RE: Coleman (Gas) Drip Coffee Maker

[MtnCamper]

 
Anyone bought one and tried it yet. I seen one at Wallyworld yesterday ($37). It s got a metal base and goes directly on the stove top. Heats the water, it rises, and drips through a filter basket. Just like a mister coffee (10 cup). Only gas (stove) powered.

 We might have to go check one out.

With a $40 retail, $37 isn t much of a discount. Walmart needs to have a better " rollback"  on this one.  
 
 Our 9-cup perc developed a leak near the spout last weekend so it s time to upgrade. If anyone finds this one available at a better price, please post it here.

I ll let you know how it works! I just ordered one today! It looks like it " should"  be a big improvement over MY perked coffee! I never quite mastered using a perculator and campfife or stove! The coffee almost always came out too strong even when mixed half coffee half milk!!!
 It must be the morning thing, I m usually a good cook!
 Anyway, it s new and I wouldn t live up to my nickname " Gadgetman"  if I didn t buy it and try it!

Finally a solution other than the French press for coffee making when dry camping. No figuring anything out, no spilling, just like the Mr. Coffee at home. In fact it works at home also. We tried out the neighbor s last night. (I get him to buy things and test them for me[]) Worked good on the home stove electric burner.

The one thing I always missed while dry camping was a good cup of coffee each morning.  I must admit that I am spoiled, even at home I use [link=http://www.dunkindonuts.com/]Dunkin Donuts coffee[/link].  While camping I have been using coffee bags which are available from Folgers or Maxwell House.  While they produce an OK cup of coffee, it is just not the flavor I have come to expect each morning.
 
 So, when Coleman [link=http://www.coleman.com/coleman/ColemanCom/newsrelease.asp?releasenum=201]issued a press release[/link] announcing a true drip coffeemaker that used any camping stove as it s heat source I was interested.  A quick trip to Wal-Mart and I was now the proud owner of one of these unique devices.
 
 The unit appears to be very well made.  Obviously the base area of the unit is metal as it sits over the camp stove fire.  The water reservoir is made of heavy plastic (at first I thought it was metal too) with a glass coffee carafe.  I wonder if the unit is not manufactured by Mr. Coffee as the carafe is almost an exact duplicate from the one in the kitchen.  Additionally the unit had a trial size bag of Mr. Coffee coffee inside when purchased.
 
 Well, I d like to tell you how it works, but while the pop up is comfortably sitting in the garage - there is a 2 foot pile of snow in front of that garage door.  
 
 So, when we make the first trip of the year I ll let you all know what I think of it.

Hey Tim,
 
 In addition to Coleman, Sunbeam owns Mr. Coffee! They ve included a section, listing the big name companies they own, on the Coleman.com site. Guess the new coffeemaker IS a Mr. Coffee afterall!
 
 Went to our local Walmart today to see the thing. Of course, the idiots there didn t know where it was and after an hour of searching I just left empty handed. These people stand next to things and tell you they don t know where they re located.
 
 Plus, Walmart prices aren t always the best.  Maybe the pots will soon show up at Kmart or Target where the employees have 1/2 a brain cell and they give you a discount off the retail price.

Our local Wally world didn t have it when i checked so I went on line to Coleman and if there are no Coleman suppliers who stock it near you they let you order it on-line for $38.00 plus shipping.
 Of course two days after I did that, Wally world either found them or got them in and on the shelf!!!

Hi all, me again! I was just at our local BJ s Wholesale Club and saw this coffeemaker for $19.99!!! I almost bought one, even though Fedex tracking says the one I ordered is due here on Friday!!! I paid $20.00 something more than that for it!
 I almost bought a couple for camping friends at that price!

DW picked one up for us at BJ s this morning for $29.  We looked on Ebay and saw where people having been buying them for >$50 plus shipping!  Guess some enterprising BJ shoppers have been scooping them up and almost doubling their money.
