Sports reviews of Coleman 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Percolator
Customer Review: Colemans sturdiest pot for camping
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
PROS: The biggest benefit of this pot over the enamelware coffee pot percolators is the filter basket assembly. It is stainless steel on this model, but only flimsy thin aluminum on the others. This pot is very sturdy, high quality, stainless, strong handle, lid has a lip that if installed properly should not fall out. Also good for heating water for tea, hot chocolate, and dishes. I prefer percolators over drip coffeemakers. I have never had to replace a stove top percolator because it was broken, but have owned countless expensive drip coffeemakers. Breakable carafes, clock to reset, takes up counter-space, buttons to fuss with, filters to replace. My simple pot lasts years longer, (one pot I own is decades old), and the clean-up and maintenance is simpler. Now you can buy paper filters for percolators, but I think that is a waste of money. Like a drip, there is a learning curve. This type of pot does not have a water marker for example. But there is a simple instruction sheet included. But for taste, I get a full bodied dark coffee, and I do not need to buy the high dollar coffee I used to buy to get the same robust flavor. My opinion anyway.
CONS: The glass dome, some folks can break them. They sell replacements in 2 sizes at Amazon.com for less than a pack of paper filters. The good news is that Coleman will mail you a replacement dome for free if you break it, email them through their web site seems to be the best way to get this done. Some folks don't like having a glass done, and so maybe they should try the 9 cup blue enamelware model that does not use a dome. But for me, I use the dome to gauge the coffee readiness by the color of the perking coffee.
TIPS: Wet the inside of the basket before you put grounds in, to help prevent grounds from going through the holes. Use a medium ground blend. If you plan to use it on a camp fire, soap the outside of the pot and let dry for a minute before placing on the fire, to prevent soot stains. If you do it every time, it will stay looking like new. Don't cram the coffee grounds down into the basket either. Some folks like to heat the water good and hot, and then put the basket in, I don't as that is a good way to get burned. When I bought this model it came in a nice box, I recommend you keep it if you camp with the pot, it makes a perfect storage box to avoid scratching the pot.
RECOMMENDATION: Good pot, I recommend. Coleman's also competitor GSI makes an 8 cup percolator in red or blue, but the lid is attached which is a nice feature. I am partial to Coleman though.
UPDATE: I have read recent posts that state that some online sellers are shipping without the original box, perhaps to shave weight for shipping. If it is true, it is a shame as I have quite a few Coleman pots and have kept them in their original boxes, just like my Coleman lanterns.

About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.
