Granite Ware Coffee Boiler, 12 Cup - Speckled Black

This item was a God-send during the ice storm! No electricity? ! No coffee?! The Coffee Boiler worked great in our wood-burning fireplace! Made a small fire, used a campfire rack, placed atop and …Hot Coffee’s Ready! So versatile - get a couple, use to heat soup, chili, veggies. Easy to use. Easy to clean. The only feature we didn’t care for was the “hinge” on the lid, as it was very floppy %26 we felt it presented a potential burn hazard. We removed the hinge from the lid %26 had no concerns at that point.

We heat with a wood stove. This coffee pot can take the heat. We fill it with water and use it to put moisture in the air. A dap of white vinegar keeps it from rusting.

Came just in time, waiting for company, and I can make coffees the old style. Cinnamon sticks, brown sugar cones ( piloncillo) and two types of coffee. Farmers style.

Used it over open fire while camping twice and twice over a butane stove. The wind knocked it over to the ground from a table twice; it is still in one piece. The lid came "undone" both times when it fell, the aluminum flaps that help hold it against the handle are very "soft" metal. I used wet sand from the lake shore to rinse the soot away from the open fire. So far it's doing ok. I'd like a few more camping trips to really evaluate how sturdy it is, but it survived our first camping trip so far. It's a good size for our need.

I love boiled coffee! It's the only way to go. I have used this on our electric stove but I DON'T put it on high, just a little less. It has been too cold to cook outside on my fire pit but I can't wait. I think I'll have to brave the cold to see if holds up. At this point, I have no doubt. I am very satisfied with the boiler's performance, so far. I did one modification though. I took off the little silver clasp that holds the cover onto the pot. It cleans easier and I get most, if not all, the used coffee grounds out better. Other than that...BOIL AWAY!

great for camping. I was under the impression that is was to come with the strainer like in the picture but it did not. that is why I didn't give it 5 stars.

Product arrived with small pin hole where the base curls over the sides and leaks. Since the first time I put water into it. I have to imagine this is just a fluke and that most others using this product have had success. Challenging to return to Walmart, so I'll use it as a planter and buy something different.

Came with no internal parts how am I supposed to make coffee now I got to buy the internal parts to use.

Was expecting to have a basket, but it does not. The lid does not sit well on top and falls off extremly easy. For the price, you should go ahead and buy the name brand.

I really wanted this coffee pot to be a nice one. Unfortunately the lid doesn't fit. And it's very thin metal. I'll have to return it.
