Purchased 10/24. Stopped perculating the water through the basket 3/25. So disappointed in the product.TAKE BACK MY FIRST REVIEW.I found my error in cleaning the spring on my percolator. It works fine. Phew! Still an expensive pot but I love the traditional Farberware products.

I'm using this aluminum coffee pot & gave away my coffee POD machine. I no longer wanted to use plastic with hot water for my coffee. Counter space about the same as POD machine, but shorter, nicer looking. Cheaper to use ground coffee instead of the PODs. Brews several cups at one time. I then put brewed coffee in a thermos & unplug the coffee maker. I like the taste better than the PODs & can adjust the strength easily just by adding more or less ground coffee.

Got this FCP280 for it's size, 8 cup perculator after not owning one for a few years.No pilot lights on it. No progress clrar top. Detachable HD grounding cord is about 2 feet long. Heavy gage ss metal.Measured 937 watts percolating and 47 watts on keep warm after percilating. Keep warm mode makes noise of water on hot surface, perhaps too much wattsge for the heating bowl of 1-2 cubic inches.Overall, happy with it though concerned for the noise during keep warm function and the cord could be longer, pilot light would've been a plus.

Buenos materiales y calidad de ensamble

Me gusta es rápida y muy práctica ya e tenido en esta marca solo queda esperar a ver q tal funciona con el tiempo

Excelente cafetera!!!

Deja muy bien el café caliente y de buen sabor

Me ha gustado el percolator pero más bien es para tres tazas y no seis como dice serlo.

Ya había tenido una igual y me funcionaba muy bien y la que acabo de comprar igual me funciona excelente, muy buen café se prepara con la cafetera, la recomiendo.

Update 4.13.23I returned a very good I got in poor condition from Amazon Warehouse, first time this has happened, so I decided to give it another go. I ordered this one like new, I have not used it yet, but as I previously stated I own one that is easily two decades old and like it so much I want another for work/secondary residence (gf's house). This time Amazon delivered a like new item - as advertised. Again the only improvement to this work horse and major player in the coffee game would for it to completely shut off about an hour after it is initially plugged in to prevent scorching the stem and the bottom of the pot should all the coffee evaporate. The coffee maker goes into a stay warm mode once the coffee is made. On my older model I have literally written "unplug me" with a picture of an electrical plug on the top in permanent marker to remind my self to unplug it once the coffee is made. I've forgotten to unplug it twice, first time I majorly scorched the bottom in the hole where the stem sits and the stem. I had to use steel wool & scouring powder to get the char off, second time (a few days ago) it was minor and used a blue scrubbing pad. Some char remains but it does not affect the taste of the coffee. Four stars, great product highly recommend especially if you can get it in good condition at a discounted price.Initial Review:I inherited a coffee pot like this from my Father he used to drink a lot of coffee and it was definitely used. First off, let me say this is a GREAT coffee maker. I got tired of buying k-cups and brought the heavy artillery back out. I thought this coffee pot is so good I'll buy another one and take it to work or my girlfriend's house. Ordered this (first) one USED VERY GOOD. I have not bought anything directly from Amazon Warehouse that was listed in very good/like new condition that was not in excellent shape, very little to no visible signs of use. Until now, the box was new and it has been refurbished with a three prong female in the pot itself and a new detachable cord, unlike mine (2 prong) which is 20 to 30 years old or more. When I took it out of the box I was immediately disappointed on inspection this coffee pot probably works but is in FAIR condition at best, heavily used with a major crack in the base and a rusty screw on the bottom. The lettering on the sticker is worn (mine isn't). I tried to reason it out but then I saw the screw on the bottom was rusted. Yard sale/thrift shop condition with a refurbished cord. Almost immediately I put it back in the box to return it. The condition was unacceptable for VERY GOOD. However, I thought enough of this product overall to buy a second one (that I don't really need) at a discounted price. I wish it had an auto shut off after an hour. I try to unplug it as soon as the coffee is made as the warmer will stay on and scorch the pot if you forget to unplug it, I've done this once and had to scrub the pot out and the tube with steel wool to get rid of the char which will ruin the taste of your coffee.

Seller should not ship this item to Malaysia, it is not compatible with the power source.
