Review Date: March 12, 2010
Reviewer: D. Mercer,
my wife wanted this coffee pot because it looks old fashioned.
when she washed it the glass top broke.
the pot was expensive but not worth the money.
probably made in china
Great Pot, Bad Basket!
 
Review Date: March 11, 2010
Reviewer: miss teri parson,
The basket stem broke after about two months. from the beginning, we had to use rubber bands to keep the lid on the basket from popping off.
Also, the pot gets very hot and hasn't an insulated handle, so you will need a pot holder to pour it.

Other than that, it's satisfactory.
Favorite camp coffee-pot!

Reviewer: Noreen A. Pohlson-massey, USA
Great little coffee-maker. I sent this one to my son who's stationed in Afghanistan. He and his buddies like a good strong cup of "Joe" so I send Starbucks coffee every few weeks so they can make their own brew while out in the field. So this tough little coffee pot is over there helping the war effort by giving our guys a taste of home. (Government-issued coffee just doesn't make it!)
Percolator made a hit!
 
Review Date: January 30, 2010
Reviewer: James C. Strickland, Austin, Texas
My 87 year old aunt could not find a percolator in deep southeast Texas where she lives. I bought this for her and she is thrilled to have coffee made the way she's liked for 70 years. It's rugged enough that if she drops it no harm will come. Big enough that when I visit there's enough for her kids (my cousins) and I.
My favorite camp percolator
 
Review Date: November 25, 2009
Reviewer: microjoe,
PROS: This pot is very sturdy, paint is high quality, strong handle, lid has a lip that if installed properly should not fall out. Has a nice chrome ring at the top of the pot where the lid fits in, a spot that is vulnerable to chip in most enamel pots. Also good for heating water for tea, hot chocolate, and dishes. I prefer percolators over drip coffeemakers. I have never had to replace a stove top percolator because it was broken, but have owned countless expensive drip coffeemakers. Breakable carafes, clock to reset, takes up counter-space, buttons to fuss with, filters to replace. My simple pot lasts years longer, and the clean-up and maintenance is simpler. Now you can buy paper filters for percolators, but I think that is a waste of money. Like a drip, there is a learning curve. This type of pot does not have a water marker for example. But there is a simple instruction sheet in the box. But for taste, I get a full bodied dark coffee, and I do not need to buy the high dollar coffee I used to buy to get the same robust flavor. My opinion anyway.

CONS: Many of the new percolator pots have strainer baskets that are really flimsy in design, including both the Coleman and the GSI brand. The real problem is the upright stem, it tilts over if you know what I mean. You can bend it back, but I worry it will break over time. If they improved the basket assembly with a heavier grade aluminum like they used to make, or a stainless steel basket, I think it would solve the problem. I replaced the upright stem and basket in mine with an old sturdy one from a old pot I found at a yard sale. Most stainless steel kitchen (non camp) models have a stainless basket. Also - For some weird reason, most of the manufacturers basket is the same size, no matter how big the pot is. Next issue, on models with the glass dome, some folks can break them. They sell replacements in 2 sizes at Amazon.com for less than a pack of paper filters. The good news is that Coleman will mail you a replacement dome for free if you break it, email them through their web site seems to be the best way to get this done. I am guessing they would also replace the filter?

TIPS: Wet the inside of the basket before you put grounds in, to help prevent grounds from going through the holes. Use a medium ground blend. If you plan to use it on a camp fire, soap the outside of the pot and let dry for a minute before placing on the fire, to prevent soot stains. If you do it every time, it will stay looking like new. Don't cram the coffee grounds down into the basket either. Some folks like to heat the water good and hot, and then put the basket in, I don't as that is a good way to get burned. This model comes in a nice box, I recommend you keep it if you camp with the pot, it makes a perfect storage box to avoid scratching the pot.

RECOMMENDATION: Great pot, my favorite of these for camp use actually. Coleman also sells a 12 cup and a 9 cup in this shape. The 12 cup is Stainless Steel, instead of enamel, but I do not know about the basket. I found matching cups, but shop around the third party sellers here to get the best price. Coleman's competitor GSI makes an 8 cup percolator in red or blue, but the lid is attached which is a nice feature.
