You're talking to folks who *boil* their coffee! :B

We're using these:



Excellent coffee.
Can imagine anything easier.

I still love a good percolator. But this one fits the bill for quicker coffee in the morning before we head out somewhere

I don't have a quiet enough Gen to fire it up just for coffee! Haha

We have used a good old-fashioned Pyrex percolator for well over 30 years now. I forgot to put it in the cupboard one time and had the pot break when it fell off the stove while we were on the road. The insides did not break, if you can believe that. I found a replacement pot without the guts at a second hand store for $15 and things were good once again.

I used that same unit for a year or so tent camping. Finally I left it on the propane burner too long and it melted down the bakelite and couldn't use it any more haha...

I have to agree it sure did make good coffee like the both of us liked.

Right now my backup coffee maker is the plain ole coleman peculator. We use the CUISINART grind and brew coffee maker to brew up our fresh ground bean coffee for the day.


Every morning at 8AM we will be using our 2KW generator to re-charge our battery banks using the PD9260C on-board converter/charger unit. It only takes five minutes time to grind and brew fresh ground bean coffee using the Cuisinart DGB-600BC. This brews up into a thermos carafe and then completely powers off...

Nope nope nope....it only makes 10 cups....~!!!!!!!!!! We have a 20 cup perculator.......I put it on, take it out to the camp stove when done and you won't believe all the "friends" we make :) :) :) Seriously, I NEED a 20 cupper!!!!!

and 2gypsies.....I agree!!!! Our friends would start their $#@#$@ generator at 6:00 every morning so SHE could have coffee out of her coffeemaker.....!!!!!! Thank goodness he finally divorced her!!!!

We've always used a stovetop perculator. It makes excellent coffee. Can't understand why some folks turn on the generator to plug in their coffeepot... or toaster. Frying pan toast is awesome!
