BLACK+DECKER Farberware 2-4-Cup Electric Percolator coffee maker, Stainless Steel, Automatic Warm Function, FCP240

Difficulty removing the lid of the pot. There was no on and off switch on product and no indication with a light telling you the product was on or off unless you went to the main switch. The product was more like tin than stainless steel and had a very weak plastic handle. The product came with an American electrical connection and not a British connection with plug. This was not in the advert of the product. The product would not work with a British electrical connection that we had to buy and so would not heat up the water in the percolator which looked more like a tin kettle. We have to pay postal costs to send this product back to America which was also not in the advert of the product. Altogether a terrible purchase and a waste of one's time.

This is a nice-looking little percolator, but I didn't know when I bought it that it comes from the US with an American plug. In order to use it in the UK, I would have to buy a transformer for nearly £100. In order to send it back and get a refund, I would have to pay the extortionate postage to America. I feel I've been comprehensively fooled. I'm angry. Don't buy from this seller.

Está de buen tamaño para una persona me gustó

I have had this same unit (and its "big brother") for at least five years and absolutely LOVE IT! So, when a family member requested a coffee percolator for Xmas, THIS is what I chose for them... I love it for several reasons. First, and most important, it makes wonderful, VERY hot coffee. Because it makes such hot coffee, the taste of even a "so-so" brand is significantly improved, and the taste of a great coffee becomes OUTSTANDING! (You cannot get the high brewing temperatures from an automatic drip coffee maker, thus making this percolator far superior to all of them, even though it lacks a few "handy features" like an automatic timer) Second, it is reliable. As noted above, we've had this model for at least five years and have never had a single problem with it... It works as designed every time! Third, it is fast! It takes less than five minutes from start to finish to have a full pot of steaming hot coffee ready to drink. Fourth, No waste! It makes one large mug and one regular mug of coffee for each full pot (or four small cups)... So, say goodbye to wasted coffee! With the price of coffee, wasting it is almost a crime... (We have its "big brother" for when we have company and that one makes four large mugs or 8 small cups) Fifth, it is EASY and very simple to use. There's nothing complicated about it, in fact, a 6 year old can easily do it for you if you let them. Sixth, it is easy to clean. All the parts except for the body of it can go into the dishwasher or be washed in hot, soapy dishwater. I recommend scrubbing it thoroughly at least once a week to keep the stains away as it is always easier to keep them at bay than to get rid of them once they appear. If one is fairly lazy and doesn't want to do more than just rinse it out daily, then you can run vinegar through a cycle once a week to keep it shiny too... The only downside that I can think of are that it does not have an automatic timer, but it's so fast, who cares? To be even faster, it can be prepared at night and simply plugged in when you get up. It is fairly small, which is perfect for two good sized cups or 4 small ones, but if you want more than that, you have to refill it or simply buy a larger pot instead or in addition. That's why we have two sizes. Normally, the small pot is just perfect for us. But several times a year, we have overnight guests (or dinner guests) and need more coffee. We'd normally only buy the larger one, BUT the larger sized percolators really are NOT good at making small pots of coffee~! I'm guessing it is because of the inaccuracy of water to coffee ratio not being "just right" when trying to use a large model to a small model's job. Bottom line: this small model works perfectly, is just the right amount, and is well worth the purchase price for those couples who each just want one, fairly large, great cup of coffee each every morning or for the single person who wants two big cups every morning...

Makes the best coffee and keeps hot waiting for the net cup. We received one for a shower over 50 years ago and loved it until I tried to make coffee with no water in it. That didn't work out very well. Same brant. They continue to make an excellent product..

Sin embargo me gustó mucho mi mini cafetera.

No other way to enjoy coffee. I have been through 6 other drip coffee makers and they do not brew anything close to percolated coffee. There is just the 2 of us now so perfect for single or two person servings. Easy to use, fill basket, fill to desired level , fill with water to cup size. Place top cap on, place coffee lid on and plug in. Great price for a four cup brew and I find I waste less coffee from not having to throw out the traditional drip coffee maker coffee. This was what I used in college many moons ago and forgot how great it was. I’m glad to have found it again in a 4 cup so I can still enjoy perfect cup every day. Percolates the 4 cups just as fast as drip. Easy clean up and uses the standard round flat filters for percolators. Easy storage, clean it and detachable electric cord fits neatly inside with the coffee basket. Short stature makes it fit easily in shelved cupboards. A great coffee percolator. I do not find it leaks as others stated. Just keep a steady watch on the amount of tilt.
