Customer Review: More information necessary
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Description of Farberware FCP280 8-Cup Percolator
Few things say "American kitchen" better than the sound of percolating coffee. The Farberware Millenium percolator is an attractive, heavyweight stainless-steel addition to any kitchen, providing fast and trouble-free coffee making--and that classic percolated coffee flavor. Leave it out on the counter, or put it away. The short cord is detachable, so you can bring the pot to the table to serve. While the pot is plugged in, however, it maintains the coffee at a "Keep Warm" temperature. --Schuyler Ingle
