Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

The coffee perk made a great cup of coffee for us each morning. Having a the clear top assured us when the coffee was the color we were looking for. It was durable, reliable and light weight. Easy to clean, and great for heating up other liquids. For the money, I would even pay the few extra bucks and get the 12-cup version. [...]

Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

I was looking for a Perk Coffee Pot that would yield no more than 2-4 cups of coffee. [...] I gave this one a try and really like and highly recommend it! I would say it's really about a 3-Cupper for people who drink coffee in larger mugs. It easy easy to use and easy to clean. I used it on a cooking grate above direct flame. It did not warp or get damaged from the direct heat. Seems like a light-weight, but it really stepped up to the challenge and succeeded in my book.

Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

I read the comments before picking this little pot up and it performed wonderfully. Just keep an eye on the pot and when it starts to boil dail down the heat a bit and it's just fine. I use maxwell house coffee packets that come wrapped in a filter and one packet made a perfect pot of coffee with zero mess.

Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

I was looking for an easy way to make some coffee while on the trail without bringing too much equipment. This perc works decently, but it gets a bit tedious to clean while on the trail due to lack of water.

As a coffee enthusiast, let me tell you that this will not give you the best coffee for your buck. What I did was to take the stem and basket out so that it's just a pot. This little guy does a great job as a small pot to boil a decent amount of coffee. I bought the GSI ultra light Java Drip and stuck it inside the pot. Now, when I go camping all I have to worry about cleaning is my cup and a quick rinse of the filter.

The java drip makes a much better brew. I add 4 hefty spoonfuls of coffee and that seems to do the trick!

I'm not saying that this perc won't do the job, but you're better off with the Java Drip by GSI.

(This perc got 4 stars because of its abilities as light weight pot).

Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

Great pot. I used a regular sized filter with a hole in the middle to fit inside the coffee basket. I then wrapped the sides of the filter down on top of the coffee to keep it all in place. Worked great and our camping neighbors were jealous of our freshly made coffee every morning. I also used this pot to make sweet tea - awesome little pot.

Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

I use this little pot for coffee of course and it is a great perk. But I also use this as my main and only pot. @ only 8oz with the perk insert its an amazingly light weight pot not to mention the price. WOW! other pots that compare are [$]great buy if you ask me.

Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

If you drink coffee, why wouldn't you carry this? It is a little bulky, but, to me, it's well worth the small sacrifice to fit this in your pack. The only drawback that I have found is that you can't find paper filters to fit it (at least not in Louisiana). so I have to make my own from home coffee filters. Believe me, when you wake up on a cold morning, a good cup of coffee makes any hassle more than well worth it.

Does leak at the rivets.

Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

I bought this product to use as a backpacking pot, not a coffee pot (removal of the insides). Before buying this item I read the reviews; only one review stated the pot leaked at the rivets so I thought maybe "their" pot was defective. Unfortunately, the pot I bought leaked at the rivets too. Unless I can figure a way to correct this issue, I will be returning the pot. This would make a great backpacking pot as it will hold 4 cups of water comfortably (not 5 cups); is lightweight, and has a pouring indentation in the pot (not a separate spout which adds more weight). The weight of the pot and lid only is 6.6 ounces. My yes recommendation of this pot is only if you can figure out how to stop the rivets from leaking. :-)

Comments about Open Country 2-5 Cup Coffee Perk:

It leaked the first time that I fired it up. The can has rivets that hold the handle on. It leaked out of the rivets. Poor design. I like to purchase American made products and this was a let down. I will be returning it promptly.
