Summary: More information necessary
Comment: I need a coffeemaker that brews 2 cups of coffee. I am the only coffee drinker in the house and need one mug of coffee in the morning. I had hoped that this percolator would be more attractive than my 2-4 cup DeLonghi. The new kitchen counters need a silvery, bright coffeemaker, not the dark plastic DeLonghi. Stupid me! The Farberware makes good coffee at the 4 cup setting. At a 2 cup level, the coffee is just light brown water. It's awful. One can make 4 to 8 cups of coffee in this percolator, but not 2 cups. Nowhere in the advertising or the description online or in the instructions booklet does it say so. It should be in the advertising - "If you want to make 2 cups of coffee, buy our smallest size Farberware percolator." They don't tell you that. I had to try several times to brew a decent mug full of coffee. There was no help in finding someone who knew anything about this appliance until much searching on the web, after a weekend when everyone was unavailable. The consumer rep at Macy's, a wonderful lady, did try, and I was grateful for her support. She needed more information about the appliance, too. The booklet that came with the percolator referred questions to "the telephone number on the cover of this booklet." There's no telephone number anywhere in or on the booklet. I finally figured it out for myself. There's a level 2 marked on the coffeemaker, but at that level, too little water gets heated too fast; it ricochets off the ground coffee in the basket and never stays in contact with that coffee long enough to extract any flavor from it. With this size percolator, I can make 4 cups of very good coffee when I need that much coffee. My trusty old DeLonghi still makes my breakfast coffee every morning. Looks are not everything.

Summary: Back to basics
Comment: After breaking several glass carafes on drip coffee pots I decided to get back to the basics of coffee making. I chose the Farberware FCP280 8-cup percolator to experiment with. What a joy! Good coffee and quickly made. Easy to clean up and no glass to break. The only thing I had forgotten about percolators is they are quite a bit noisier than the drip ones. It sounds like the space shuttle going off but brews quickly so the noise is short-lived. My experiment worked for me!!

Summary: buyers beware
Comment: I loved my farberware coffee pots. The old adage "They don't make 'em like they used to" could not be truer in this case. The pot made cold, lousy coffee. I returned it after 2 tries.

Summary: Best Percolator...Brews To Perfection and Quick!
Comment: The Farberware MILLENNIUM is the Best Brew Percolator on the market! It brews coffee to perfection...and is superfast! Brews at a cup per minute! When it stops PERKING you know it is done and will switch over to a warm mode to stay nice and hot for hours! A Percolator is the best way to brew coffee...makes any coffee taste wonderful!! I use mine with Dunkin Donuts Coffee...I have even found that plain old Maxwell House which is at the bottom of my list for coffee even taste good when brewed through the percolator! It is all in the way you make it :) Don't look any further this is the one to buy!!!!! Make sure it say FARBEWARE MILLENNIUM...BEST BREW PERCOLATOR on the box...SUPERFAST. ( BECUASE NOT ALL PERCOLATORS ARE THE SAME)

Summary: So simple, so classic, so sturdy
Comment: I bought this item a few years ago to replace a cheapo plastic coffeemaker that made awful tasting coffee when its carafe finally cracked. I chose this style of coffeemaker not because I'm a coffee snob (I would be if I wasn't so cheap!) but because my parents have a similar design that's lasted them about thirty years and counting, and I concluded this was the most practical choice. No thin glass carafes that can chip, crack or break, no flimsy, fliddly plastic parts (that make you wonder what kind of nasty chemicals are leaching out of them into your hot, acidic coffee every day), no paper filters to buy again and again (that make you wonder whether you should be paying more for unbleached organic filters because again, are scary things leaching into your hot, acidic coffee?). It hasn't disappointed. It makes great coffee and I anticipate it lasting for years. Clean-up is also very easy with this; before I had a dishwasher I had the hardest time cleaning out all the grooves in the plastic cup that held the grounds in my old coffeemaker. No such problem with this one!
