Customer Reviews
I loved the look of this pot. That, the 14 cup feature and all of the positive reviews here were the reasons that I bought it.When it came, (the shipping was pretty fast), I took it out of the box and went right to the sink to wash it up so I could try it out. The first thing I noticed was that the stem and basket were bent up pretty badly. They were easy to straighten out owing to the fact that they are made out of really light aluminum. Too light in my opinion.I put about 12 cups of water in the pot, 1/4 cup of grounds in the basket, put the lid on and set it on the stove to brew. A short time later, the coffee appeared to be done. I turned the heat off, got a pot holder and picked the pot up from the stove.The pot was only about 10 inches above the stove and I was turning towards the table,... when the handle broke off. Guess what happened next. Yup, that's right! Gravity took over. The pot landed on the corner of the stove and then went to the floor. I was scrambling backwards as scalding hot coffee went everywhere. I'm glad my Grand kids weren't under my feet as they usually are.I have read most of the reviews that are posted here about this pot and didn't see any others that had the same problem so I am assuming my experience was a fluke but.... I asked for a refund instead of a replacement. I don't need that happening again.I gave this pot 1 star only because I evidently couldn't give it a zero.
This coffee pot makes great coffee and will be a boon when the power goes off this summer as it inevitably does in South Florida. The pot, handle and lid are well-crafted and sturdy. BUT, the stem which holds the coffee grounds basket is unbelievably flimsy. It bent completely out of shape just from hand washing. Fortunately, I was able to bend it back into the proper shape, but I'm sure after one season, we'll probably have to replace it. We own several Coleman products and this is the first one that has elements that are so poorly manufactured.
I bought this coffee pot for home use in utter disgust with drip coffee makers. Having had three different drip coffee makers stop working in one year, I decided to go with something tried and true. And while you can't set it up to turn on by itself, I will never have to replace it again. The color is beautiful. It is a snap to clean up (just throw it in the dishwasher). And, the coffee tastes so much better. I now use less than half the amount of coffee grounds needed by a drip maker and am getting more flavorful, robust coffee and no bitterness. I guess this is one thing that modern technology can't top. I will never go back to and electric coffee maker.
I was really pleased this product came on time. I was concerned the inner works (coffee holder and the stem inside is not very strong and bends easy. Also after a month of use the glass on the top cracked on the inside. leaving a small area with no glass. I need to see if they have replacement opieces
This enamel coffee percolator is a really well thought out and built item. The pot and lid is constructed of enameled steel and the stem and basket is aluminium. The perc knob is clear glass, sealed with a gasket in the lid allowing one to easily see the color of the coffee as it percs to determine when your perference of coffee strength is reached. I have used mine for years with only one very minor problem. The aluminium stem that holds the coffee grind basket got slightly bent, but I successfully bent it back into place without damage. As noted by another reviewer... these aluminium items are weak. However, what are these items designed to do, and what strength holding a basket of perking coffee grinds might be required? I bent the stem trying to stuff a small bag of coffee grinds and the bag of filters into the pot with the stem in place, for storage. That was 100% my fault, not that of the product. I quickly learned that the coffee pot is NOT for storage, but for percolating coffee. Go figure, uh?Aside from me slightly bending the perc stem, the coffee percolator has performed flawlessly and has produced quality tasting coffee. The coffee easily loads into the coffee grind basket for perc-ing. Being a 14 cup perc, it out produces other 12 cup percs. The handle is large enough for a gloved hand or a pot holder to easily fit into so as to hold/pour the coffee. The item is very easy to clean, including removing and reinstalling the glass knob and seal. Have not had a problem with chipping the enamel under normal use, which chipping can easily happen via abuse. Nor has the glass knob cracked or chipped, or any damage to the knob seal. Both the knob and seal are readily available at sporting goods stores should they need replacement.Should you be searching for a coffee percolator that produces quality coffee, ease in use (large pot handle, clear glass knob, ease in loading coffee basket), ease in clean up, ease in storage, and manufactured of quality materials that will be around for years to come... then the Coleman 14-Cup Coffee Enamelware Perolator is the unit you're looking for.A few tips: Do not fill the pot with water high enough to touch the coffee grind basket. If you do, grinds will float out of the basket and you will end up with coffee full of coffee grinds. Be sure that the water level is below the bottom of the coffee grind basket before you start to perc. For a faster made and better tasting coffee, before placing the loaded coffee basket/stem into the pot turn your stove on full bore and rapidly bring the water in the pot to a rolling boil. THEN... turn off the stove, place the loaded coffee basket/stem into the pot and turn on the stove to LOW for the perc process. Doing this quickly heats the water but will not boil over into the coffee basket getting coffee grinds in the coffee. Secondly, slightly dampen the bottom of the basket with water prior to putting in the filter paper. That way when the filter paper is placed in the basket it will immediatly stick/seal to the basket's bottom. This way the filter paper can not slip or pull up allowing grinds to get inbetween the filter paper and the basket. Should that happen, those coffee grinds will escape into the coffee.
