Hello, Patricia -

From information on other web sites regarding your model of electric percolator, the problem may lie with something in the electric base not working right.

If you have not already done so, I suggest you call Farberware Customer Service and ask for the name and location of an authorized Farberware repair service in your area, so that an authorized repair person can look at your percolator and determine what needs to be repaired (or replaced) and quote you a price.

This is the Farberware Customer Service phone number:

There is a thermostat in the bottom of the percolator that is broken. It would normally cut in to perc the coffee and then cut off the percolator heating element after the water reaches a certain temperature. It can be replaced but it takes a little skill. There is a video on eBay.

If you want to bypass the thermostat and just unplug the percolator, time it for 1 minute per cup.

I think it is because water goes through the coffee while it goes around and through the pipe inside the percolator Let the coffee stand for a few minutes when it is through, then .the coffee will be fine.
enjoy your coffee

I thoroughly cleaned my 4-cup percolator by brewing a couple of pots of plain white vinegar and scrubbing the build-up from the bottom of the pot (and running a couple of plain water brews through the pot after all the cleaning). The percolator now brews hot, strong coffee again!
