COFFEE POT ?

I got plenty of lead in my body when I got shot.

Smaller pot. Percolators in particular are designed to do full pots, much less than that they might "burn" the coffee. For small volumes of coffee, I prefer drip or filter solutions. While they might use more coffee because it is only one time through, the coffee is never reheated to boiling and the result is consistent. My wife liked Melita, brother in law likes French press.

A 24-hour pee collection test is good to do also.

You can hold it for 24 hours??? :B

Was the most difficult test I've ever taken... :W

Is the pot steel or aluminum?

If steel, go guy a handful of magnets and experiment with sticking them around the OUTSIDE until it's well balanced and of the weight you desire. Rare Earth Magnets are really strong.

If aluminum you could super glue some small decorative metal pieces to the outside. This might be a great way,

Personalize it and make it very unique and a conversation piece.

Magnets and heat don't always mix effectively; permanent magnets can be demagnetized by heat. The heat performance of rare earth magnets varies with their composition and grade, but some can start to have permanent effects above 80 C, below coffee making temperatures and well below gas burner temperatures.

Metals also lose their magnetic attraction quite suddenly above some temperature (the Curie point), but aren't likely to get anywhere near that making coffee. This property has some interesting applications for temperature control, in fact; typical inexpensive rice cookers know when to shut off based on the phenomenon, detecting the temperature rise when the excess water has boiled away. Metcal soldering irons also used a very clever application of the effect to maintain the proper temperature effectively and permanent calibration.

Just dont drink coffee easy cheap fix:B

I will try stainless. Thanks. Sure a smaller pot would be alright but storage really is that limited in my rig. Just seems a larger pot should do smaller amounts. If the neck of the percolator was longer it would rest on the top. Problem solved. Poor engineering IMHO Thanks again

If you do this, be careful which model you buy. I've read that some Keurigs would only take genuine K cups, and there goes the fresh grind.

I was browsing thru my Drs. copy of Coffee Affectionado IIRC and it didn't like Keurigs, the way they made coffee, not hot enough water and a couple of other complaints. I'd get one but you can't get half/caf pods, but could fill my own but this post scares me. how can you tell?

My Cuisinart grind and brew coffee maker is only drawing power for about five minutes then it pours up into a thermos carafe that keeps the coffee hot for a pretty long period of time...

We camp alot off grid using the batteries so having a short time using power is important for us....

I have never looked into those K-CUPS coffee makers but they sure are popular in the various stores like WALMART... Since we have our favorite fresh ground bean coffee taste I guess we could grind our coffee beans using the MR COFFEE grinder and get to use the K-CUPs for almost instant coffee when we want it...

Probably should look into those since they seem to every where you look in the various stores.

My Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffee maker does just fine for us camping off grid like we do...
