 Gets WAY too hot!Nov 22, 2009
I bought this coffee maker to save counter space. It is quite small, and it does make coffee, but it heats up the coffee way too hot and gives it a burned taste. It helps a little to use refrigerated water, and to unplug it immediately after it finishes brewing, but it still burns the coffee and stays ridiculously hot for a long time after it's unplugged. I wish I had bought the stovetop version and not sacrificed quality for convenience.
 Don't buy a Farberware FCP280!!!!!!Nov 17, 2009
On Sept. 3rd I made this purchase. Sometime it worked and sometime it did not! I returned it to Applica Consumer Products on Oct 12th. I am still waiting for a replacement because, "It is on backorder." Today, 11/23, I called for the sixth time. I received the same story.They're coming in in a week. When I asked how do I get a refund, I was told they don't make refunds. You don't need the aggravation. Go to a store and buy it. If it doesn't work, you can take it back and get your money!!

Didn't last very longNov 15, 2009
I bought this coffee pot about a year ago and only used it occasionally. The last time I tried to use it the part where you plug the cord into the base of the coffee pot collapsed, making the pot unusable. I thought I was getting a quality coffee pot that would last for years, like my old Farberware percolator did, but apparently they are not made as well as they used to be.
 Farberware 12 cup percolatorNov 15, 2009
This percolator makes the best coffee and keeps it piping hot. Comes with a heavy duty cord. Easy to clean and takes up little room on your counter. I have had one for several years. I purchased this one for my mother after she kept exclaiming how much she loves the coffee I make. She was so happy to receive it.
This is not the Farberware you mother bragged aboutNov 11, 2009
To be honest, I do not own this specific model. My review is about what looked like and was sold as the exact same pot a few years ago. Correction, the three pots I bought a few years ago.
When three pots failed (coffee not hot, electic sparks, heating element went) I did a little research. I do not have all the detail handy anymore, but I remember, the origial Farberware company was a privately held company located in the Bronx, NY. The original owners chose to sell the company instead of giving in to the landlord; do not believe it was a product or employee issue.
I believe licensing / ownership of the brand name changed a number of times. Today it is owned by Lifetime Brands, Inc., and the Meyer Co. holds the license to market products under the Farberware brand name. I think I got all this right; who owns and who licenses the right to market products under a brand name gets complicated.
Serve it to say, the Farberware brand our mothers knew and loved is not the brand you see on the shelves today. It's a darn shame. That pot made the best cup of cofee you could get, and it was HOT!
P.S. I purchased and had to replace/ eventually return the Presto Percolator I purchased at WalMart as well. I no longer trust electronics sold by WalMart as I do not believe they meet the same spes as a similar looking models sold in department stores. I might be wrong, but too many returns to trust further.
An interesting read: Go here for some history on ownership of the Farberware brand-name:
