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

Just bought for a camping trip. Very well made, sturdy. Makes perfect coffee. Easy to clean. Great for camp outs.

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.

Love this percolator! Took it camping! It brewed deliciously, easy to clean, use, and looking forward to using it more often!I come from a family of Marines and I’m very proud to use a product Veteran Owned!!

Looks very sturdy and well made, including the stainless basket. Problem w enamelware is cracks or chips that then rust. This seems sturdy enough to deter a lot of that. Can’t wait to try it out. You should make more hay out of the Veteran designed etc!

We bought this to use on a wood burning cook stove for a vacation. I grew up watching my parents brew coffee on a percolator, so this brought back memories. I love that it came with filters that prevented grounds from being in my coffee. The coffee was delicious and now I have it in reserve for camping trips!

I like everything about the percolator but I am not in love with the way the lid is hinged on. I really don't see that thin piece of stainless lasting very long. I may be totally wrong only time will tell. We are still playing around with different coffee grinds, amounts of coffee, perc times and with or without filters. All in I think it is a very nice coffee pot.

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!PROS1) 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.CONS1) 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!
