COLETTI Classic Percolator Coffee Pot — The Most Nostalgic Camping Coffee Pot, Now Modernized [Blue Enamel, 12 Cup]

this is a great product. i did not want a coffee maker with plastic parts; I wanted steel. THis is simple and old school, no technology other than great design. The circular filters are brilliant and work perfectly: just keep the heat on low once it starts to perk. This makes me healthier and is convenient. Why the heck does a coffee pot need a brain? I prefer my coffee pot stupid.

A small but important feature is the grounds basket that sits on top of the percolator stem only has holes on the top to let the water in and holes in the bottom to let the coffee out. Most percolators also have holes around the sides of the percolator basket but this one does not so a small filter can be used to minimize the grounds in the finished coffee. It takes longer for the coffee to brew but it’s worth it.

Update: As of November 27th I've now had two of these coffee pots. The first one broke and even though I ordered used they sent me a new one. Well I wish it was riding off in the sunset from there, that's hardly the case. Not only did the second one chip. I now noticed rust. I was excited because it was advertised as stainless steel. I figured I'd polish off the chipped area and continue using it. I didn't think the inside would begin to rust. This is a violation again advertising and the law prohibits this sort of thing. I know I'm too late to get a refund of my original purchase. So.... I'm kinda stuck. Do I report this to BBB or contact the company again? It's overpriced for starters especially if they're making these kinds of shortcuts. So yeah BBB will most likely be hearing from me after the holidays. Update: This company stands by their products. I currently cently have one chipping on the lid and inside. After reporting it to Amazon with no resolution offered. Coletti is gonna make it right. They have a lifetime customer here now. I love their products. Can't buy coffee that tastes as good anywhere. I look forward to a lifelong relationship with this company. God bless... Hope this helps someone out there. Update: Scratch what I said about the disk shape filters. The medical grade disk filters are working great. Here's how to properly use them. 1.) Do not use more than 8tsps. 2.) Do not use more than two 16.9 fl oz of water. I personally use to average food Lion like bottles of water. 3.) If you are eyeballing it. Fill to the first hole on the spout visible from the inside. 4.) Heat high to boil then simmer medium heat to percolate. 5.) Enjoy your cowboy style coffee. The taste is insanely good. I never imagined a pot changing the flavor so much. Ppl giving bad reviews on here simply do not know how to use this product. Yes the basket is a little small and could use more holes. None the less if you use it the way I'm about to explain. I assure you,, you'll have no issues. 1.) use regular filters. 2.) Do not fill all the way. 3.) I recommend two bottles of store bought bottles of water. The medical grade filters do work, letting in a small amount of grinds. So ultimately it's up to the user. For me cheap $2 dollar pk of filters do the trick and are easier to find. I personally use six to seven tbsp of coffee, but to each their own. Use the amount you like. I hope this helps someone out there. Oh and yes you'll have to fashion the filter to fit in the basket. Just push filter over pipe and into basket. The process will be obvious once attempted. Enjoy and God bless 🙏❤️ This is my new daily coffee pot. I love this thing, and you will too.

I like it all except the metal that attaches the lid to the pot. When it opens, that little metal piece is flimsy and I'm sure will break after a few more openings. Not a deal breaker, but they could've made that stronger or hinged instead of a bendable piece of thin aluminum.

I bought this coffee pot because my percolator's glass (so, I thought, it was plastic) cover top, and the company, Westbend is no longer supplying replacements. So, I decided to try this cute, plastic-free coffee maker. I am happy to say that I am THRILLED!! I look forward to my cowboy coffee every morning and love the taste and the heat, as in temp of the coffee. I promise you, if you buy this coffee pot, it will be very difficult to go back to your lukewarm, plastic filled coffee. BONUS: Small business that gives part of its proceeds to Vets!! YOU MUST TRY THIS!

Love the fact that it's no more plastic taste when I drink coffee easy to use. Easy to clean, durable

Very nice looking coffee percolator. And cooks in good time and is easy to clean. Coffee tastes great. Great value for money. I highly recommend buying yourself or send as gift. My man said he hadn’t tasted a cup of coffee made like that in percolator in a very long time. I’m impressed.

Does not work. The percolator grounds container is only held on by it's own weight, not a snap-on lid similar to Faberware's electric percolators. Although the instructions stated use medium heat, I still had grounds boiling out of the percolator grounds container. This engineering method of using the weight of the percolator grounds lid for keeping the grounds from boiling out, if using a specific level of lower heat, however the water still needs to boil. Everything else appears well designed or manufactured. Whether or not I received a percolator not intended for this container, I'm not sure. However, does appear to be as intended as the main lid does not snap-on, however nor does the main lid provide any additional weight upon the percolator grounds container lid. Long story short, this unit had grinds all over the place. And upon pouring, liquid also leaked all over the place. What Should People Expect From a Percolator? After my experience using this range/stove/campfire percolator, find returning to using a simple pot with water and cooking the grinds "cowboy style" and subsequently simply using a strainer for removing grinds method far better and far cleaner! These stove/range/campfire percolators seem to be the predecessor of the famed electric percolators. The real benefit of a percolator are the electric percolators. Electric percolators have many many benefits such as being plugged into any remote receptacle, certainly no leaking, grinds are well contained within the percolator grinds container. If using a stove/range/campfire, likely far better just resorting to a pot of water with grinds, and straining with a metal sieve strainer. Think people are being mislead from watching Western TV Movies, a campfire percolator is a need, when likely people long ago just relied upon a simple pot of water and using a strainer. The two methods of boiling grinds I've used for two or more decades without investing and wasting money with coffee makers, pressure cooking or boiling grinds subsequently straining grinds out and an electric (Faberware) percolator. And if you're camping/traveling and forget the strainer, just let the liquid sit a short period, allowing settling of the grinds! PROS 1) Coating and manufacturing, all appears well made, more so once washed and heated a few times. 2) The main metal container is lightweight, but still supposedly a (enamel coated) durable stainless steel. CONS 1) Percolator grounds container lid is only held in place via it's weight alone, and will significantly leak grinds into the water during boiling, or heavy boiling. I would certainly fix the lid for making a tighter fit, and ensuring additional pressure down upon the percolator grinds container lid. 2) The entire metal container excessively leaked while pour! Some refinement of the metal shaping is needed. I'm certainly returning this, reverting to a pot of hot water when boiling grinds on the stove or campfire!

Best camping coffee maker. Filters fit well no coffee grounds in the coffee.

I've wanted one of these stove top percolators for ages. The enamelled ware is of good quality, although the lid seems fragile and loose, it's perfect for the job it does. I've never had any issues with the lid. At first I thought the glass top wouldn't fit properly, but it has and is very secure. I use it on a gas hob but it will work equally well on an electric plate or even outdoors on a griddle over an open fire. It is stylish and compliments the rest of the black appliances in my kitchen. Compared to plug in, electric ones, it very reasonably priced. I get four good normal sized cups of coffee with each brew. I like the versatility of the design, where it can be used at home and also on camping trips.

La caffettiera smaltata da campeggio io la uso in casa, nella mia vita di tutti i giorni. A colazione per bere il mio caffè e se ne può fare tanto. con questa caffettiera, così ne posso bere anche durante il giorno. Inoltre il suo aspetto esteticamente molto accattivante mi arreda, in cucina, il piano di lavoro. Sono soddisfatta dell’acquisto.

When you put the coffee “container” inside of the percolator and try to shut the lid..it doesn’t close. Whoever measured the circumference and diameter of this coffee component container should be fired, as per the 1st and 2nd photo. 3rd photo: that thin, flexible piece of metal holding the lid on should last 3-4 times before it breaks off. Can’t clean that portion properly either so I can only imagine the mold that would grow. Terrible design, the lid doesn’t close and the bendy straw piece of metal holding the lid on is just ridiculous. For $100 I expect the lid to at least close and for the device to actually function. Do not waste your money. Returning this item ASAP for a full refund
