Score: 77/100Rankings
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.
The Farberware 50124 is an 8-cup stainless-steel stovetop percolator that works on gas, electric and solid-plate burners and offers a permanent filter. It cannot be used on induction hobs and its large size can be cumbersome for small kitchens. Best for campers and families needing a robust, versatile percolator.
