Amazon.com Review

Create coffee with rich and robust flavor miles away from the nearest espresso shop with this lightweight percolator from Nesco Open Country. This attractive percolator performs admirably, bubbling over a campfire or home stove and brews up to 5 cups of coffee for individuals or a small family. Constructed in durable aluminum, the rust- and dent-resistant percolator transfers warmth from heat source to contents in minutes. The percolator features an innovative, wire handle that folds in for compact storage while staying cool to the touch when hot coffee brews. A removable pump equipped with a tube assembly basket allows users to clean out grinds with ease. For care, clean the percolator with a mild detergent, making sure to regularly wipe soot residue off the exterior. The percolator measures 6-1/2 by 5-1/4 by 5 inches, and weighs 8 ounces. --Jessica Reuling

Disappointed - L. COOKE-PETTA, Mar 30, 2008

I was disappointed in this item. It is more like a camping kettle than something you use at home. Guess I should have taken more notice of the title. Anyway, it has been sent to the RV and I got a better one from Kmart for hubby to use in the house.

Good for occasional use - R. Wyatt, Jul 09, 2007

Took it camping for a few days. Worked well for something that will only get used once in a while. Heats up quickly, to include the handles. They are extremely hot by the time the coffee is ready. One great thing is that the pot keeps the coffee hot for a long time after you take it off the heat. We are satisfied with the purpose.

It makes coffee - log_jammin, Mar 15, 2007

Pretty cool. It's fairly sturdy and it made as decent a cup of coffee as you can get from a percolator.

But just in case anyone doesn't know this already, a "wire handle that folds in for compact storage" does not stay "cool to the touch" when those handles are connected to an aluminum container holding boiling water.

Aluminum and wire has a tendency to transfer heat.

Good Little Camping Aide - C. Fletcher, Jul 15, 2006

We bought this for a quick weekend trip. It's very handy and delivers in terms of durability over an open flame. It's a bit messy in terms of spurting water during the brewing process, so I wouldn't recommend it for the stove. All around - worth the $10.
