You can not leave the heat on the base after the coffee is brewed because it will melt the base. newfiegirl • View posts clarenville nl canada Full Member Joined: 03/18/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 03/22/04 03:03pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator keeping the coffee warm won't be a problem. I won a realy nice Irving thermos when I worked there. It really keeps hot beverages steaming hot even after 10 hrs or so. My husband went ice fishing with his dad not long ago, and he made boiling hot tea in it before he left at 8 oclock that morning. It still burnt my hand when I poured the rest out 5 oclock that evening. Dont know where to buy one though. Might try any Irving station directly. wife of newfieguy Mother of newfie wee ones beckolette • View posts Carpentersville, Il., USA Senior Member Joined: 01/26/2004 View Profile Posted: 03/22/04 03:10pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Haven't used mine yet but several other threads on the Coleman stovetop drip claim it works great, even has pause. But the one drawback is that it is slow, and you must remove it from fire as soon as it is done. Most who have it also got a thermos or a craraffe (?spelling) to keep the coffee in. I do that anyway because we used to do coffee in the little tin perk on the stove. Now I can see how strong it is instead of guessing. Whew sometimes I over cooked it and wow that stuff would melt your spoon.

You may find one at a local thrift store or?? I have one upstairs that came from my Mom's estate. I bought an electric coffee maker, but didn't think about times I'd like to save electricity when dry camping. I'll keep it instead of putting it in the donation box.

Works great over propane heat of wood fire. Try a backpacking supply store or hunting supply store. Should be able to find one for $20 maximum. Just dont let it boil over unless you like chewing grounds while drinking your coffee. Tried tieing grounds in cheesecloth and throwing them in boiling water a couple of times. Coffee was so strong you had to cut it with a knife. Had to sharpen the knife after the second cup!

It is fast and really makes a good cup. We use it when overnighting at Flying J's most of the time.
