It apparently draws the heat up somehow and perks hot coffee without electricity or batteries. They look really nice- just like a reg perk, and you can get them at wal-mart for about 50 bucks or so. wife of newfieguy Mother of newfie wee ones Navy Doc • View posts Bakersfield, CA Full Member Joined: 02/28/2004 View Profile Posted: 03/22/04 12:12pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Newfiegirl, Used one in the field while serving with the marines. They work by boiling the water which collects at the top and drips down through the coffee grounds. Very simple design. But $50.00 dollars seems very high. Try Cebellas or a military surplus store. I had a cheap one that I got from the military and it worked fine. 03 Ford F350 6.0L PSD 07 Silverback 30LSTS Honda EU2000i "Things are getting harder to idiot proof since they keep making better idiots" Momma • View posts Eastern Oregon Senior Member Joined: 07/06/2003 View Profile Posted: 03/22/04 12:17pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Coleman makes that coffee maker. around here they charge only $36 at walmart, and $2 less at bi mart mitch200 • View posts Cold lake,Alberta, Canada Full Member Joined: 03/18/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 03/22/04 12:24pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator hi newfie wife, sorry cant help yah with the coffee perk, How is the weather out East?

But here in Newfoundland, the same, identical one is 59. Oh well. Im gonna get it any way. (its even more expensive at Canadian Tire) co519 • View posts Wading River, NY Full Member Joined: 04/13/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 03/22/04 01:20pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Get a basic stainless steel perculator.

We have both. The percolator when boondocking. The regular ole' coffee pot when at full hookups. ********************************************* Visit Keystone RV Camping A great website for owners of Keystone RVs. ********************************************* '03 F250 Crew Cab FX4 6.0L PSD 3.73 Reese In-Line Hitch with WD and dual cam sway Prodigy Brake Contoller '03 Keystone Sprinter 288BHS Me the Wife and our two great Kids Semper Fi future-full-timer • View posts Oceanside, CA Senior Member Joined: 09/08/2003 View Profile Posted: 03/22/04 01:27pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Got to agree with co519. I got one, Stainless Steel stove top percolator, at Wal-Mart for around $12 and love it. We use it a lot, even if we have hookups because the coffee taste better with it.

The Coleman works just like a regular Mr. Coffee, but it uses propane for heat instead of an electric burner. Mine works thoroughly excellent -- a must have for me because I rarely camp with hookups. Percolators work great too -- for me the Coleman is a bit easier is all. I got mine online at Coleman.com. Happy camping!

The only other thing I would reccommend is something to keep your coffee warm with. We purchased a insulated pump thermos dohicky off of Ebay to pour the coffee into after it's done brewing. You can't keep the coffee maker over the burner to keep the coffee warm after brewing. I heard it's slower, but I figure the coffee will be just like at home, I seem to have problem's with the percolater type coffee makers, so this will be easier for us.
