I like a fresh cup of coffee in the morning and that doesn’t change when I’m out camping in the wilderness. This aluminum percolator has a glass viewer on top (to see when your coffee is done) and two metal handles (one on top: to hang your percolator over the fire / the other on the side: to pour your coffee out safely). Serves 9 cups.
Good for camp stove, at home or on fire This is the 9 cup model of this coffee pot, the manufacturer also sells a big 20 cup model hear at Amazon.We regularly use a percolator outside on our firepit at home, and i have tried alot of models of my onw and friends. The straight upright shape of this particular pot makes it an easy pot to fit on the limited space of a campstove or RV camper stove. The company that made this pot mostly makes camping gear, and that is also why the handles are configured this way, for accessing the pot off a fire. It is very light in weight, being made of aluminum.I prefer the stronger darker brew I get from a percolator, and have sworn off drip coffemakers for good. No more filters to buy, it does not have to live on my counter top like a coffee machine, to clock to set, no carafe to break, durable, and very easy to clean. If by chance you ever break a filter basket, you can get replacements and Amazon.com even sells replacement glass percolator tops if you do a search on them,…
Once you figure it out it makes outstanding coffee I just used this pot for a week on a wilderness camping trip, and I have to say that it makes a seriously good cup of coffee. However, you need to get a feel for how you use it. I also recommend getting some percolator filters since they will make the pot more forgiving, but they’re not required (I bought some but lost them in a box and never used them). First things first. Make sure to make a couple of practic pots at home first. Don’t even drink the first one since it will contain any oils from the manufacturing process. You’ll likely also overcook the coffee, which will make it bitter.Here is what worked best for us. Keep in mind that we like strong coffee, so you can adjust as needed. First, fill the pot up to the 9 cup line with decent water. The better the water, the better the coffee. I have to say the water out of the Merced River in Yosemite was outstanding. I didn’t worry about bacteria because we were boiling the water. But I digress. Get course ground coffee…
