GSI Outdoors H2JO! Percolator

Customer Reviews


Bought this months ago, and now that I've used it on a few camping trips I love it. I bought a Nalgene wide mouth bottle to go with it, and it's now the dedicated coffee bottle since the plastic retains the coffee flavor and anything you put in the bottle after tastes like coffee. You could probably get the taste out by cleaning the bottle with boiling water, but I've never bothered.
No matter which method you use (the packaging explains 2 ways to use it) you WILL get some grounds in your coffee...If you're the type who camps and uses simple methods like this it probably won't bother you, I don't mind. The directions specify "coarse ground" coffee which I cannot find pre-ground, so I go to the supermarket that has a coffee grinder.
All in all it has lived up to expectations and works as advertised.
If no grounds ended up in the coffee I'd give it 5 stars.

This is my second H2Jo. I got this one for my wife because I loved mine so much, and because we go on at least a few trips with large groups each year. Two H2Jos keep the coffee flowing freely even with 16+ drinkers one is perking while the other is pouring and there are two pots of water heating up for the next round, try doing that with a traditional percolator. When I'm alone I always do the Cowboy method because I like my coffee strong, and carrying the grounds in the bottle when hiking means that I don't have to use a seperate container for coffee on one-nighters. The only con is that the screen is a bit course for premium ground coffee, we grind our own usually so we just have to remember to leave it a little coarser than usual.
