Coleman 802C709T Review by microjoe

PROS: This pot is very sturdy, paint is high quality, strong handle, lid has a lip that if installed properly should not fall out. Has a nice chrome ring at the top of the pot where the lid fits in, a spot that is vulnerable to chip in most enamel pots. This smaller model is also good for heating water for tea, hot chocolate, and dishes. I have one for that purpose, and the 14 cup model for coffee.I prefer percolators over drip coffeemakers. I have never had to replace a stove top percolator because it was broken, but have owned countless expensive drip coffeemakers. Breakable carafes, clock to reset, takes up counter-space, buttons to fuss with, filters to replace. My simple pot lasts years longer, (I have one from the 1940's), and the clean-up and maintenance is simpler.

CONS: Like a drip, there is a learning curve. This type of pot does not have a water marker for example. But there is a simple instruction sheet in the box. Next, many of the new percolator pots have strainer baskets that are really flimsy in design, including both the Coleman and the GSI brand. The real problem is the upright stem, it tilts over if you know what I mean. If they improved the basket assembly with a heavier grade aluminum, or stainless steel I think it would solve the problem. I replaced the upright stem and basket in mine with an old sturdy one from a old pot I found at a yard sale. For some weird reason, most of the manufacturers basket is the same size, no matter how big the pot is. Most stainless steel kitchen (non camp) models have a stainless basket. Last, on models with the glass dome, some folks can break them. They sell replacements in 2 sizes at Amazon.com for less than a pack of paper filters. The good news is that Coleman will mail you a replacement dome for free if you break it, email them through their web site seems to be the best way to get this done. I am guessing they would also replace the filter?

TIPS: Wet the inside of the basket before you put grounds in, to help prevent grounds from going through the holes. Use a medium ground blend. If you plan to use it on a camp fire, soap the outside of the pot and let dry for a minute before placing on the fire, to prevent soot stains. If you do it every time, it will stay looking like new.

RECOMMENDATION: Coleman also sells a 12 cup and a 14 cup in this shape, the 14 cup is my favorite and looks identical with the exception of the additional glass dome to monitor the coffee percolating. The 12 cup is Stainless Steel, and also has a dome. Their competitor GSI makes an 8 cup in red or blue.

Coleman 802C709T Review by B. Forrester "except where noted" (Tulsa, OK)

This is coated with a very hard enamel that should hold up for years in the outdoors. It can also be great for home use. The actual bin where you put the coffee is kind of thin but works. I think is was made this way to make it light as possible for transport to the campsite. It really looks great on any retro stove you may have or looks fine on a new one too. I like this product that makes coffee anywhere, over a fire or on a stove.

Coleman 802C709T Review by Southernexpress

I love this coffee percolator. I had another for over 20 years until I decided to make coffee one morning while camping but forgot to put water in it. :( Needless to say, the enamel got hot and cracked off in several places. This pot is identical in construction so I expect another 20 years out of this one. Great product! I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good camp coffee pot over some of the lesser priced pots because the double enamel coating really makes this percolator stand apart from the others.
