Does this work on the electric 4 cup percolator?

I am afraid I can't help, my percolator is an 8 cup for use on a stove top.

I use it on my 6 and 12 cup electric faberware percolator and it works great. I bought two to make my coffee every morning. Highly recommended

Don't know. I use it on a 8 cup non-electric Faberware percolator and it works great. In fact, I bought two and use this pot (and spring) to make my coffee every morning. Highly recommended.

Yes, it's made for an electric stovetop- either coil or flat top. I don't know what the other reply was about- you don't boil or percolate the coffee, it rises and you hear a little gurgle. There's no way you the filter can be blocked. BTW, don't buy the cheap off-brands. They're thinner, handles are cheaper, attachments cheaply put together. Put out just a few extra bucks and get something that will last a lifetime.

I perc 4 cups and that works fine. The object of the exercise is to perc gently. That is: the coffee should bubble up into the glass top at a leisurely rate -- one or two light burps every second or so. Hardly an accurate description, I know, but the gist is DON'T BOIL IT HARD ... just simmer it. Use high heat till the first appearance, then reduce heat. Cut it way back to 1/3 -- about medium-low. Bear in mind electric coils hold heat and drop temperature slowly. Gas burners respond much quicker and that is one reason cooks prefer gas. Ideally, coffee grounds should be in contact with hot water about 6 minutes, maybe 7. Then take the pot off the burner, let it sit for a couple of minutes, take the stem and basket out. Removing the spent grounds keeps bitter oils from dripping back into the coffee. And taking out the stem and basket parts makes it easier to pour. I let the pot sit a minute or two while I clean up the inside parts. With a percolator you gain a great deal of flavor, and you pour a very satisfying cup of coffee, but you do give up the convenience of an automatic drip machine. You can't go away and shave while the coffee is on. A quality electric percolator would be a good compromise. When I was a kid, it was common for neighbor ladies to come by our kitchen or to call Mom over for mid-morning or after-lunch coffee. Of course, Reddy Kilowatt was king in those days, so everyone's percolator was electric.

If it looks similar to the one that you are trying to replace, then it will probably work. If it doesn't work, you can return it. I have found that it works with a number of brands of coffee makers.

Sorry, I am not familiar with your percolator. Try phoning the manufacturer.

I have a 6 cup farberware percolator and it fits perfect. I think it will work for you as well:)

The knob that originally came with the Coleman 12-cup coffee pot worked great until it broke. The coffee came up and you could tell when to turn down the heat. The replacement fits-all glass knob with it's metal adapter plate is clearly smaller in diameter than the original. We haven't actually perked any coffee yet. The Fitz-all covers the hole and i'm hoping that will be sufficient. I know there are several coffee pots that don't have a glass knob at all and they seem to work, so I'm hoping this will work even if we can't see the percolating action.

I bought this cord for an 8 cup farberware pot that's probably 20 years old and it works perfectly. I believe the 4 cup farberware uses the same cord so it should just work just fine.

I only have a 4 6 cup perc. I would say they might be too small... Wait!! I just checked the package and it says "Fits All Percolators" To be sure...their website is www.melitta.com and their phone is 1-888-melitta. Hope this helps...MM

So here is the deal about your question measure the inside of the percolator basket and the coffee must be tested for the correct size of grind, it hole in the screen is stainless steel must match, the diameter in the boiling tube, just a little larger so it will slide off and on easy. The diameter of the screen must also be slightly larger so the fit is snug with no ripples or tiny gaps. For this to function well one must fit this screen better that the original. The basket costs 3x less than this screen.

In think it would work with any 8-12 cup drip coffee maker. It replaces the need for a paper filter.

I can't be certain as this was automatically recommended by Amazon when I purchased the 4 cup Mr. Coffee machine (Model #DRX5). Perhaps go & see if your model is available & then see what extras (if any) are offered?

Yes, it makes 4 cups just fine. In fact, I've even made less than 4 cups & it worked well.

M. Lavey I JUST ordered and received a new lid from Cusinart. They were backordered and I had to wait a month to get it, so I suggest you JUMP on ordering it. The part # for a 12-cup percolator is PRC-12CVR, and can be found on their site.

I don't have a percolator anymore (my favorite coffee brewer) but suspect the answer is yes. I'm using Mr Coffee drip coffee maker and just put the tablet in the empty basket and run through the cycle. I then run the brew cycle twice more with nothing in the basket, does a great job.

If the opening is between 1-1/2 and 2-1/2 inches, it will fit. The way it works is the large metal washer screws on from the underside of the percolator top.

I use it in my Farberware 8 cup stove-top percolator. It fits well and does an excellent job.
