(8 cup) - GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Steel Percolator Coffee Pot, 8-Cup

The design is the best I saw out there. No plastic or wood. Conical shape to heat efficiently. Can be used indoor or camping. Brew to desired strength. I bought mine in used/very good condition. Had no box and missing the wire hanger but otherwise perfect and clearly never used. Not bad for half off! I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IT DOESN'T MAKE THE BLURP BLURP NOISE WHEN PERKING! TERRIBLE LOL. 8 cup is a nice size for 2 people. Visually a bit bigger than expecting which is good. I didn't want it to be too tiny. Im using a paper filter (punching a hole in it myself for now, prepunched on its way)cause I dont like cleaning so much and just a few grounds slip out when lifting. Nice to have for when SHTF or camping.

I've experienced two other percolating coffee pots which always used to boil over into the flame no matter what. This however is simply brilliant. No overflow, no aluminum and no fuss. I highly recommend.

Love this when away camping....it works better on a campfire than it does on my hob at home but I only really need it when away for the morning coffee fix.

Die Kanne ist wirklich mehr als empfehlenswert. Sie funktioniert nach dem System der italienischen Espresso-Kannen: Wasser einfüllen, Kaffeepulver in den Einsatz geben, über's Lagerfeuer hängen und abwarten, denn jetzt wird es wirklich spannend: durch den Glasknopf im Deckel sieht man, wann das Wasser anfängt zu kochen und man kann beobachten, wie das Wasser sich braun färbt und zu Kaffee wird. Besser als fernsehschauen !!! Allein schon wegen dem Beobachten wurde immer wieder Kaffee gekocht :-) und wir werden so eine Kanne wegen der Begeisterung aller auch zu einem Geburtstag verschenken. Der Preis ist gerechtfertigt. Das Material ist wirklich sehr robuster Edelstahl, dem es nichts ausmacht, dass er über dem Feuer schwarz wird. Mit Powercreme ist die Kanne dann auch relativ leicht wieder sauber zu bekommen.
