COLEMAN CAMPING COFFEEMAKER 

Yeah. OK. Here's how I make coffee. Put water in a coffee pot (or kettle if you forgot a pot). Boil just the water at high heat. When it reaches a boil turn the burner down to low to medium (just enough to keep the water boiling). Add your coffee and pull the pot off to the edge of the burner so the whole mess does not boil over onto the top of the stove. Let it boil for a couple of minutes. Turn off the burner. Add a little cold water to help settle the grounds and slide the pot to a cool burner. Put it in a cup and enjoy. Repeat as necessary. Never, NEVER, wash your coffee pot. Coffee needs to have BODY!! The best way to break in a new coffee pot is to add, to the first pot, a used sock in addition to the coffee and when done discard the sock. Or wear it after it cools.

Just add extra water at the start to get the carafe full. And you can keep the coffee warm by turning down the stove flame as low as it will go without going out. For those that melted theirs, you forgot to turn off the burner when the brewing stopped! I have owned and used mine for over ten years, when it was first introduced. It's the best camping coffee, (without resorting to a French press or vacuum pot).

I also own this Coleman Coffee Maker for about 9 yrs. I do not normally make 10 cups of coffee--more like 4-5 cups. Makes a good cup of coffee.

I have this exact set up. But I found that by putting the heat on hi then when it starts to make the coffee turn your heat back down it will continue to make the coffee at the same speed and won’t get the hole thing so hot.

Great thorough review. After years of camping and instant coffee and percolators, I'm excited about this coffee maker.

Holy Moly... RIP to us headphone users @ 2:31 lol. Thanks for the review!! I went with the Coleman 5007 Portable Propane Coffeemaker with the stainless steel carafe instead. :D

I have one for my canoe-camping. The problem with this coffe maker is the fuel it takes. If carrying fuel is not an issue for you, this item does the job. If not, a good old fashion perlocator is better.

I have a vintage peculator that has a wide bottom, not straight like most. It perks a bit faster than this unit. Personally, if I'm camping I want the taste of perc, I've had it camping since the 70s. I do bring a french press for other folks that can't handle manly coffee!

I just picked one up at the goodwill for $5, the auto drip shut off seems broke but I can make it work and look forward to using it camping next weekend

I have the other one also have a Crock-Pot that works like your coffee maker does a fantastic job thanks for sharing

Thanks Jeff for sharing your experience. I will get this coffee maker cant wait to use it!

Wow. Great video. I do have a question. How long does the pot stay hot after you turn off the gas? Thanks.

One of the problems with the camping coffee makers is using too fine of a grind of coffee. The finer the grind, like Expresso, the more the coffee absorbs the water so less gets to the pot and the brew time is longer. I have my heat between medium and low. Try timing your coffee maker at home using different grinds and see how long it actually takes for your regular coffee to brew. It might be longer than you think.☕️

Thanks for posting as I like my coffee!!!! I have bought this model plus the Coleman Stainless Carafe meant for the propane version and was given a second Stovetop Coffeemaker and sadly, I've yet to use them. Now that the weather has cooled off, I need to break out my Coleman stoves and make some coffee!!!!

I don't believe it was mention here or in the comments. When you set up to make your coffee be sure to shut the top container with your ground coffee first before you set the carafe in place. The reason is that the little device the starts/stops the coffee from flowing to the carafe needs to be in proper position or it may not allow the coffee to flow into the carafe. The coffee will fill up the container and overflow and the water and grounds will be all over the place. The reason I know?? So just remember to set the carafe in place last before brewing.

Great video. I got one of these as a present a few years ago but plan on trying it thai summer when I take the kids camping with a bunch of the family. If I can make it work ad easy as you do this will be a big hit. Thanks for sharing. Peace Love and Happiness ~ Tracey

Does this thing make the water hot, before it hits the grounds? Or is it cold brewed, then made hot in the carafe

Lost my stove just like that one last year. 20 plus old. It served well. Hopefully the new will last half as long.

that's neat....by the way I would like to see more of the trailer im very interested in that thing

Hello Jeff,. Enjoy your vids bud.

thanks for the review...

Thank you

man i want one.... that coffee maker would be soo good for a blackout!//// need a camping stove too... i already gott one with the camping stove fluid.. but i want the coleman propane one. where u just slap on the bottle

It's good for having coffee by many people. It has not been seen in my country.

Jeff, does it use #4 coffee filters?

that was pretty cool..!

Wouldn't an old fashioned percolator work just as well and be cheaper?

Please what is the name of the song! Awesome review

Have you had any problems with the materials? I have seen reviews complaining that the metal base and plastic are prone to warping and/or melting.

Beware headphone users @2:31. lol RIP ears.

Damn I thought when you were camping you cooked your coffee in a pot over a fire and filtered it with a sock..damn you guys are getting spoiled..lmao!

Wow, what a waste of money, I wouldn't buy it! I always knew the best way to make coffee is to do it the camping style! Not the lazy rich people style.
