Farberware Electric Percolator
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Presto 02811 Electric Percolator delivers fast one-cup-per-minute brewing with an automatic keep-warm function and a convenient ready-indicator light. Its capacity details can be confusing and it only accepts ground coffee, limiting flexibility. Best suited for users who value speed and simplicity in a compact electric percolator.
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.
