COLETTI Bozeman Coffee Percolator - Camping Coffee Pot – Percolator Coffee Pot for Campfire or Stove Top Coffee Making – 9 CUP

Item shipped a little slow but it was packaged very well and the price was fair. Makes a great pot of coffee.

I really like this coffee maker! Wanted to try a coffee making method beyond the drip coffee maker which experience tells me it's approaching its life expectancy, just being proactive. As soon as I received the pot I brewed a pot and yes I could taste the difference as the percolated coffee tasted more full bodied than the drip method. I must say though that Mr. Coffee has been a decent maker and the current one is six years brewing and the fourth one in almost 45 years.

Perfect percolator. I have no complaints about it. You get a little ground here and there in your coffee, but that's normal and tastes great. Pour slowly and hold the top down to keep the grounds out (like with any percolator. There is zero plastic on this wonderful tool!!

No overflow of coffee because the cover or lid has a small steam release hole next to the glass knob. I only put 11 cups of cold water for perculating . After cooling and removel of the basket, I then added more water to the 12 cup line.This gives me 6-7 oz coffee for 12-8 days daily with my microwave. My hazelnut choice doesn't match my wife's. Cleaning the Coletti 12 cup pot every 12-6 days beats a electrical perculator. this

Easy ordering; arrived in short period of time.

Love this coffee pot to use anytime needed. Inside, Outside or Traveling use and no electricity ever needed for a fresh cup of coffee or Hot Tea.

its a percolator. the handle does get hot when making coffee. its compact. just i would recommend the 12 cup pot you can use regular coffee filters with it and get very little coffee grounds in the pot. i would recommend this product.

I wanted to be able to give this a 5 star, and I will recommend this percolator at the top of all modern gas/electric stovetop and camping percolators, but this one, like every modern percolator that can go on a stovetop, is made with too thin materials. Older ones were made with a thicker wall allowing them to retain heat a little longer. I had to return the 14 cup Bozeman camp percolator because it had the raised bottom, had no measurements on the pot, did not allow the lid to sit properly, and took al.ost an hour, and this is at all flame settings, but I decided to give Bozeman another chance. While I have tried to get this one to percolate 12 cups in less than 20 minutes on all flame settings, it just doesn't happen. It takes about 12-15 minutes to start percolating. After that, if you want coffee strng enough, it needs at least ten minutes continued percolating at that heat level. I do like the 10 filters thrown in, but I wish they were made to cover the whole interior of the ground cup,since Bozeman ground cups have holes on the sides, as well. I did buy another 100 of the largest filters with the first pot, because the specific size will fit most any percolator and can be easily trimmed down if necessary. I do like the tenpered glass bulb and the heat and flame resistant wooden grips on the handle. They perform their job well. Now, I buy all sorts of bagged coffee and bean coffee. If you can, get bean and grind it to a slightly bigger ground than normal bag coffee. If not, bag coffee is fine. You just have to let the grounds settle a little before you pour. That is with any percolator, filter or not. My wife is still working on getting a strong enough batch, but I was able to achieve this on the first attempt. It is relatively easy to clean and takes up little space. Many people have aluminum percolators because the aluminum transfers the heat better and allows the coffee to percolate quicker, but I do not want to chance too much aluminum into my diet, so stainless steel will always be my preference. I use this promarily on a gas stove, but I have tried it on an electric eye close to the size of the bottom, and it sits flat and does not warp, so it heats up just as quickly and percolates just the same or maybe a little quicker. Even though it does not have a hanger like the 14 and 24 cup camp percolators, I will take it with me camping and use it on a camp grate or improvised stove top. I wouldn't have used the hanger anyways. No one makes a hanger to be able to put a percolator in the right height to get a camp percolator to work properly. Another thing that is nice, is that if you were to drop and break or lose the glass bulb, you can always replace it. I do not know how or if it works, but Bozeman has a lifetime warranty on theor percolators. Recap, this would be a 5 if it had thicker walls and someone figured out how to get it to percolate quicker without burning anything down.

My recommendation comes with reservation. The percolator came with rough edges, one which I discovered while cleaning it. I cut my thumb and it took several months to heal — and left a visible scar. The manufacturer was completely unresponsive to my inquiries when I attempted to reach them directly on why the price was significantly less through Walmart vs. directly through their own online store.

I thought that being a camping coffee pot it would be made tougher than a stove top pot. I was disappointed in the quality of this item. It's made cheaply for what it was made for. The top hinge is the most obvious spot on my disappointment. Not to mention the grinds get everywhere. Should have went with the German one. Disappointed with this decision
