Comments about REI Campware Percolator - 9 Cup:

Rec'd this percolator as a gift. Without fail it boils over through the lid no matter how little or much coffee is used or little or much water is used. Use has been on a home gas range.
Have a similar style percolator (COPCO) that works beautifully.

Comments about REI Campware Percolator - 9 Cup:

I bought both this size and the large at the same time.. materials and construction are great but I agree with the other review in that no matter the amount of water this pot will boil over and make a mess EVERY time.. VERY poorly designed top...
it appears to be the same GSI pot but now under the REI brand name... you'll regret buying this !!!

Comments about REI Campware Percolator - 9 Cup:

Bought this coffee pot last summer, and it worked well. No boil over if you let it heat up slowly. However, started to notice glass chips around the percolator top, and then on this last trip, the glass broke right in half. Not banged of stressed, just cracked. For the price, definitely thought the pot should last more than one season.

Comments about REI Campware Percolator - 9 Cup:

Bad review gave me pause, but after looking at the pot in the store I brought it home. After several uses now both at home and camping I am very glad I bought it. Absolutely NO boil overs! Key is to turn flame down as low as possible after perk starts... but have seen some propane stoves that don't get very low. One thing though... when done perking, give basket a minute to drain before pouring that first cup or it may dump hot coffee on your toes.

Used once a day on indoor range. Glass percolator button broke in half after 4 months. Otherwise, good quality construction. Would have thought ok for every day use.

My husband and I are returning to camping after years away. We both grew up pre drip coffee makers and the look and smell of a percolator of coffee on the campstove was not only eye opening but a source of comfort and nastalgia for us both

Comments about REI Campware Percolator - 9 Cup:

I've made many pots of coffee in this percolator and I haven't had any problems with boil over since the first time that I used it. The instructions clearly state that the temp should be reduced on the burner once the pot has started perking. I didn't pay close enough attention to the pot the first time that I used it and it boiled over. However, since then I've always followed the instructions and limited the amount of water to right at the start of the spout, and I haven't had a problem with boil over since.

I can't give the pot a 5 star rating because I think that it should only be labeled as an 8cup pot instead of a 9cup pot. I've only been able to successfully make coffee in the pot if I limited the level to about 8cups instead of going all the way to the 9 cup mark.

Also, since the pot is made out of stainless steel it takes a while to heat up, and once it does heat up, it takes a while to cool down. This could be the issue with some of the other reviewers. You can't go off and leave this pot once the water gets near the point where it starts to perk, or it will go badly.

Comments about REI Campware Percolator - 9 Cup:

I almost didn't buy it because some reviewers had boiling over issues. I bought it last week and I haven't had that problem. I start moderate heat and turn it way down when it starts perculating. (Mad bubbling quickly drops to intermittent bubbles).
I let it perc for 20+ minutes because I like a stronger brew. The coffee is hotter than my expensive coffee maker. The strainer is metal instead of the plastic ones they now sell for the same price. I love it and my guests rave about it. Prefer this stainless to enamel ware-which can chip. Should do just as well on a camp fire.
Wishing you all a great brew!
