Question about percolator style coffee pots

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Spike, my dad still uses one just like that. Here's a link to Revere-Ware on it/instructions..

Hey, thanks for that link - Now I know how to use it!

Should be a good addition to the camping bag - I was really getting tired of the Camp style pot and Percolators. Maybe I just wasn't using them right, but there were too many grounds to pick out of my teeth, so we'll see how this new one goes...

HA! ya you're a smart guy, but a little info always helps..

No, I wasn't kidding - I wasn't sure whether the strainer-top thingy went on top of the grounds or under - Now I know it's to hold 'em down!

Thanks again!

No worries Spike. I like my Bialetti 6 cup better than anything for camping though.

Yeah, I used one of those at home for 20 years, until the gasket fell apart, then I just got lazy and bought a Mr. Coffee drip. These days, I ain't into taste so much, anymore; it's just coffee as a caffeine delivery system.

Must be all those packs of filter-less Camels and Vodka rocks...
