Coleman Camping Drip Coffee Maker

Coffee hounds rejoice! You can now have genuine drip coffee, just like you do at home, while camping. Coleman's Camping Drip Coffee Maker goes right on your Coleman Camping Stove and makes fabulous drip coffee just like your electric coffee maker does in the comfort of home. You can even pause the brewing if you can't wait for the whole pot to finish, then resume brewing. True, this gadget is a little large (hence our lower design rating), but true coffee aficionados won't mind as the resulting hot cup of Joe is worth carrying the extra equipment. You can also use the coffee maker for hot water when preparing oatmeal and other hot cereals, instant soups, hot cocoa, tea and more. Like all Coleman products, this one is made with quality and functionality in mind. The steel base works with all Coleman 2 or 3 burner camping stoves. The easy-fill reservoir helps prevent spillage, as does the 10-cup decanter. You can use all popular brands of paper filters in the 8-12 cup removable swing-out filter basket and it takes just minutes to brew a delicious pot of hot, satisfying coffee. What better way to start your camping day?
