Farberware Electric Percolator
Score: 77/100
Coletti Bozeman
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Farberware FCP240 electric percolator brews 2-4 cups quickly in 4-5 minutes and includes automatic keep-warm and a cool-touch handle. Its small capacity and higher price limit its appeal for larger households, and it lacks modern indicators. Ideal for solo users or couples needing a compact, fast-brewing percolator.
The Coletti Bozeman is a heavy-duty stainless-steel percolator with a glass dome and rosewood handle, designed for campfire, stovetop and select induction use. Its advertised 9-cup capacity is misleading and the unit is relatively heavy, which may deter ultralight backpackers. Ideal for campers and small groups who value durability and visual brewing control.

Professional reviewers commend the FCP240 for its speedy 4-5 minute brew, sturdy stainless-steel construction, and automatic keep-warm function, noting it excels in compact kitchens and for solo or couple use. However, they criticize its limited 2-4 cup capacity, lack of modern features like indicator lights, and a price that seems steep for its small size.
Everyday users praise the percolator for delivering hot, flavorful coffee quickly, its small footprint, and the reliable keep-warm feature, often calling it the best tasting coffee compared to pod machines. Common complaints focus on the limited capacity, occasional coffee-ground residue without paper filters, the missing brew-status light, and the higher price relative to its size.

Professional reviewers commend the Coletti Bozeman for its heavy-duty stainless steel, toxin-free build, and glass dome that together deliver bold, pure-flavored coffee. They also highlight its excellent campfire stability thanks to a wide flat base, but note the significant shortcoming that the advertised 9-cup capacity is misleading.
Everyday users consistently praise the percolator's ability to produce strong, rich coffee and its rugged, heat-resistant construction that stands up to camping conditions. Common praise focuses on easy cleaning and compact nesting, while recurring complaints center on the overstated 9-cup capacity and the need to watch percolation speed at higher elevations.
