought this to use on vacation in Hotel. It's a(plug in) My coffee in the am before anything is very important. I will never use a regular coffee drip machine again. Love the flavor of the coffee when brewed in this percolator. Only thing is putting it together and setting it up. Takes a few minutes longer than regular coffee machine, but so worth it!

Not what it used to be
I've been brewing coffee in Farberware percolators for over 40 years. Used to be the best coffee pot in the world, in our opinion. NO MORE! The last two (2-4 cup models) died out within a year. I purchased this coffee pot in April, 2010.Worked fine for two months. Got back from vacation, now, the coffee brewing cycle starts and stops half way through leaving just a watery brew. Got a new cord thinking that was the problem, it wasn't. Obviously, the quality of these percs is gone! Only got a good cup of coffee for 3 months. I will not waste any more money on these. Very disappointed.

Unhappy
I bought a Farberware 4 cup Perc for my self and one for my friend as a gift in March of 2009. His stopped working a year later and mine stopped working last month. I am very disappointed. Obviously Farberware quality has gone down the drain. They worked good while they worked, but I planned on getting more than a little over a year out of them. Will never buy Farberware again.

Excellent coffee
The first thing my husband said when I handed him a cup of coffee made in this cute little pot is "it's not bitter". That's been a problem for him, especially with various coffeemakers we've tried (single cup, small drip, & stainless carafe drip). Most importantly for me, the coffee is smooth & it's hot. I like a hot cup that's not too strong, but not wishy washy either. This fills the bill.

I use regular basket filters (cut a small hole in middle) to make sure there's no silt in the bottom of the pot. It perks quickly (about 4 minutes) & makes 4 Fiesta mugs, which is plenty for our daily morning needs. I measured the temp of the coffee & it was 180 degrees using my instant thermometer.

The longevity of the electrical system remains to be seen and I wish it had a red light to show when it is in keep warm mode. I make sure to never leave the kitchen with it plugged in. All in all, after using this for a few weeks, I'm very happy with my purchase.
