I hung this over an open fire for 2 months every morning. Then I used it over a propane burner for another 3 months daily. I honestly abused this percolator. Scorched it, dropped it, bent it, left it in the fire accidentally, dropped it a few more times, and bent it some more.This beat up, abused, ugly percolator made delicious coffee every time. It cleans out easily, and though the charred blackened outside is ugly, the stainless steel on the inside is spotless.I really put it to the test and it held up! I needed a rugged heavy duty coffee pot, and this is perfect. I will take this ugly burnt dinged up percolator inside and continue to make coffee with it, remembering the stories it shows, for many more years.A high quality, super durable percolator that performs great, and is now on its way to becoming an heirloom. Thanks

There are many products-cheaper than this.I bought the cheaper one. But the quality is not same. If have this and another brand side by side, despite of price, i bet you would choose this like i did, because you can tell the difference. For example, this one is very well welded and doesn't have old steel smell. Each part fits without any gap

Purchased the largest sized pot (36 cup) as I wanted one to brew coffee for a group of campers in a single batch. So far testing this, all my expectations and needs have been met. I wanted to do a review to share firsthand what I found on the quality of the unit and also its capacity, as I know the product information provided isn’t entirely clear on exactly what they define as a “cup”.The pot is well constructed, very sturdy but pleasantly a lighter weight than I expected it to be.The handle feels a little uncomfortable, especially when it has a good amount of water in it, and it’s not insulated so a glove or potholder will still be necessary. This is a rather minor nitpick and not much of a bother. Also, the bail wire on it isn’t just a nice feature, it is a necessity—with water in it, it is difficult to move or pour with just one hand, but that is expected given the volume it can hold.One really great surprise was the percolator basket. Unlike ones from other camp coffee pots, this one feels more solid and not likely to bend unless you really worked hard at doing so. Also, unlike others, where the basket is loose and wobbles around or you have to reach inside to pull it out, the basket here fits flush and secure on the top lip of the pot.Now, onto the capacity. Recommendations on the packaging are to keep the water below the percolator basket. I filled it with 24 X 8oz cups (196oz), or 1.5 gallons of water. This reached to about ½ inch below the bottom of the basket. I then ran it with just water to test and was able to get it to percolate and it did not come out the spout, although I didn’t test the “oops, I had it way too high and on too long and forgot to keep an eye on it” scenario. I brewed 1 gallon of coffee in it and it did that comfortably and I think at that level there would be no chances of spillage by over boiling. One final note on the capacity, I did attempt brew a smaller batch in this (4 X 8oz and then 8 X 8oz) and it would not percolate enough with so little water in it. So, if you might need to brew smaller batches sometimes, better have a smaller pot handy.

First off, this is well made. Great shape, all steel, and well designed. It can be hung over a fire or I just put it on the camp chef as that's how I'll be using it most often. I measured everything so I could leave an informed review. A bit more than 8 cups of water fit in here when making coffee, because the rest of the volume is taken by the percolator basket. You'll see when you remove the basket there is a little metal ring on the top of the spout that goes down into the pot. Don't have your water going above that ring. That ring holds the grounds basket. Based on that amount of water, I coarsely ground the coffee (Coarse, like there were a few whole beans left and that was ok. Coarse keeps less grounds from going in the pot.) and measured 16 tablespoons of ground, and put that in the basket. Then, time to turn on the heat. Go high to begin with. After a few minutes (time varies based on your heat source) I saw clear water in the glass cap. A minute or 2 later the water was a little brown. From that point on I went about 5 more minutes. I think it could go longer too, which I'll experiment with. I had to turn the heat down at that point as it was boiling too fast and overflowed a little. It responded as soon as I turned the heat down and didn't overflow anymore. Next time I would turn the heat to medium or medium low as soon as water is seen in the glass cap. I'm using a 30,000 btu stove, remember that. Anyway, then I poured it into a mug. Looked good, smelled good. Had to wait a while to be cool enough to drink. The taste was less burnt and acid than typical coffee and more creamy and rich. Holy moly! So good! You can't make a half pot or the hydraulics of the little steam engine that is your percolator won't work. So I have some coffee for later. I might buy a smaller pot too, for when it's just me. I am very impressed!

I've experienced two other percolating coffee pots which always used to boil over into the flame no matter what. This however is simply brilliant. No overflow, no aluminum and no fuss. I highly recommend.

das geniale Umlaufsystem in diesem Kaffeebereiter ermöglicht ein weitgehend unbeaufsichtigtes Kaffeekochen. Man kann sich nebenbei ungestört anderen Tätigkeiten widmen, nach 5- 10 min ist der Kaffee fertig. Und wenn man ihn mal vergisst, schmeckt er nicht mehr ganz so lecker, aber es brennt wenigstens keine Gummidichtung durch wie in herkömmlichen Mokkakännchen.Wir haben uns vor 25 Jahren den ersten aus USA mitgebracht, dieser hier war ein Geschenk für einen Freund. Und der hat ihn gleich ausprobiert und ist begeistert.

Die Kanne ist wirklich mehr als empfehlenswert.Sie funktioniert nach dem System der italienischen Espresso-Kannen: Wasser einfüllen, Kaffeepulver in den Einsatz geben, über's Lagerfeuer hängen und abwarten, denn jetzt wird es wirklich spannend:durch den Glasknopf im Deckel sieht man, wann das Wasser anfängt zu kochen und man kann beobachten, wie das Wasser sich braun färbt und zu Kaffee wird.Besser als fernsehschauen !!!Allein schon wegen dem Beobachten wurde immer wieder Kaffee gekocht :-)und wir werden so eine Kanne wegen der Begeisterung aller auch zu einem Geburtstag verschenken.Der Preis ist gerechtfertigt. Das Material ist wirklich sehr robuster Edelstahl, dem es nichts ausmacht, dass er über dem Feuer schwarz wird. Mit Powercreme ist die Kanne dann auch relativ leicht wieder sauber zu bekommen.
