Amazon.com Review

Sleek and contemporary, this gleaming percolator brews from four to eight cups of coffee on the stovetop for full, old-fashioned flavor. A permanent filter basket (no messy paper filters needed) provides modern efficiency. The handle is synthetic (to stay cool) and slightly textured, a combination ensuring safe, comfortable pouring. Because the percolator is made of highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, the beauty of its gleaming mirror finish is long-lasting. To fully maintain the finish, the percolator should be hand washed, although the filter basket and glass cap can go into the dishwasher. The percolator stands 8-1/2 inches high on a 6-1/4-inch-diameter base. --Fred Brack

Perked coffee is old school, to be sure, but a well-made cup of percolated brew is robust and satisfying in a way that drip coffee isn't. Not only does the percolation process provide a deeper and fuller mouth, I think, but a percolator, bubbling away, is a lovely sight and sound.

If you don't like perked coffee, don't bother with any percolator. But if you are interested in something other than drip brew, consider this Farberware percolator. I'm not one to ooh and ahh over design, but this is a darned handsome piece of kitchen equipment. Take a look and the large picture and I will spare you the adjectives. :)

The stainless steel construction makes it sturdier and heftier than thin-metal percolators you might buy in the camping gear section of a chain store. While the name "Yosemite" evokes coffee bubbling over a campfire, I'd probably not use this on a wood fire to avoid blackening. I mean, this thing really is shiny and pretty. But as heavy-duty as it is,... Read more

I have never had a percolator before I bought this Farberware percolator. I have always had drip coffee makers, which were ok, but expensive and I was trying to get away from plastic in the kitchen. I read all the reviews here and decided at this price I couldn't really go wrong and I was right. The Yosemite percolator makes a very smooth cup of coffee.

A few things I have learned:

Coarser ground coffee leaves less residue in the pot.

I use a regular coffee filter and just poke a hole through the middle to stop any grounds from getting into the coffee.

I turn my burner on high until it starts percolating, then down to med-low for approximately 7 minutes.

I make sure my handle is not on top of the burner, but rather, just over the edge and it has never gotten hot. I have a smooth top range.

After the coffee is done brewing, I pour it into a stainless steel thermos to drink throughout the day.

I hand wash my percolator and have had no discoloration or scratching to the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee even during a power failure, January 13, 2005
This review is from: Farberware 50124 Classic Yosemite Stainless Steel Percolator (Kitchen)
During Hurricane Isabel I had no electricity and was able to make great coffee on my gas stove with this percolator. I use it daily now.
I found a replacement for the plastic top at Fantes.com -- part #11380, "Small Replacement Percolator Glass Top" for $1.99.

see:

If you wash it in the dishwasher, don't use the "heated dry" option as it will leave permanent water stains. Also, I found that this coffee is reheatable [once] and still tastes good, not muddy.
