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 Presto 02822 is a compact electric 6-cup percolator with stainless-steel construction, automatic keep-warm, and a brew-completion signal light. Its limited capacity and risk of overflow on larger batches are trade-offs. Great for small households or RV owners wanting quick electric percolation.

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 highlight the Presto 02822's robust percolated coffee flavor, rapid one-cup-per-minute brew speed, and elegant polished stainless-steel construction. They commend practical features such as the ready-to-serve signal light and automatic keep-warm mode, as well as the durable stainless-steel filter basket and perk tube for easy maintenance.
Everyday users consistently praise the rich, aromatic coffee and the hot, consistent temperature that lasts longer than plastic percolators.
