This little pot kicked but. I was able to make multiple pots of coffee for the crew every day. The water heated quickly and turn down to simmer for 5-10 minutes to get the strength of coffee right. Very well built high quality titanium. Smooth texture. the handle never got hot. I only had grounds once but that's on me for to hard a boil. The only "complaint" and note is not a complaint its normal for titanium is it cools off quickly. This worked to my advantage as I could make a pot fill everyone up clean it up and make another with little to no wait once emptied. The little percolator knob is good glass because I did drop it when rinsing it several times and it held up perfectly.The coffee did not stain or leave residue a quick rinse and the pot was like brand new every time

Purchased this the moment I discovered it existed. I’d wondered why no one had made a percolator from titanium, seemed like a natural camping tool. While there are some design limitations I’ll outline, on the whole this percolator does exactly what it is designed to do and quite well.This percolator does two jobs at once. It both serves as an excellent coffee maker for two or more campers, as well as being a nice pot for boiling a decent amount of water. The components of the percolator, specifically the basket, stem, and lid, are all seamlessly constructed and perfectly fitted.Some reviewers worried that the glass viewing nob at the top might not be shatter resistant, that’s an easy fix. There are excellent manufacturers of these glass nobs, usually charging less than $10 for a set of two, and the threads for this percolator are the same as every other major manufacturer.All percolators operate off the same basic design, with hot water rising through a central tube and splashing against the glass nob viewing window before falling down onto the basket and dripping down onto the coffee grounds. The glass nob serves to show you that hot water is rising, and the current color of your brew as water recirculates. Because this is made entirely from titanium there are a few things to keep in mind.First, the lighter weight means you have to be careful with heat. A low slow burn will ensure that when your water begins to boil it isn’t violent enough to make the internal components jump. With a heavier metal like steel this usually isn’t an issue, but with titanium if you let the water boil too violently you will cause the basket with the grounds to jump and some of the grounds will escape as water overflows. If you pre-wet your grounds and let the water boil at a low steady rate, you should see no movement from the pot and you will be able to watch as your coffee reaches the correct color.The second thing to consider is that the inner grounds basket is not the same diameter as the inner wall of the main container. Most percolators have the basket sit flush inside the main pot, which ensures that nothing escapes from the basket. This just goes back to the point above about a low slow boil, doing that will alleviate any concerns.The main bail handle on top of the pot is sturdy and easily holds the pot from cooking chains. The pour handles on the side remain cool to the touch while cooking. The spout has an integrated filter, and the top of the pot is rolled to give added strength. The lid fits securely on top, and will not fall off while pouring.To summarize, to get the most out of this pot you need to wet the grounds, set the pot so that it does not get too hot while boiling, continue to apply heat while brewing but avoid any sounds of steam or hissing (too hot), and when your brew is dark enough take it off the fire and enjoy.Cleaning, like most titanium, is a breeze. Just a little clean water, soap if you like, and a. Little time in the sun to dry and you are ready to go.If I could change anything about this pot, I would make the coffee ground basket large enough to fit snugly within the top. This would alleviate any bouncing caused by a hotter boil, and would eliminate the likelihood of any significant grounds at the bottom of the pot. I would also make the transport bag a tad larger. It is a non-flexible canvas-like material that is very sturdy but a very tight fit. That is just a gripe of mine, the bag does what it is supposed to, fits the pot, and is well constructed.All in all, this makes a great pot of coffee as long as the steps above are followed. Highly recommended.

I loved this products weight and size. It is a perfect size to fill my yeti mug. It brews well. I have two complaints: the filters too does not stay closed. (But this is normal) and two (a big one) the class broke after about two weeks of use. This is disheartening, I have never has the class break on one. Just shows how much the quality has fallen over the years.

Seems well made but the basket isn’t as large as it should be for proper percolating.

Finally found a great non electric camp/home percolator. Super light weight. ..great for camping or hiking. Makes an amazing cup if you have good grinds. Looking forward to enjoying on my next adventure. A bit pricey...but it is made of titanium.
