Review on ☕ Farberware Classic Stainless Steel Coffee Percolator: 12 Cup, Silver with Glass Blue Knob - Top-notch Brewing Experience! by Melanie Gehrke

About 20 years ago I had an electric coffee maker that I really liked. Then all the new coffee pots showed up and I started studying them. However, none of them compare to coffee in a coffee maker. I have never had a coffee maker on my stove and thought maybe it would be better for me as I have problems with the kitchen switch when using 2 appliances at the same time besides my electric stove. I am very disappointed with this bowl. I'm not sure if the problem is in the percolator itself or what. Tried twice and it was a disaster. The first time I went with instructions and what everyone else was doing. Medium/high until simmering and peppering starts. I heard the water boil so I was confused as to why it never boiled. Finally, after 20 minutes, it started penetrating the blue glass for the FIRST TIME, which should NOT have taken that long. I lowered the temperature to medium/low and then let it warm up for 7 minutes. The only smell in my kitchen was burnt coffee, so I knew what it would taste like. Worst coffee ever. I tried it a second time but this time on medium heat, cooked longer and then waited the same 20 minutes before reheating. I then turned the burner down to low and let it heat up for 5 minutes but again all you could smell was the smell of burnt coffee and same results. I won't keep trying such a simple coffee maker that doesn't require that much effort to brew a decent cup of coffee. If the water boils after 5-7 minutes, then it should turn sour exactly then, and not after 20 minutes. There must be something wrong with the details, because when the water starts to boil, the pumping must start well before 20 minutes and then count down, which always results in burnt coffee and a long wait for the coffee. I send it back and go back to the electric coffee maker like I should have from the start.
