Farberware 47053 Classic Stainless Steel Yosemite 12‑Cup Coffee Percolator

Important Note on Coffee Appliances

When I’m choosing coffee gear, I avoid nonstick coatings, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), aluminum in the brew path, heavy metals like lead and cadmium, plastics that come into contact with hot liquid, and materials that rely on chemical finishes or nanoparticles. I prefer simple, inert materials where coffee only contacts trusted surfaces.

Product Description

This classic stovetop coffee percolator is crafted from stainless steel and brews up to 12 cups of coffee. It features a permanent filter basket that eliminates the need for paper filters and a transparent knob on the lid for monitoring the percolation process. The interior brewing surfaces are stainless steel, designed to produce rich, flavorful coffee without coatings between the water and the metal.

What I Like

I like that the brewing surfaces are stainless steel, with no nonstick finishes or coatings that could leach into the hot water or coffee. The design is straightforward and reliable, and using a permanent filter helps reduce waste. It’s a practical choice for someone who wants a low-tox coffee maker with minimal materials between water and brew.

Things to Keep in Mind

Because this is a stovetop percolator, you’ll need to keep an eye on the heat to avoid over-extraction or bitterness. Cleaning is simple, but take care to rinse out the filter basket and stem after each use to prevent buildup.
