About Farberware
Farberware's own history page dates the brand to 1899, when 21-year-old Simon Farber, a Russian immigrant and cookware factory manager, founded it. By 1910 the company had introduced its first line of serving accessories and giftware.
Coffee has been part of the story since 1930, when Farberware introduced its first percolator, which the brand describes as the foundation of its history of coffee preparation. It followed with the Coffee Robot in 1937 and a stainless-steel appliance line in 1955 that included a "super fast percolator".

Why we recognized Farberware
The Brew Gazette Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our category roundups. Farberware earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: checked against the specs, brewing standards and verified buyer reviews, and judged on what matters in the cup.
Farberware products we rated highly
Farberware Classic Stainless Steel Yosemite 12-Cup Coffee Percolator
A top pick in our percolator reviews for the stovetop. The 12-cup Yosemite is mirror-polished stainless steel with a permanent filter basket, so there are no paper filters to buy, and a clear knob on the lid lets you watch percolation begin and time the brew from there.

Farberware Classic Stainless Steel Yosemite Coffee Percolator, 8 Cup
One of our top picks for brewing on a camp stove. The 8-cup Yosemite has the same mirror-polished stainless body and permanent filter basket, so there is no paper to pack or run out of, and its flat base sits on a stove grate the way it sits on a kitchen burner at home.
