Farberware Electric Percolator
Score: 77/100
Grosche Milano Silver
Score: 78/100Rankings
The GROSCHE Milano is a versatile 9-cup aluminum moka pot offering a certified safety valve and burn guard for safe brewing. It cannot be used on induction cooktops and requires hand washing. Suited for families and outdoor use where larger batches are needed.
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.
