“Excellent Coffee Anytime at your Convenience”
The Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator ensures that you have excellent coffee anytime you want. You can easily bring this coffee maker from your house to your office or if you have a weekend trip as it features a built in electrical cord at its base. This built in cord makes Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator more convenient for you to use, in addition to its accurate timer which can be easily set up.
To top it off, it has a built-in shut-off mechanism which automatically turns it off after 2 hours and you can also program its digital clock or timer into 24 hours. This feature makes the Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator your perfect companion during a particularly busy day which sometimes make you forget attending to small tasks such as unplugging your coffee maker.
The design of the Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator is also very stylish. You can easily entertain guests by directly serving your coffee from the pot by just removing it from its cordless base. It looks a lot better too if compared to serving coffee to your guests by just using a carafe. The Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator conveniently brews coffee in just one minute per cup, quickly making 4-12 cups for your guests. This coffee maker is made of stainless steel that ensures that you will not have a metal taste to your coffee. The Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator also features a stay cool handle and just measures 9 x 9 14.5 inches. On top of that, it only weighs 3 pounds which makes it very convenient to carry around with you.
Together with Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator’s serving portability is its high polish finish and see-through top. Its cup measurements are also discreetly stamped on the container’s side. The Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator is like a combination of old and new coffee maker. It retains the classic function and design of a coffee maker with the new feature of programming your preferred brewing time within 24 hours.
Problems with the Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator
The common complaints on the Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator is its durability. Its buttons usually start to flake and eventually crack within just one year of use. Its glass bulb located at its top is also now made of plastic which breaks off easily. Serving coffee directly from its pot can be a bit slow and it sometimes gluts, making it tricky for you to pour coffee into your cup. It usually continues to work for more than a year but will look bad eventually.

My husband and I have used Farberware Fast Perk coffee pots for over 20 years. I love them, they are fast and coffee is hot. I have had a 4 cup, 8 cup and 12 cup. Both the 12 and recently now the 8 cup stop being hot and then stop all together. I think it is related to how tight the cord fits into the pot. We have to wiggle it to get the plug out. My husband just took our pot apart and it isn’t the heating element or plug but appears ti be a little fuse that connects the soft rope element. Possibly in wiggling the cord it blows the fuse? I see a number of parts available to buy online but not the fuse. Without the fuse my husband is afraid if we forgot and left the pot on that we might have a fire. I love these coffee pots but hesitate to buy another. This last one was only two years old.

I purchased the Farberware FCP512S 12-Cup Cordless Percolator at a flea market.Unfortunately, no instructions for use came w/it. I have figured out how to set the clock however I am having trouble programing it to come on at a certain time. I would appreciate someone telling me how to set the timer.
Many Thanks!

I have the Faberware 4 cup electric percolator for about 4 years. Within the first month the handle broke off because the lid was so hard to get off. I received a new one free (still under warranty). Eventually, that one broke off. No longer under warranty, my husband got a screw and screwed it on the lid. That is loose and rusty. Now the heating element went. I have a Faberware grill for over 25 years that I couldn’t live without, this is why I bought the coffee pot without any research. I have written the company and got a reply equivalent to, tough luck. Needless to say, I’m done with Faberware

What I googled was, “where can I get parts for my farberware electric coffee maker”. I was surprised to see all the hits.

Try Goodman’s small appliance housewares & buy-it-now-store.com – I found both by googling farberware electric coffee maker. Other sites there too. If you send anything to this email address, please mention the farberware comment so I won’t delete it.

Take your pot to a camping goods store and find an aluminum stove top percolator with a glass top that fits. I found one that fits perfectly and you can watch the coffee perk

I have had a Farberware cordless coffee pot over6-7 years..the only trouble I have had the glass tops kept breaking, so I got a plastic one {perfect} Now the base has burned out and I cannot find a replacement. I am using a small pot on the stove, till I can find a replacement…Please help me. I miss my beautiful coffee pot

We’ve had this percolator for almost two years. Within the first six months the plastic knob cracked even though we never touched it. Farberware replaced it, since it was still under warranty, but the new knob broke within a few months also. The buttons have all cracked. Even though we like the percolator, we would never buy it again as the quality and durability are not what we expected from Farberware.

Please Let know, if anyone has an idea where I can aquire a see through glass knob or the original “Plastic Knobs” that came with Model FCP512s 12 Cup Farberware Perculator ? (cordless)
Fungoie says
got a very old stylish sunbeam perc from the folks. Stainless steel, looks and works fab. The Java tastes superb. Head down to a fleamarket or a second hand store and pick one of these up and try it. Seems all the bad hype is bunk.
AMER says
My cord melted and I need to obtain anew base. I have had mine for 8 years and LOVE IT! Where do I get parts from since the unit is no longeR made?
MVP says
I’ve had Farberware electric percolators for nearly all my adult life and FPC512 is the biggest disappointment I’ve had. Looking for a possible recall info.
Heating element(s) seemingly gave up so quickly that I’ve gone back to my old faithful farberware percolator.
If anyone know about product recall info pls submit followup comment.
Thanx

this is our 2nd farberware 12 cup perculator and we LOVE it. the first one did have the buttons that peeled but i would say that was more like 2 years. the 2nd one had the problem with the plastic knob. my husband was able to go to a hardware store and buy a real glass knob. we love this perculator with its features and have been trying to buy another one for my daughter who has requested it. we all love the coffee it brews!
