Farberware Yosemite Silver
Score: 81/100
Elite Gourmet Electric Percolator
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Elite Gourmet 12-Cup Electric Percolator delivers rapid brewing with automatic keep-warm and safety functions in a stainless-steel body. Its larger size and higher price make it less portable than manual models. Perfect for families or offices needing quick, large-batch coffee.
The Farberware 47053 Yosemite is a heavy-duty stovetop percolator featuring a mirror-polished stainless steel body, permanent filter and a glass knob for visual control. Its glass knob is fragile and it does not work on induction stovetops, requiring careful handling. Perfect for families or campers who need a durable, large-capacity percolator with a lifetime warranty.
