The Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator Review
In built Electrical Cord
The fact that the Farberware FCP512S percolator is equipped with a built in electrical cord is perhaps the most convenient aspect of the unit. In this regard, you do not have to worry about searching for a good, reputable coffee shop whenever you are away from home since this feature allows you to easily bring the unit to the table for serving (if you wish to use the unit at home) whilst also making the unit very easy to carry along to the office or on weekend trips away from home.
Accurate, 24 hour Unit Timer and Automatic Shut off Feature
Compared to the Farberware 12-Cup Percolator, Stainless Steel FCP412 (seeing as this unit is newer than the FCP512S, it is best to click here to view its full review in order to make your own opinionated comparative judgement) which does not feature a 24-hour timer, the FCP512S unit is fitted with a programmable (via the units easy to reach buttons located on its base) 24 hour digital timer/ clock and automatic shut off feature. These particular features are really beneficial for individuals who tend to have extremely busy days as the digital clock can help you keep time.
Quick Brewing Time
Much like most Farberware electric coffee percolators, the FCP512S has a quick brewing time of approximately one cup each minute. This means that if you wish to make the entire pots worth of fresh java, all you need to do is patiently wait for approximately 12 minutes for the unit to do its thing! Of course, this amount of time cannot compare to that you would normally spend commuting to a coffee shop, placing your order, and waiting to receive your purchase.
Sturdy, Durable Built (with great aesthetic appeal!)
Made from robust stainless steel, the FCP512S has a great aesthetic appeal (admittedly, I truly enjoy taking this unit to the table for serving as it’s stylish design wows most of my guests, especially those who haven’t had the pleasure of visiting with me). Also, its stainless steel construction effectively eliminates the issue of having metallic tasting brews after you have actively cured your new unit (click here to view these instructions in the article “Farberware Percolator 12 Cup Instructions (including Set-Up and Brewing Tips and Tricks): How to Work your Percolator like a Pro!”).
Easy Serve Features
The FCP512S unit features a stay cool plastic handle which prevents you from accidentally scalding yourself when handling the unit while it is still hot. Naturally, this makes the serving process much easier because it gives you a feeling of confidence. In addition, the unit only measures 9x9x14.5 inches thus, making it very portable and easy to manage.
Makes up to 12 cups of High-Quality Brew
In spite of the various critical opinions regarding the use of coffee percolators to make fresh brews (critics mention that the resulting brews tend to be bitter, a situation which I believe is a result of bad taste buds!), this unit makes brews which are characterised by great taste, intense flavour, and deep aromas. The type of brew quality produced by this unit cannot, in any way, compare to that produced by carafes or drip coffee making machines.
Unit Drawbacks/ Disadvantages
The unit is not equipped with a non-drip or easy-pour spout. Of course, this means that you will generally have to be quite careful when pouring out the unit’s contents into a coffee mug.
All in all, (and considering that the new Farberware 12-Cup Percolator, Stainless Steel FCP412 can offer some of the feature advantages that the FCP512S may not), it may be worth your time (and money) to check out its full review by clicking here. Nonetheless, both units make great value additions to any kitchen and are both worthy purchases.
