Coleman 9-Cup Aluminum Coffee Pot

Customer Reviews

We've had an aluminum percolator coffee pot like this for about thirty-five years. It's a great camping coffee pot. Lightweight. Back in the days before drip coffee makers (don't remember those days?), percolators were the "in" thing for your kitchen. I keep Mr. Coffee-sized paper filters with the coffee maker, ready to go. Use a knife or a pencil to poke a hole in the bottom of the filter, put it in the coffee basket, put in a few tablespoons of coffee, pour in some water up to the bottom of the basket, put on the cover, set it on the Coleman stove, Svea stove or other lightweight backpacking stove, or over a fire, and within a short time, it is perking away. The hot water is drawn up the tube inside, hits the glass top, and drops into the coffee basket, then filters into the water below. The only problem is that you can easily bring the water to a roaring boil unless you're paying attention, which is way too much heat. My experience...
Anyway, this is a keeper. We've still got the original one ready to go for power outages or camping. It has lasted "forever." A "classic?" Bought in 1974?

This is a feather-weight, simple, basic campstove percolator. Coleman quality, classic camp style. Coffee tastes great. Makes enough for 2 people to each have two cups. Easy to clean. Looks even better the more you use it, gets a burnished look. I agree with another reviewer that you can get a few grounds at the bottom of the pot, but this can be avoided by not overfilling with water and/or coffee, and by not over-boiling. Do NOT use paper filters with this thing, it's not designed for that. Simply start out with your stove on high, and once you see the percolator knob starting to perk--turn down the stove heat to medium. Let it perk 5-7 minutes--then turn it off. If you let it sit on high to perk, the top of the filter box will pop off inside the pot, which causes the grounds to overflow. Another good point: because it's aluminum, which conducts and holds heat very efficiently--the coffee stays super-hot off the heat while two people each have a first cup, and it remains hot enough for when it's time to have a second.
