Why we love it
If the coffee you want at camp is the coffee from your kitchen, this is the machine that makes it there. It's an ordinary drip brewer, a basket, a filter and a ten-cup glass carafe, heated by a 4,500 BTU propane burner instead of an element, so there's nothing to learn and the pot tastes like home. Coleman puts ten cups at about 18 minutes and a 16.4 oz cylinder at up to 4.4 hours of burn, and its regulator is built to hold the heat steady in cold weather, at altitude and as the cylinder runs low. The push-button igniter means no matches. It's the heaviest and dearest way to make camp coffee here, and the one for a group that wants a real pot.
Pros
- Drip coffee like home, ten cups at a time
- Runs on a standard 16.4 oz propane cylinder, up to 4.4 hours per cylinder per Coleman
- Push-button ignition, no matches
- Regulator holds the heat in cold weather and at altitude, per Coleman
Cons
- About 18 minutes for a pot, slower than a kitchen machine
- Heavy at about 9.6 lb, and bulky to pack
- Glass carafe needs protecting in the car
- Propane cylinders sold separately
