Just brewed my first two pots of coffee with this wonderful coffee maker!! I love this thing and I'm so happy I bought it. My nickname on all camping trips is "The Breakfast Guy" and it is something I Love to do for my friends. I bought this coffee maker for several reasons:
1) I wanted to free up a burner normally devoted to making boiling water - you can never have enough burners
2) Loved the idea of being able to get the coffee going while I'm setting up for the rest of breakfast. Imagine standing over a Melitta filter waiting for the hot water to go through the coffee grounds drip by drip, while you still have the rest of the breakfast to prepare? Fill the coffee grounds, pour in the water, turn on the burner and come back in 15 minutes!!!
The people complaining about it taking too long are coffee addicts - I'm not sitting by the coffee maker waiting for that first cup - I've got things to do!!! Also I did try the first cup feature and it works as expected. Like all of my home coffee makers, I may remove all of those parts. It's just something else that can go wrong when you're not looking. Again, I'm not waiting for that first cup to become functional!! Truth is, when you use the first cup feature, it's a REALLY REALLY strong cup of coffee. I like the coffee from a full pot - the flavor needs to be averaged from when the grounds first get wet to when they are drenched - the first cup is just too strong!!
I would not use the burner to keep the coffee warm, although you can. It's a waste of precious propane. My coffee usually goes straight into a big
Thermos 51 Ounce Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Carafe
- I serve a big group and a 10 cup pot won't cut it. What I'm planning to do is pour the boiled water that I use to preheat the Thermos carafe (recommended to extend the hot coffee time), into the coffee maker for the 2nd pot. That should speed up the brew time!!
Also be warned, this coffee maker is carefully crafted sheet metal surrounding a 4500 BTU propane burner. EVERYTHING under the coffee pot (front and back) is extremely HOT!!!! Have a great cup of coffee in the great outdoors!!

The only con was the glass carafe it came with, but I guess that so they can get you to buy the metal one... which I did. Love it!

Don't go camping without it
By Eighties on July 8, 2017
Much better than the previous camping Coleman coffee maker we had. We had the one that sits on top of the grill previously which was a constant battle not to melt the plastic filter holder flame high or low.. No worries with this one. Turn on the propane, hit the button, 20 minutes later amazing coffee.Brews much faster than the grill top. The unit itself gets a little hot so don't sit your marshmallows next to it.Well worth the investment. Don't go camping without it.By Eighties on July 8, 2017

I haven’t brewed coffee with this yet, but I did the initial “clean out” pot of greasy water.
1: The unit brewed the entire pot in 21 minutes (80 degree outdoor temperature).
2: The unit didn’t hold the whole 10 cups, but it wasn’t 4 cups short as others have indicated. I fount it about 1/2-3/4 of a cup short.
3: the unit didn’t seem to “lose” and water during the brew, as others have indicated. The brewed pot had just under the 10 cup mark after it was finished (picture attached of pot after the fresh water brew).
I will update the review once I have had a few pots of actual coffee through it.

Well built

I just got this to replace the other Coleman coffee maker that needs to be placed on a burner. That coffee maker is painfully slow and had begun to fail due to lots of use.By Jim N on August 30, 2018
