Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars

Summary

Works great. Lightweight.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • 5 cups capacity

Aluminum construction, well made.

If you want some deluxe coffee, then this works just fine. I use this for short trips like 1-2 day hikes.

The handles cool off quickly, so after you perk you can grab it with a bandanna or a bare hand shortly after the joe is brewed.

Pours without drips and runs.

Better to get a fine ground versus a percolator grind (typically pretty coarse) with this setup. Nice strong oily beans ground fine will nuke you into oblivion as the sun rises.

A hiking luxury.
