Question 1

Is the filter basket and stem made of stainless steel also or aluminum

Accepted Answer

Do NOT be fooled. You still need to use a Paper coffee filters in this basket. There is a certain type of Unhealthy oil material that comes off of All coffee..Only the coffee filter can catch it.If you notice with this is sold separate, Melitta 628354 Disc Coffeemaker Filters - Pack of 2 (200 Filters total)by Melitta ...Btw Dr. Oz talks about the need for coffee filters all the time even if your coffee pot comes with the mesh, or percolator , for a good reason.

Question 2

Does it work on induction stove top?

Accepted Answer

I just recently installed a FRIGIAIRE FGI3047VF INDUCTION RANGE. I included the model# so people could look it up and see that it is INDUCTION. The FARBERWARE YOSEMITE 8-cup Percolator may not be magnetic, but it worked perfectly. I was using a CORNINGWARE stovetop PERCOLATOR for years, and needed a replacement to use on the new stove without an adapter.

Question 3

I bought this and love it. Can you leave the basket in after brewing? That would sure be easier but the instructions say take it out.

Accepted Answer

We live on our yacht. I brew a full pot about every three days. I replace what is served with hot, boiling water directly into the basket to extend the grounds as I start with a full basket of an extra dark, gourmet blend. I leave the basket in with the grounds as when the brew has cooled and one desires a cup of coffee, we heat in the microwave. Also, if you add a scant amount of salt to the fresh grounds before you brew a pot of coffee, the brew does not turn acidic, an old restaurant trick! I love our percolator!

Question 4

Got the percolator and replacement glass top but have to re-learn exactly how much coffee to use for this perfect percolator?

Accepted Answer

1 max loaded teaspoon per cup + 1 teaspoon for the pot.  Now you have to define the volume of your "cup.".  Some coffee lots state 6 oz is a " cup. ".  This is dinky.  My volume "cup" is a good size mug,  about 10-12 oz.I

I also wad up a piece of aluminum foil and jam it into the pouring spout ( I have an 8 and 12 cup stove top 
percolator: Farberware Yosemite).  I use enough aluminum foil to have a "handle"   I can grab to remove before pouring.  What is the purpose for my aluminum foil spout plug?  It greatly reduces vapor loss during percolating.  You may START with 3-4 mugs of water, but if you forget about the coffee pot, you will quickly boil off a mug of water and change the flavor/strength.  Set a simple timer for 6-8 minutes of percolation time, or about 16-18 total minutes from the time you apply heat.

For coffee?  I like Maxwell House Columbian.  Tried many other brands, and "high end" designer / coffee snob beans.  I keep coming back to Maxwell House Columbian.  I have stopped searching for coffee.
