Have been using my stovetop percolator for 12+ years now..  the last 7-8 years have literally been 5-7 times a week on our gas stove.. 
Mr. Coffee is a lot faster, but the percolator simply makes a superior cup of coffee..
Have tried a couple of other (more costly) brands, but the Farberware is absolutely my daily go-to percolator...  in the process of ordering a 2nd 12 cup percolator for our new camper..  excellent quality!!
