Breakin in a new camper pot... ;0)

Stainless steel preferred...
Not big on aluminum pots or cookware..meself..

Give me a Keurig for coffee. Easy, no mess, no fuss, quick, good cup of coffee.

Got a very similar one for tent camping and I do like it. But the wife prefers glamping and electricity is much quicker and I'm a grouch before that first cup LOL

Very similar to the one we use in the camper. When she starts to boil (bubble), lower heat and perk for 8 minutes and then let rest for 5 minutes before pouring. Longest damn 5 minutes to live through!!! We’ve been using Aldi German dark roast for the last year and it’s just a good rich coffee and don’t break da bank. I’m not a fan of Starbucks, but perking their Pikes Place roast does a great job. Cafe Bustelo is also our goto for many years. Having a cup right now.
Slammer!!!

When I was a kid a percolater was our humidifier for when we had chest congestion. My mother would set it by the bed and I remember that sound very well.

The thing I liked about "perking" in the home or on the campsite, was the aroma, for sure. I have not camped for years and the camp pot is RIP in a container somewhere in my storage unit. The home percolator got sold in a garage sale 30 years ago. A mister coffee took over, along with a French press for special occasions. Then a Keurig maker. Then I went coffee "foo foo" with buying whole beans, buying a burr grinder, along pour over equipment, still have the French press, and bought an aeropress.
Nowadays, most mornings I do pour over, and on quick needs we still use the Keurig.

.... coffee's coffee ... lets' not overthink this.  

I've bored you with this before, but what the hey... ??   

A restaurant in Brandon MB promoted their coffee as "better than Seattle's best" [dunno if that was a brand or just their slogan].   Anyhow I ordered one with my breakfast ... but it was undrinkable. [Fwiw, I've been accused of having a cast iron stomach, so you know something were't right!!]

When the waitress made her obligatory "How's everything so far?" I told her the coffee couldn't be better than Seattle's best as it wasn't even Brandon's best.  Then I had to explain my attempt at "funny."    

Her response?  [insert drum roll here] ... "I can offer you another cup." 

Me, while thinking a slightly more colorful (?) response: "No thanks, I'll manage with the water." 

I don't like waiting for anything.
I like my cheap Mr. Coffee brewer.
If I have to get up early like for my shuttle trips to Boston,I make a pot the night before and microwave a cup of that in the morning while the pot reheats.

Sometimes there's still a cup left in the carafe from the previous morning.I have no problem microwaving that,either.

After using a Keurig for the first time at our Huntington House at the Jamaica Plain hospital campus I'm leaning toward one of those.
I especially like the idea of being able to choose different kinds of coffee for each cup.
They're very quick.

This works fer me, although the percolator used to be my go-to,, love the smell.

Good to the last drop.

The best perked coffee I remember was from a Pyrex percolator I rescued. It was all glass, so I would hold it up to the light and judge how strong by the coffee's opacity. It made some good coffee.
Now I make coffee mostly one cup at a time, pour-over/drip style, with a small Melita cone filter. My wife drinks de-caf mostly, so we usually make our own coffee during the day, hence the single-cup method.

Along with drinking non-alcoholic beer, I also drink instant coffee. Nescafe, to be specific.

Starbucks is based in Seattle so it could be a reference to them?

We camp monthly and whoever wakes up first it is their duty to get the coffee perking on the double burner. If you fill it with water the night before its one less thing to fumble with in the morn.

Seattle’s Best is a separate brand

my granny made some of the best coffee on her wood stove in a old old perculator. she always put a dab of salt in it.

My Grandmother made her coffee in a saucepan on the stove.
She poured it through a hand-held strainer.
