 "mr. coffee thermal coffee pot" 2010-02-13
By Barbara T. Brock
Having bought several times Mr. Coffee products, this time it was most disappointing. Coffee never came down hot unless we did the whole 8 cups and even then was not hot coffee. Called the manufacturer and was told the best thing to do was to fill the thermal with boiling water BEFORE we made coffee each time ! How rediculous to have to cope with making coffee like that. Fortunately I was able to return it as it was not satisfactory at all. I rate this product at a zero. What ever happen to Mr. Coffee's designers????

 "I love this coffee pot" 2009-12-30
By Susan C. Hunnicutt (San Antonio, Texas)
I bought this coffee pot about six months ago after my first thermal pot developed an electrical problem. I searched for thermal coffee pots all over town and the internet before choosing this pot. I chose it because of the price, and the design.

I do freelance editing work, and often drink coffee while I am working very early in the day. The thermos is wonderful because after brewing, the coffee maker shuts off. There is no heating element, so the coffee stays hot for several hours without boiling/ evaporating away. I can make a pot, and have fresh, hot coffee for several hours.

I seldom use the programmable features, and I don't really need a clock on my coffee maker. I would probably buy a pot with fewer bells and whistles if I could find the thermos I liked. But for the price, this is a great choice.

 "Makes weak coffee" 2009-12-23
By Carina Macdonald (Michigan)
I bought a replacement for this after about a month of use because the coffee is disappointingly weak and lacking in flavor - the water doesn't seem hot enough. I got tired of using twice the normal amount of coffee to get my two cups of joe in the morning - and no matter what, it made good Sumatra taste like Folger. Quite disappointed; I've had good luck with other non-thermal carafe Mr Coffee machines in the past (and in fact, that's what I just replaced this one with.)



Also the lid is a bit of a pain to get used to - what's wrong with traditional screw-on lids? Those work very well. And finally, the spout is poorly designed and it's really hard not to drip coffee all over the counter when pouring.



I could have lived with the last two flaws, but couldn't take the weak, nasty-tasting coffee. I would not recommend this if taste is a priority. It did keep the coffee reasonably hot for an hour or so, but you have to "pre-warm" the pot with hot water to keep it hot for longer.

 "Great still works wonderful after almost 5 years" 2009-12-21
By E. Sack
We are actually getting ready to upgrade to a nicer 12-cup maker so I was on amazon checking out reviews and thought I would share how great this machine has been for us. I have had it almost 5 years now and it still works wonderfully. It is easy to use and the carafe keeps coffee hot for about 3 hours. We are heavy coffee drinkers and it has held up great for us. I am going to pass this on to my brother when we gets our new one cause it still works great.

I ordered this to have coffee during the winter made on our woodstove. I was pleasantly pleased to find it a good weight pot, cleans easily and makes a good cup of coffee. Just what I wanted.

Makes very good coffee. I start on high heat and turn it down when it begins to perk. It takes 7 minutes perking time. Delicious coffee.

 "Percolator, please!" 2009-07-14
By Jeanne Wyne (Bay Shore, NY USA)
I bought the Farberware Classic Yosemite 8-Cup Stainless Steel Percolator after battling with several automatic-drip coffee makers. All I wanted was a hot cup of coffee! Now that I have given up on automatic-drip coffee makers and chosen to use a percolator, a relic from childhood, I enjoy a piping hot cup of coffee every day, as opposed to lukewarm brown water. This percolater is easy to use, cleanup is easy, my coffee tastes better, and the wonderful smell permeates my kitchen as it perks. Why automatic-drip coffee makers ever came to be is beyond me. Another example of the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Just a basic stove top percolator works just fine. Nothing fancy, but works. Authentic and utilitarian. Perfect for Mom. Oh yes, that's who this was for at Christmas. Mom loves it more than the small TV in the Kitchen. It was just what she wanted.

 "Great But Not Stupid Proof" 2009-11-08
By Stephen (Southern CA)
The pot is well made. I would have liked a slightly heavier gauge but in reality it's not necessary. I will qualify my review with "we use it for camping only." I got tired of the cup at a time plastic REI setup and upgraded to this so I wouldn't spend too much of my AM time making coffee for everyone.



The bummer on this pot is the plastic dome. I ordered 2 glass ones when I got the pot. The one from Goodman's came properly packaged in a box the other one came in an envelope and was DOA. I'd recommend looking for a small town general store to buy one from and save the bone crushing postage.



You need to use the proper grind for a percolated coffee pot without a course grind you will end up drinking sludge when you get to the bottom 1/3 of your cup. When the water boils and the percolating process begins; turn down the heat on your coffee pot! The water should boil so it percolates, not sound like a locomotive running at full speed.



I like very strong coffee and even with the basket totally full and the right dark roast beans I can't get the stomach searing full flavor that I get from my home machine. For this I rate the product 4 stars. For those of you who like standard brewed coffee, this shouldn't be a problem.

 "Makes good coffee" 2009-10-21
By Gatorman
We purchased this percolator to replace our electric drip maker. My wife mainly uses it and so far she likes it. We haven't used it enough to see if the plastic bulb at the top has any problems as some reviewers have said. If so, we'll purchase the glass replacement. This percolator seems to make better coffee than the drip models. Probably because the water actually boils and is immediately sent through the coffee. We use it on our gas stove and it works fine. Just follow the instructions... as others mentioned, wet the strainer before putting in coffee to avoid grounds in your finished drink. Let the water boil, then turn down to low for 5-7 minutes. So far, we like this one...

 "Pricey But Works" 2009-10-19
By Bruce
I gave it 3 out of 5 or "average."



It's a little pricey for what you get, but works as advertised.



MSRP $34.95

Weight: 21.5 oz.

Materials: stainless steel, plastics.

Country of origin: China



Was aware of lid falling off & easy workaround(simply bend the prongs on lid out.) No problems there.



Wanted glass percolator top-- (OEM percolator top is plastic.) The "Fitz-All"--model 135- glass percolator top (recommended by amazon.com) fits onto the original lid just fine.



***You don't need to buy the recommended `replacement lid' to have the glass percolator top!*** :)



As others mention, biggest drawback is no fill indicators for water inside pot. Worse is fact that fill marks on outside are hidden behind the handle! (Not a very good design imo.) For DYI types, I'll share how I got indicator marks on inside of coffee pot at end of review.



Summary:

If you're on a budget, this coffee maker & recommended glass percolator top might be "best bang for your buck." For those who want fill marks & glass percolator top ready made... best look at other brands.



--------

Workaround for fill marks:

--------



Don't want to keep guessing at amount of water when half awake? Following is one way to get fill marks to show on inside of pot. As with any DYI project, caution is the word & do so at your own risk to possibly denting your coffee maker!



1.) Remove handle. 2.) Notch a 2x4 for rim of coffee pot so that the wall of pot sits *flush* on the wood. 3.) Secure 2x4 to vice, use C-clamps on workbench, etc. 4.) Position coffee pot on 2x4 so that outside fill marks face up. 5.) Position small finishing screwdriver on horizontal fill marks. (IMPORTANT: Blade of screwdriver MUST be same width as fill marks, or risk denting wall of coffee pot!) 6.) Use rubber mallet or small hammer to lightly but firmly tap screwdriver positioned on each outside fill mark. 7.) Examine inside of pot. Fill lines visible? If not be patient & repeat. Took me three careful taps before I could see them, but didn't want to risk denting outside by tapping too hard.

 "Overall - Pretty Good" 2009-10-11
By W. Boyko (Monroe, CT)
Overall - Pretty Good



The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because there are no fill level marks on the inside of the percolator. The fill marks are stamped on the outside of the percolator, under the handle, and are unusable. It took a few pots to figure out the right fill level. Other than that, it works great. It makes coffee quickly and the coffee tastes great. It works much better than any electric coffee maker I've used.

 "Bob's review..." 2009-09-27
By Anna Mae (Boston, New York United States)
My parents wanted a new percolator because their old one past away. So after reading a few reviews, this Copco percolator seemed like it would be a solid buy. And to be honest, it was. Even though I don't care for coffee myself, my parents are quite content with the coffee this percolator makes.
