Super great review, I really appreciate the thought you put into the evaluation, and the full range of details you covered. i wish all reviews were done so well! It makes you stand out, thank you.
I think I just watched the best, most comprehensive reviews on RUclips! What a great and well executed video. Plus, coffee percolators hold a romantic space in me due to childhood and sense-memories. Good job Camping Guidance!
Thank you so much Joe! I'm glad that you found it comprehensive and that it was helpful! Really appreciate your kind words, it really means a lot. I hope you manage to find a percolator that does your childhood memories justice :)
@@CampingGuidance I actually use the 9-cup Bialetta Moka Pot, it suits my need just fine. I started out looking at percolators on Craigslist looking for an old one that was in good shape. I'm not looking to buy/use one, sometimes I just look to look. Then, of course, I went to RUclips and watched a few other videos as well as yours. I'll tell you what, if I were to buy one it would definitely be the Farberware Yosemite!
@JoeCubicle Oh cool! Thanks for sharing Joe. I've also used the Bialetti for some time, but I found that percolators made slightly better tasting coffee. But that's totally subjective of course :) The Bialetti is definitely great and less hassle, that's what I think. Thank you for watching my videos even though you weren't planning to buy a percolator, really appreciate it :)
It was my pleasure Lucimar! I'm glad you found the details useful, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions :) Thank you for your kind words!
Excellent review. This is the only one I found that addressed minimum brew. I tried brewing one cup which did not work. It yielded clear water. After watching your video I now know not to brew less than 3cups. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 for mentioning minimum workable water volume. I used to wonder why I would get nothing but hot clear water when attempting to brew with just 10 ounces of water! More people should mention this! Very good and informative video! Cheers.
Hi there Theron! I'm glad that you found the minimum water volume helpful! Haha I made the same mistake too, during my first few times using percolators. I'm glad you found this review helpful, and thank you so much for your comment and kind words! :)
I find that at full capacity, once the perk begins I set my timer for five minutes. After, remove from heat and allow brew to settle. Works a charm for me. Thanks for a very good guide.
Hi Edward! Thanks so much for the input! 😊 Ah I see. I think I do a little more than 5 minutes because I prefer the taste that way, but 5 minutes is great too. Glad you found what you like after some trial and error. I'm really glad you liked this video too! 😊
Excellent video. Very detail oriented. Thanks for doing the research for us, it is appreciated very much. I have discovered if you wet the basket before you put the coffee in it cuts down on grounds in the coffee, although I didn't see many at all. I love my percolators! I have 2 but I may need to get this faberware!
@Bunkyman Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the video and the details, really appreciate your comment as well! 😊 And thank you for the tip on the basket wetting too, it really does help! But I'm not too bothered by the grounds either, they usually just settle at the bottom (and there usually isn't a lot). Let me know if you get the Farberware! Hopefully it's as good as your 2 other percolators 😊
Iv just bought this perculator and haven't yet used it.. but I appreciate your advice here that 3 cups of water makes perfect coffee in this perculator 👍. I'll always remember that now.. so thanks 👍. And maybe 2 tablespoons of coffee would be ideal? 🤷
Oh just take note that 3 cups is the minimum! Anything more is perfect too, just don't go less than 3 cups haha. And as for the coffee, that depends on how strong/weak you like yours to be! 🥰
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 🥰 Actually I don't use filters with this, just remember to let the grounds settle a bit before pouring, and you should be good to go!
To help keep grinds out of your coffee after finished perking coffee pour a couple of tablespoons Of cold water down the spout and all the grinds will drop to the bottom of the pot.
Thank you for such a detailed video explaining how to use this and all its parts. 😊 I have one question though: Would I be able to use this on an electric stove top that has the actual wire/rod looking burners? I don’t know how to explain it. It’s not a glass top stove and it’s not a gas stove. I hope that makes sense. 😅
It was my pleasure, and I'm glad that you found it helpful! :) I'm pretty sure that you would be able to use this on any stovetop, including induction stoves! At least that's what I gathered from my research into these percolators. I'm so sorry that I don't have an electric/induction stovetop to test this out, but I'm pretty sure it'll work on the stove that you described :) But to be sure you might want to reach out to Farberware to double check.
@Murtagh653 Hey Murtagh thanks for another comment! Ohhh it was a gift! I think they got it from a random departmental store or something haha. It's nothing special unfortunately haha
Hi Ron! Hmm I think 1/2 cup is a little too small, the minimum capacity for this is around 3 cups or 18oz from my testing. The whole pot is about 8 cups or 48 ounces, which I tested under "Brew Time" if that's what you're looking for 😊 Let me know if you need more info!
What is the discrepancy on price listed and price paid? This is a nice review, but I wish you had given your coffee grounds used not by weight, but by teaspoons.
@SerpentLord666 Hmm I'm not too sure actually. I remember this percolator being very reasonably priced for many years, including when I bought it (back in 2020). Not sure why it suddenly increased so much in price, could be supply chain issues maybe? Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I'll remember it the next time I do coffee reviews :)
I got one of these 2nd hand. Everything is there except the inner spring. The spring is missing. Can you still use this without the inner spring? Also do you know if you can buy a replacement spring?
Hi Josh, thanks for your question! Yes, I do believe that you can use it without the inner spring, because my other percolators didn't come with springs either, and they all worked well. The spring is actually there to press the filter basket against the lid so that the grounds don't flow out into your coffee. It should work fine without the spring, as long as you don't overfill the filter basket. Also, Amazon seems to sell the replacement springs for a few dollars, but I've never bought them so you might have to do a little bit of research on that before buying. Hope this helps!
Super great review, I really appreciate the thought you put into the evaluation, and the full range of details you covered. i wish all reviews were done so well! It makes you stand out, thank you.
Really appreciate the comments about minimum effective capacity for a good brew. Thanks!
It was my pleasure Geoffrey! 🥰

Says it all. VERY complete review. I have one & love it. All aspects of percolator are covered. GOOD REVIEW 👍
Thank you so much Dan! I'm glad I managed to cover all the aspects of the percolator! Thank you for watching my review 😊
What a great review.! I’ve been watching several reviews and this is by far the most detailed one. Thank you so much!!

You're most welcome J! I'm glad to be able to help 😊 Thank you for your comment!
This is such a detailed and awesome review. Thank you!
You're most welcome Megan! I'm really glad you liked the review :)
@@CampingGuidance I was putting my burner too high, so my coffee was way bitter.
@Megan Nowicki Oh I'm sorry to hear that! I made that same mistake too in the past. I usually use medium low heat.
Love this percolator!! Makes great coffee!!
I have mine for several years and still as good as the first day i bought it!
Yes it definitely does! I love the coffee as well. I'm glad that your Farberware Percolator has been going strong! :)

Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you liked the review 🥰
Very good instructions 👍
Thank you so much Juan! Really appreciate your comment, and I'm glad you liked the instructions 😊
I’ve just ordered this based on your review. Thank you. Can I ask what size paper filter would be best for this model.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 🥰 Actually I don't use filters with this, just remember to let the grounds settle a bit before pouring, and you should be good to go!
This Farberware percolator is my favorite!
Thanks for the input Jerry! Yeah it’s a great one, I agree. 😁 Sadly it’s getting more expensive though 😕
Excellent Review!
Thank you Michael! Glad that you found it helpful :)

Or you could buy it and make sure to test it out while the return window's still open :) Sorry I couldn't be of more help on this!
@@CampingGuidance Thank you. No, you are very helpful. Much appreciated. 👍🏼😊
Thank you so much for your reply! Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions on this :)
Great review! Sold!
@Atomic Bonds Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked this review 😊 Hope you like the Farberware as much as I have!
where did you get the glass mug?
@Murtagh653 Hey Murtagh thanks for another comment! Ohhh it was a gift! I think they got it from a random departmental store or something haha. It's nothing special unfortunately haha
@@CampingGuidance oh i see, thank you for letting me know.
@@Murtagh653 You're most welcome! Feel free to reach out if you have other questions 😊
Wow why dont you brew 1/2 cup!
Can you take the time to do a while pot?
Hi Ron! Hmm I think 1/2 cup is a little too small, the minimum capacity for this is around 3 cups or 18oz from my testing. The whole pot is about 8 cups or 48 ounces, which I tested under "Brew Time" if that's what you're looking for 😊 Let me know if you need more info!
