Lightweight for such a big pot, at 20 cups.
This is one of the biggest size percolators you can buy for stovetop or campfire use, at 20 cups. We also use a percolator outside on our firepit at home. The straight upright shape of this style makes it an easier pot to fit on the limited space of a campstove or RV stove. The company that made this mostly makes camp gear anyway, and that is also why the handles are configured this way, for accessing the pot off a fire. It is very light in weight.
I prefer the stronger darker brew I get from a percolator, and have sworn off drip coffemakers for good. No more filters to buy, it does not have to live on my counter top like a coffee machine, to clock to set, no carafe to break, durable, and very easy to clean. If by chance you ever break a filter basket, you can get replacements and Amazon.com sells replacement glass percolator tops.
If you don't like a few loose grounds, try wetting the inside of the filter basket before you put coffee in it.Now some people are afraid...
20 Cup perculator
When soldiers, serving in a remote area of Iraq, asked for a coffee pot and knowing they seldom have electricity, I began looking for a coffee pot that could be used on a stove or fire. The Army platoon has about 30 soldiers, so I searched for large coffee pot. Knowing the reputation of Amazon, and having free shipping on many items, I searched at Amazon.com. The coffee 20 perculator arrived in the APO in Iraq about nine days later and has served well. William Hanners, Retired Army
pot needs a little help
I'm a big fan of percolated coffee. It's the real deal, and puts hair on your chest, as dad used to say. So I bought this coffee pot because it looked rugged and well built. It is, except for one big prob: the plastic bubble on the top is junk. Why don't they make them with a glass screw-in top and charge the extra five bucks? Anyway, the plastic top worked loose in the first two weeks and could not be tightened. It fell off whenever the coffee pot was tipped. My solution was to buy a glass top from Amazon (sold separately) and now I am happy with it. Oh yeah, one other thing, "9 cups" means nine little tea cups, or three or four regular coffee mugs. All coffee makers advertise that way, so that was as expected.
