COLETTI Bozeman 12-Cup Percolator — No-Plastic Camp Coffee Pot

Crew coffee in one pot. COLETTI Bozeman 12-cup stainless steel percolator with a glass view top and no aluminum or plastic parts. COLETTI notes 12 cups is about 5 mugs.

Why we pick this

When the whole camp wants coffee at once on a cold morning, this goes on the propane burner and does it in one go. There’s no plastic to melt, and stainless survives being knocked off the table. Where your fest allows fire rings, it sits right on the grate.

• Festival fit: Crew camps with a 2-burner stove or a fire ring.
• Heads up: 12 percolator cups is about 5 real mugs. Use coarse-ground coffee or you'll be chewing grounds.
• Lived-in tip: Pull it off the heat once the color in the glass top looks right. Over-percolating makes it bitter.
• Late-fall note: Once the coffee’s poured, refill it with water and leave it on low. That’s hot water for cocoa, oatmeal and warm dishwater all morning.
