Café Brew Collection 8-Cup Glass Stovetop Percolator Coffee Pot - Borosilicate Glass Coffee Percolator - BPA Free - Dishwasher Safe - Brewing on Electric and Gas Ranges

I would actually give this six stars if i could. A lot of people make terrible coffee in these percolators, because they really don't know how. For me, this is the VERY BEST TASTING coffee I've ever drank. Here's how i make it. Fill coffee pot to the bottom of the metal band do not put in basket yet, Put coffee pot on stove on high heat to boil, meanwhile, add 1/2 cup of ground coffee to basket and put aside. When water is boiling (this is the secret and i don't know why) turn stove off if electric or very low gas and put in basket. Time for six minutes, if percolating stops before then put heat to very low. Coffee is always delicious, and never burned tasting like many people do with percolated coffee, because the coffee itself never actually boils, Always boil the water then add the coffee. You, too, will agree, that the very best way to extract the flavor from the coffee bean is with a manual percolator. Use coarse grind coffee if possible, if grinding at the store put grinder to "regular". Finer grinds will seep thru the basket a little, but for me the taste of the coffee is worth the little inconvienience of grounds in the cup. They have filters, but i swear you can taste the paper, no matter what kind you buy. I see a plethora of people complain that the parts are plastic. Now use your head, what else can they be? metal? so they can scratch the glass and cause a catastrophic accident? Wow, how much you want to bet this never occured to you. ALL these coffeemakers have used plastic from the beginning. Except for a special model that was made more of a decoration from glass. I'm sure, the manufacturers would use other than plastic if they could. Also, i hear complaints the top comes off. DO NOT PERK SO FAST YOU WILL BOIL AND SOUR YOUR COFFEE, if you follow the instructions i gave you, you will never have had better coffee. the lid is loose, but tightens up as the pot gets hotter, for god's sake, hold the lid while pouring, common sense? never ever boil your coffee, it will be soured. takes practice to get it right, so if you are doing it like i said, keep practicing, you'll be perfect just know when to add coffee, etc, But if you don't like plastic, don't buy,. Don't expect the parts to be metal, should you scratch it a catastrophic accident would happen.... JULY 21 2017 I am buying my fourth. I am a he not a she, I refuse to use any other kind of coffee pot, and everyone i show how to make coffee in this pot refuses to just like me. Remember, when your coffee is done after six minutes, let it strain out of the basket and remove grounds before pouring. I don't find I can make a good pot of coffee if I don't make a full pot, this seems to be true, even with electric percolators. Wish they had the stovetop four cup one. So what. I make molasses cookies or ice coffee with left over coffee

I’m so glad I finally found this style coffee pot. I had one for years & was So upset when it broke 15-20 yrs ago & couldn’t be replace . After drip coffee machine came out on the market the companies Stopped selling percolators. I guess they figured everyone would like the drip coffee 🤷‍♀️. So I had No choice but to drink the drip coffee🥴. I’ve been looking everywhere for Years to buy a new percolated coffee pot so I was ecstatic when I found this coffee pot! The glass is not to thin, it’s also nice & sturdy. The only thing I don’t like is the guts in it & the dome on top of the lid, it’s all plastic. My old glass percolating coffee pot had the metal inside & glass dome on top of lid. Other then that I love my coffee pot, coffee is great tasting & hot like it should be😊. I buy coffee beans & grind my coffee fresh everyday ( the only way to go🙂). I recommend this coffee pot if you’ve never made percolator coffee before, it’s easy to see through so you know when to turn off. I like strong coffee so I perk my coffee for at least three to 5 minutes on low. It’s just as easy as filling a drip coffee maker. I love my percolator and will never go back to drip coffee again😁!

I seen this pot on a blog and decided to check it out. I had a percolator style pot years ago, but I could not remember how it performed nor tasted. I am currently using an old Mr. Coffee drip machine. I have used Keurig and a coffee Ninja. The Keurig while very convenient, I could never find a coffee I liked. Also so many of the pods had a funny taste to me. The Ninja came up with the clean me now light problem. A real PITA and also a POS machine for the price. Clean me now please only to return in a week or two again. It is a known problem and if you doubt me, Google it. I gave both to the local Goodwill.So I decided to read some of the reviews here and then decide. Well after reading so many positive reviews, I decided I had to have one. Now all I needed to do was decide which one to order; the 8 cup or the 12 cup. The majority of the time, I am brewing a pot for just me. However on the weekends, I tend to make a bigger pot as my son will join me in drinking coffee. Reading through the description here I found where it states a cup is 4 oz. My Mr. Coffee manual has a cup as 5 oz. and I normally make 8 cups. So I did the math: 5 oz. x 8 = 40 oz. So 4 oz. x 10 = 40 oz. So I thought it best to order the 12 cup for a bit of room for the weekends. After using this pot a couple of times, I realized that I have a lot more coffee than my Mr. Coffee. So I decided to use an actual measuring cup to find out the truth. What I concluded is the Farberware cup is a 6 oz. cup and when I fill it to the 6 cup marking on the wall I have about 36 oz. for 6 cups. On the first few days I was making a bit more coffee than I normally do, and making it a bit too weak for me also. I measured the amount my favorite mug holds and it came to 12 oz. This pot when I make 6 cups will give me 3 good mugs of coffee. That is my intake for a normal morning of coffee.I now fill to the 6 cup mark and add 6 good scoops (tablespoons) of my coffee. I have been adding a scant amount of salt to the basket as one reviewer suggested. She claims it helps to offset the acidity. I can't swear to that, but I can swear that after using this pot for a week now, I will not be going back. The coffee is the best tasting I have made in my house. The smell in the morning is oh so delightful. I will say the coffee I use never tasted this good in my Mr. Coffee. I have a couple of brands and all taste better in the Farberware. The only drawback is the time needed to make a pot. I am retired so it doesn't bother me. If you are a worker bee, you will probably not want to spend the extra time. My 6 cup brew takes about 9-10 minutes to start the perk (boil) cycle. I then turn the dial to 3 and set the timer for 7 minutes. I turn it to the lowest setting when the timer goes off. I normally wait a few minutes before I pour the first cup too. I leave my burner on warm.I know this is getting lengthy but I also must say this; If you are like me, trying to decide between the 8 cup or the 12 cup, then here is a tip. If you read closely, you will notice the 8 cup comes with a plastic knob and the 12 cup comes with glass. I can attest to the 12 cup being glass. I can not attest to the 8 cup being plastic, however the descriptions validate my findings too. So if you decide to purchase the 8 cup and then buy the glass knob, you will be at the cost for the 12 cup pot anyway. Add to that if you compare the dimensions of the two closely, you will not find much of a size difference in the two pots. I would have chose the 8 cup if it had the glass knob.

I would love a larger size of this for when I have guests.

La calidad corresponde a lo que pagas, el vidrio es resistente y de buena calidad el único pero que le encuentro es que el plástico de la tapa no es transparente como en la imagen, es más blanco semi transparente pero quitando eso funciona de maravilla

Cómoda, fácil de armar, fácil de ocupar, fácil de lavar, esta cafetera hace muy rico café, solo uno se tarde unas dos o tres veces en saber cuánto exactamente vas a dejar hervir la preparación pues de eso depende cuán cargado resulta el café y pues claro eso ya es cosa de gustos. Recomiendo de todas maneras comprar esta cafetera, nunca di con una tan práctica y que hiciera tan buen café de tan fácil manera, ideal.

Me gusta que la cafetera tenga un vidrio resistente, me ha durado ya unos meses y creo que no decepcionará en la calidad y durabilidad. Esta cafetera ofrece un café sin variaciones ni alteraciones de sabor, tomarás el fiel sabor de los granos que elegiste y esa es su principal virtud porque ni es más rápida en su preparación (eso creía yo cuando la compré) que las demás opciones ni es fácil de lavar.Lo que me incomoda es que la canastilla sea de plástico aparentemente común y este siempre en contacto con el calor, no sé que tan toxico sea eso pero no me siento cómodo cada vez que la uso, muy probablemente la cambié por ese detalle.

Esta cafetera hace uno de los mejores cafés que he probado, rápidamente se ha convertido en una de mis favoritas. Simplemente hay que leer algunas de las recomendaciones hechas por otros usuarios.En primer lugar, el llenado de agua debe ser hasta donde termina el cintillo de metal, más arriba moja el café. Posteriormente se debe poner a hervir el agua sin el filtro y sin la tapa.En cuanto haya hervido el agua, es necesario bajar la flama al mínimo ó apagarla. Enseguida se coloca lentamente el filtro con café y la tapa.Volver a encender la flama, de preferencia al mínimo y esperar entre 5 y 7 minutos posteriores a la ebullición.Hay dos detalles con la cafetera, durante la ebullición escapan algunos granos de café al interior y el segundo es que la tapa no embona con fuerza, por lo que al servir, debe sostenerse y de esta manera, solucionar ambos problemas.Siguiendo estos pequeños tips, garantizo un magnífico café.

Sabor inigualable, verdadero sabor a un buen café
