GSI Outdoors Percolator Coffee Pot | Enamelware Campfire Coffee Boiler Kettle for Outdoor Camping Cookware, Cabin, RV, Kitchen, Hunting & Backpacking

There are only a few things that can make camping better than just being in the great outdoors! To me that is having a hot cup of camp fire coffee that has been percolating on the fire all morning and is thicker than the blackness of night.......lol! I have always wanted to purchase a stoneware coffee pot and I found this one so I thought I would give it a go. This pot is a little smaller than I thought it would be, but none the less it is a great pot and is a very bright red stoneware that matches the cups and plates that i purchased so I went with it. The pot works like a charm, I had this thing on the campfire all weekend long brewing pot after pot of coffee and when it was charred black and covered in patine, I simply soaked it in some soapy water and all of it scrub bed right off and looked like I just took it out of the box. The only part about the pot that I did not like was that the see through percolator part of the lid was made out of plastic instead of glass! Other than that I would definitely give this pot 4.9 stars for sure!

I just recently bought this percolator, and tried it in various settings: on the stove top at home, on a camping propane cooker, and on a grill over an open fire, and all with different types of coffee - all three methods and beans produced the most amazing coffee. Now I am a coffee snob, and I don't even drink any coffee at coffee shops because I feel they don't know how to make a good cup of java. The coffee made with this percolator is rich, almost creamy, full-flavored but not bitter. If you make sure to grind your coffee on the coarse setting, the amount of grinds that make it into the coffee are minimal. One of the batches was even made with cheap Folger's coffee that my friend brought on our camping trip, and this little miracle pot even managed to turn that one into a delicious cup of coffee. Yes, the insert is not the most stable, but it performs its function perfectly, and unless you use it "other than directed," you shouldn't have any problems with it. I keep it in the pot, and clean it carefully by hand, and have not had any problems. I highly recommend this percolator.

Good coffee maker, but you definitely get what you pay for. I paid just a little over $20. The inner percolator mechanism, upon arrival, had a bent base. As I needed it for my camping trip that weekend, I didn't have time to send it back or complain. I gingerly bent it back into place and it worked fine. The inner percolator assembly, however, is very cheap feeling. I don't think it's plastic, but it's a very soft, easily broken material. In addition, the lid to the coffee basket is so soft that it doesn't really make a great seal onto the basket itself so when the water gets boiling, it has the tendency to actually push coffee grounds out of the basket and into the water. Also, the clip that holds the lid to the handle is very soft and has already broken after two uses. As for the functional aspect, it did exactly as it was supposed to. It produced a pretty darned good cup of coffee. Keep in mind that "8 Cups" is 8 6 oz cups. For the size cups we were using at my camping trip, it was more like 4 cups. Luckily, I had an airpot that I brought so I just made batches of coffee and added it to the airport/thermos for keeping warm. Bottom line: it's decent product for around $20. Handle the inner components with care and it should last you a good long while. Makes pretty good coffee, but has the tendency to include grounds.

Great turnaround time. Quality product

This is a great size for our pioneer campout. The adult help are glad to have coffee in the a.m. We use a stove top burner and the volume takes a while to make. The hinge for the top is a little flimsy bot being able to remove the cover is very helpful for cleaning.

Thought it would be nice to have another percolator to use on the campfire or grill at the lake house. This had something like 4.3 stars, not too bad. So I order one, bring it to the lake house and open to use. Wow, what a crappy POS. There is not one thing good about this. Flip up the top lid, is way smaller than the opening and is super loose, like you found parts laying around and thought, poor fit, but could work. Need a hinge, so you find a crappy piece of aluminum, kind of use your fingers and easily bend it around the handle. you know it wont actually hold the top lid in place, but if you squeeze the crappy hinge, the top may not fall off when you open it. When you close it, seems like 1/4 inch gap all the way around where it would seal. The stem and basket look like they were laying around and were for a smaller coffee maker. The basket is way smaller than the circumference of the opening, it just rattles around in there. Says the handle is silicone, sure doesn't feel like it. It would seem to take more effort to make something this bad than to actually make a good one. It is like this company had bins of left over parts, and put this crappy, ill fitting coffee maker together to use up old left over parts. The only way someone who gives this more than 1 star, either got in through Vine free to do a review, or never saw or used any other percolator. I would be ashamed to put my company name on a product that is this bad. I would NEVER buy any product GSI sells if they are willing to sell this coffee maker. I can not find one even remotely positive thing to say about this. Want to see how crappy something can be made, marketed and sold? Buy one, you will be as amazed as I am that a company would actually put their name on this product, and how anyone would ever give this more than one start! lol. If Dollar General had these for 5.00, and I picked it up and checked it out, I would laugh and put it back on the shelf.

This was just okay and overpriced in my opinion. Ours was missing the internal mechanism that allows you to brew coffee. My main concern is that the metal is very thin; we tried using it as a pitcher to boil water, and the whole thing was too hot to hold. There are better options for less than $35. A shame because the item is so cute and nostalgic

I had a similar 1 but it was time for a new one, makes great coffee, easy to clean, it's a little thin so it helps to keep the temperature on low heat if its on your stove and you need a pot holder or a kitchen towel to grab it, I'm going to wrap my handle in 1000 lb para cord.

Did not think this was as solid as it looks. Handle gets very hot and centre viewing piece falls out. Not really very happy with this. It is ok size wise and all but...

I love these types of coffee makers but with this one in particular you are going to have to grind your own beans and not to fine either, otherwise at the bottom of the cup you get a nice meal of coffee grounds. You could always carry a tea strainer I suppose and it’s hardly the worst thing ever but there’s bound to be folk who have a serious issue with such an inconvenience. Coffee tastes amazing and if used indoors the whole house smells great too.

mit dem Gaskocher zusammen bekommt man einen guten Kaffee unterwegs, allerdings sollte der Kaffee nicht zu fein gemahlen sein, etwas gröber ist besser, aber funktioniert super

hay que seguir las instrucciones, hace buen café, necesita filtro de papel. Llego bien embalado, perfecta, en el tiempo acordado, un color verde muy bonito (la quería en otro color pero siempre está agotado)

A la deuxième utilisation, la cafetière était percée et l'eau a commencé à goûter sur la plaque gaz. Retour via Amazon effectué.
