Best Of

One cup a day? Impressive, I need at least two, or three, or...

So, my college-age son was home last week, and saw my camping percolator coffee pot.

Son: "You take a tea pot camping?"

Me: "That's my coffee pot."

Son: "How?"

Me: "Before drip coffee pots, this was the way to make your cup of joe."

Son: "Whoa. That's really cool."

Me: "Design a better coffee system for camping, and you'll make millions!"

Son: "Nah, I want to try making coffee that way. That's soooo cool."

Being new to the whole T@G experience, I was delighted to discover that on a cold morning you could start your coffee on the stove, crawl back into bed, and hear when it began perking, if it wasn't too loud outside.

Before buying a pot, I did try a number of the instant coffee brands. None of them are any better than what my great aunt served in the 70's, with the exception of the Starbuck Via. I also tried buying a few of the canned/bottled coffees and then heating them. Not bad, but not that good.

IMHO, whether it's one cup or multiple, that cup is worth the effort.

LOL I looked it up also! https://www.amazon.com/Bellman-Stove-Espresso-Cappuccino-Maker/dp/B000FDN1LM

Awsome coffee maker. I’m a lazy guy. Boil some water and add a Starbucks Via Instant Coffee packet in the mug. They are quite good and come in many flavors.

I used to be a percolator girl, but it really took FOREVER to get done and coffee is just not something I'm willing to wait forever for. I upgraded to the REI French press and I LOVE it. And it's a thermal carafe, so if I'm up before hubby, the coffee stays hot for him.
