Overview
The Farberware COMINHKR028441 is a 12-cup fully automatic stainless steel stovetop percolator. It draws 1000 watts, runs on 120 volts, and uses a reusable filter with ground coffee input. The standout feature at this price point is the touchscreen control panel, which is uncommon among stovetop percolators and gives the pot a more appliance-like feel.
The body measures 7.25 by 7.25 by 13.25 inches and weighs 3.2 pounds. The stainless finish looks clean on a countertop. Notably, Farberware does not list this model as dishwasher safe, so hand-washing is required after each use.
At $91.46 it is the most expensive of the five percolators reviewed here. The 4.4-star average from 300 reviewers indicates solid satisfaction, though the smaller review count leaves more uncertainty than the Presto's near-20,000 sample.
Pros
Touchscreen controls are a rare feature at this price point
12-cup capacity and 1000W draw suit high-volume brewing
Reusable filter included, no paper filters needed
Fully automatic operation handles the brew cycle without monitoring
Clean stainless steel finish and compact square footprint
Cons
$91.46 is the highest price in this category comparison
Not listed as dishwasher safe, so cleanup requires hand-washing
300 reviews is a smaller sample than most top-ranked percolators
Touchscreen controls add complexity that some percolator fans prefer to avoid
Performance notes
Running at 1000 watts, the Farberware model heats faster than the 800W Presto and should reach brew temperature in less time. Fully automatic operation engages the heat-control cycle without manual adjustment. The reusable filter handles ground coffee well, though very fine espresso-grade grinds may pass through.
What buyers say
The 4.4-star average across 300 ratings reflects generally positive reception. Buyers often highlight the appearance and the ease of touchscreen operation. A handful note the hand-wash requirement as an inconvenience compared to dishwasher-safe alternatives at lower prices.
Does the touchscreen require a specific touch or does it work with normal finger pressure?
Based on the product specs it uses a standard capacitive touchscreen, which responds to normal fingertip contact. Wet or gloved fingers may reduce sensitivity.
Why is this model not dishwasher safe when it costs more than others?
Touchscreen electronics and certain stainless steel finishes are often incompatible with dishwasher heat and detergents. Farberware recommends hand-washing to protect those components.
How does the 1000W compare to other stovetop percolators?
Most stovetop percolators in this category draw between 800W and 1000W. The higher wattage means faster heat-up but does not significantly affect final brew quality once the percolation cycle begins.
