User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Ideal for camping!
Took this with on our last camping trip and we love it! Made excellent coffee every time. Cleans up easily if you rub a bar of soap around the bottom and the bottom edge before you cook over the fire.
5 Stars Great camping perculator!
I’ve found this coffee pot to be great for making camp coffee! It is well constructed, quite heavy duty, with very good perculating. The coffee comes out very good if cooked right. There’s been some complaints about the light-weight stem inside and I can see what they’re saying. I haven’t suffered any problems with that, though. If you’re not rough with the insides I don’t think you will either. I really like this coffee pot.
3 Stars charming, but…
This looks very nice, but the inner parts are so thin and poorly made that I spent time online looking for replacement parts before I even started using it.
3 Stars Good Coffee with one major drawback
This coffee pot makes great coffee and will be a boon when the power goes off this summer as it inevitably does in South Florida. The pot, handle and lid are well-crafted and sturdy. BUT, the stem which holds the coffee grounds basket is unbelievably flimsy. It bent completely out of shape just from hand washing. Fortunately, I was able to bend it back into the proper shape, but I’m sure after one season, we’ll probably have to replace it. We own several Coleman products and this is the first one that has elements that are so poorly manufactured.
3 Stars Beware of the basket!
This is a great item for saving on the amount of coffee you need to make a pot. If you like strong “Man Coffee”, this will brew it right!
in our normal BUNN coffee maker we use to use 10-12 scoops of whole beans (ground of course), with this coffee maker we only need 6-7 scoops of whole beans for the same amount of water. The only complaint we have is that we need to use a heavy duty binder clip to keep the top of the “basket” on so that the coffee grounds don’t push the lid up and allow the grounds to spill over the side of the basket into the coffee. We like strong coffe but not coffee that is gritty.
