Farberware 12 cup coffee maker

We purchased this when our old, I mean old, Farberware pot decided to bite the dust. We love the taste of percolated coffee and decided to upgrade. This is a wonderful product. It makes delicious coffee and is easy to use. Plus there is no glass carafe...

Great tasting coffee and easy to use.

Nice design and features.

Short life. Programming is convoluted / poor instructions. Limited warranty and no repair possible.

Absolutely the best!

Excellent* coffee. No plastic! No aluminum!

Display could be better. Pot a bit heavy. Both very minor complaints.

Wonderful "Magic" coffee maker!

I call this my "magic coffee maker", and whenever we have company, they all gather around to watch the coffee being made. I don't know much about coffee, but I do like going to the experts whenever I'm going to make a purchase. I did a little ...

GREAT coffee, good control, high entertainment value

None... not even the cleaning "problem" some seem to have
