5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect percolator for stovetop, RV or camping stove, February 1, 2011

This review is from: Chinook Timberline 6 Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Percolator (Kitchen)

Before you order, double check the listing above as this site is using the same reviews on several pages for two different styles of coffeepots from the same manufacturer. The version I own is the Chinook Timberline stainless steel pot, but there is also an aluminum version that is not nearly as well made called the Chinook Canyon. The Timberline is stainless steel and has the wood trim on the handle, hinged lid, glass dome and stainless steel basket assembly. The Canyon is an aluminum camping pot that has folding wire handles, removable lid, it is aluminum, has the plastic dome, and an aluminum basket assembly.

I prefer percolators over drip coffeemakers. My grandma never liked drip coffeemakers, and it took me many years to learn why. For starters I have never had to replace a stove top percolator because it was broken, but have owned countless expensive drip coffeemakers. Coffeemakers have carafes that break , a clock to reset, takes up counter-space, parts you can't get to to clean inside, buttons to fuss with, paper filters to replace. Mineral deposits can build up in the lines. After a few years, some drip coffeemakers start to taste acidic, but not my percolator. With a percolator you can adjust the perking time to get the exact brew strength you like. I also have an old electric percolator from the 1950's and it works great. My simple percolating pot lasts years longer, and the clean-up and maintenance is simpler. Now you can buy paper filters for percolators too, but I think that is a waste of money. For taste, I get a full bodied dark coffee, and I do not need to buy the high dollar coffee I used to buy to get the same robust flavor. My opinion anyway.

The version I bought is the 6 cup but they do sell other sizes on this page. I have had it for about 14 years before I ran into it here. It still looks new and still makes a great cup of coffee. This pot is very sturdy, high quality 18/8 stainless steel with a strong handle. The lid has a hinge so that when you pour a cup the lid does not fall out. It has a water mark to help you measure out water. If you take the basket out you can use it to heat water for tea and hot chocolate as well. This model has a real glass dome, and some folks can break them. They sell replacements in 2 sizes at Amazon.com for less than a pack of paper filters. Do not use this on a fire, the handle may get damaged just like a plastic or rubber handle would. And use a potholder, like any pan or pot, it can get hot.

TIPS: Wet the inside of the basket before you put grounds in, to help prevent grounds from going through the holes. Use a medium ground blend, if you use a fine blend you may need to use a paper filter inside the basket. Don't cram the coffee grounds down into the basket either. Some folks like to heat the water good and hot, and then put the basket in, I don't as that is a good way to get burned.

RECOMMENDATION: Great pot, my favorite for home use. I love percolators and have reviewed over a dozen here, and have a Listmania called "Camp Coffee Pot Percolator Including Campfire Coffeepot".

3.0 out of 5 stars not all stainless steel??, July 26, 2010

This makes good coffee, and functions well as a percolator - but I spent a lot more on it compared to other brands because it said stainless steel. I don't believe the basket inside is stainless steel - so what's the point? The button on top is plastic also. It works, but if you're after very high quality materials this might not be the one for you. The handle is clad in wood which adds a nice rustic touch and makes it easier to handle off the stove which is one good feature.
