GSI Outdoors Enamel Coffee Pot to Store Hot Coffee, Tea for Camping & Farmhouse - 6 Cup

Love that old western look and feel

UUUUUHHHHH... It's a coffee pot not a measuring cup! Does your MR. COFFEE have a mark at 6 cups? That said...Perfect size for a back a pack, 5 1/4 at the base, 6 3/4 spout to handle, 7 3/4 tall, the mouth is about 3 1/4 inches so you can find cups that will fit inside. Detachable top makes for easy cleaning. Beautiful enamel finish. Seems quite well made, I expect a long life. Because of it's small size the handle gets hot until you remove it from the boil, and depending on how YOU make coffee you have to babysit against boil overs.

It works well but is most definitely not 6 cups. I measured and it is 6 cups filled all the way up to the rim which is not feasible since there is a spout. You can boil about 4.5 cups of water and then add another half cup of water afterwards. The cover is held on by very flimsy metal but it works. Otherwise it is a very well made pit for boiling water or making cowboy coffee.

Love the look of this coffee pot, others have commented to me how it fits in the with decor and feel of my cabin. Nostalgic look, very practical, and I was surprised how the handle doesn't get really hot even with the water is boiling inside!

I must say I am very pleased with this coffee pot. I heat water in it to pour through a filter holder for a dead electric drip maker. The content of water gives me about three cups worth, or so. I fill it to the bottom hole of the pour spout and heat above a small simmer on the gas stove. Heats fairly quickly.I have had a percolator type, but you need to guess when it is done and it is a sloppy cleanup. If camping I still use paper drip filter but put it in a stainless funnel for the drip. Works well one cup at a time. Naturally, it can also be used for hot water for dried things in packets like oatmeal, mashed potato flakes, gravy mix, and so forth. I suppose you could even cook pasta in it if you've a mind to. Good tool for daily use.

it works very, coffee taste better boiled

I did not feel safe to use this product for boiling water. See attached picture, when under a gas stove the enamel was flaking and chipping off under heat.I assume if the enamel was coming off on the outside it was doing the same on the inside and unsafe to drink.

I understand that this coffee pot is meant to be rustic, but immediately after I unpackaged it, the first time I lifted the lid, the thin metal strap holding the lid to the pot totally gave way and the lid dropped to the tile floor resulting in a big chip to the blue coating on the lid. The metal strap is about the same thickness as heavy foil and wasn't crimped properly, I think. I plan to reattach the lid using copper wire. Having said that, we took the pot camping and it worked well for boiling water on a Coleman gas stove, which we then used to make coffee with a Melitta cone coffee maker. We used the pot about six times over 3 days and it held up perfectly, showing no signs of wear from the heat. Also, the handle did not get overly hot as some other reviewers have stated. So, a negative first impression but I think it will end up being a useful addition to my camping gear.
