Great for electric or gas hob.Used in our touring caravan with great results.Bring to boil and turn down heat to perculateWould recommend
Mr. Alan Powis –
A hob top percolator that cycles the water over the ground coffee over and over again and so gets the very best out of the ground coffee until you turn the heat off.

Se la regalé a mi mamá y así ella prepara un café delicioso. Ademas es duradera y muy facil de lavar.

Churn boiling water over and over the grounds to extract all it’s flavor or drip some tepid water through them once? It’s no contest which is going to make the most favorable and robust cup. I use a regular 8-12 cup paper filter to keep out any fine grounds, just push it through the stem to punch a hole in the middle. It takes around 7 minutes to get perking and I let go another 10. 5 minutes would do but I like my coffee strong. The inside of the pot will stain with usage but it’s OK, it adds character to the taste.

We had a lengthy power outage and I REALLY wanted some coffee. My brilliant outdoorsy neighbor came to the rescue making coffee ion his propane camp stove with is aluminum camping coffee pot! Couldn’t wait to get one ordered. As a child my grandparents always made their coffee in this type percolator. I had totally forgotten about them. Now, next power failure I am prepared!!

Nice when you want more than one cup. I bought this for when the power goes out or if I just want more than 1-2 cups.Just wish there were premade filters. I know easy to cut a hole in one. Lol

Arrived on time with no damage. Nicely buffed. Your basic all-aluminum coffee pot. Plastic perk indicator at the top. Some scoff at plastic rather than glass, but that plastic doesn’t get as hot nor is it as likely to break if you drop it on a hard surface. Reading the reviews on here was entertaining, so I’ll try to put my two cents worth into the discussion.To begin with, a measured cup is 8 oz. That’s a normal sized «mug» of coffee. A regular coffee cup, like mammaw has in her china cabinet, is only about 6 oz. IN THE MANUAL it says «do NOT fill above the lowest row of 3 holes in the spout». Using this as a guide, I measured water into the pot just touching the lowest row of 3 holes. It held 5 1/4 «mugs» or 42 oz to reach that level. They advertise this as a 9 cup model. Adding enough water to reach the top of the lowest row of three holes required just one more ounce of water so it took 43 oz to reach the upper limit. So bottom line is you can only brew just over five 8oz mugs of coffee or you can brew just over seven 6 oz grammaw size cups of coffee. Or you can brew 9 tiny little 4.7 ounce cups of coffee.Now that we know how much the thing holds lets talk a little about how to use it. Old style regular grind (or coarser) works best in a percolator. The finer grinds are meant for drip coffee makers and espresso. I use Maxwell House original, same as my mom and her mom did in their percolators 50 years ago, mainly because I don’t want to have to pack a coffee grinder when I go camping, it’s available everywhere, and it’s not too expensive. But I’m not brand loyal so anytime I see a coarser grind available, I try them all. You’re always going to get some sediment in perked coffee. You can buy and use paper filters inside the basket to eliminate them, but doing so changes the flavor and kind of defeats the purpose. So I don’t use them at all.Using a percolator:Measure your water and add your ground coffee to the basket. You’ll have to decide how many «mugs» you want, and then you’ll have to experiment over several days to learn how much coffee to use to get it as strong as you like, according to your taste.Put it on the burner but be mindful, if you start it out on high to speed the process up, you have to be ready to turn the heat way down as soon as it starts percolating. You don’t want to boil the water in the pot, just apply enough heat to keep the bubbling going with as little «steam» as possible coming out of the spout. Too much heat will make it taste burnt. On my gas range or Coleman stove, I have to turn the flame almost all the way down to get a slow perk.Once it starts perking slow and regular, start watching your clock or set a timer for three, no more than 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the pot sit for another 3-5 minutes to allow whatever sediment is in the coffee to settle out. Now you’re ready to serve. I pour the entire pot into a thermos to keep it hot, but if you take the lid off and remove the basket and stem you can put the pot back on the stove on the lowest heat setting to keep it hot.The above advice applies to all percolators. This Primula Today model is economical, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do, aside from brewing 9 cups of coffee.

I like that this is plain and simple. Plus it totally looks like the perculator that we used in the 80s while camping. Makes great coffee.
