Perfect for good coffee when kayak camping a river. I always hated instant coffee. This thing is durable and lightweight enough to always make the trip. Fits on my jetboil perfectly.

If you're living single, you don't want to make a huge pot of coffee for just one person, and this pot is just the right size. This unit is advertised as camping gear, but I happily use it at home on the range top. Percolating is old tech; it works, but it won't taste like Starbucks. That's okay, though, because it won't cost like Starbucks, either. The stainless steel coffee pot itself is rugged, well-built, shiny and attractive, and is easy to care for. The silicon handle works great to prevent burning my hand, but I'll usually use a towel to grab it, too, since it's a little small. Another reviewer recommended buying paper filters and the GSI glass perc knob, which I'm glad I did. A filter captures almost all of the grounds, making drinking a better experience. Filters also make cleanup a breeze--with just one gentle bump in the trash can, 95% of the grounds pop right out, and you can rinse the rest out easily. Brewing without the paper filter makes cleanup a harder job, but after experimentation, my opinion is that the coffee does taste better without the filters. It's your choice. I'm also trying to get away from microplastics in my food, so a stainless steel pot with a glass knob makes sense. The glass knob's a few millimeters bigger than the opening on the pot, so it took some wrangling with pliers to convince it to go in, but it now fits. This unit is advertised rather deceptively as a 3-cup pot, but it brews only 12 oz. of coffee, which makes 1.5 cups for one person or two 6-oz. cups if you're sharing. This is, perhaps, my only true regret about buying this model. It's enough for one, maybe, but if you have company over or you want a second cup, you're going to need a larger unit. If you're a one-and done guy, then this will suit you fine. On my electric range it takes 6 minutes on high to get to boiling, and then I let it perk on low for another 3 minutes, which isn't too bad. If you're used to how speedy a Keurig is, then the perking method seems to take forever, especially on mornings when you have to rush out the door. This pot has no heating element, so there's no automatic shut off. Worried that I may forget about it when I'm in a rush and risk burning the house down, I feel compelled to babysit the pot as it works its magic. At first this was an annoying inconvenience to me, but it forced me to slow down, and I've come to appreciate the morning ritual of watching it perk. It's like a quiet meditation. You do have to experiment with your coffee brand, the amount, the grind, and perk times to get it where you like it. My coffee pot arrived without instructions, so I was left to my own devices to figure things out. The criticisms of this older brewing method, from what I can tell, are correct: because it recycles already brewed coffee up the siphon, it makes a slightly bitter brew that is both weak-tasting but strong with caffeine. It's not unpleasant. And there's a satisfaction I get from using this method that I don't get from pour-over methods or a Keurig. I think this is a good product, overall, size not withstanding, and you may enjoy using one yourself at home or over the campfire. This is the brewing method that got our ancestors through the Great Depression and two world wars, and it still works great.

Excelente cafetera de material inoxidable. El café tiene un sabor único cuando se prepara en este tipo de cafetera percoladora.

Zeker niet slecht, eindelijk een percolator zonder rubber of siliconen binnenin, maar verbruikt veel koffie. Het exemplaar ik toegezonden kreeg heeft geen houten handvat (zoals op de foto van de advertentie) maar een rubberen.

Percolateur café.Bien: petit bémol : nécessite un café avec une grosse mouture. Dommage que le bouchon perview soit en plastique et non en verre comme c'est le cas au Canada et USA. Impossibilité de faire parvenir le percolateur avec bouchon verre de l'autre continent vers France.
