Review on ☕️ Convenient Eureka! Camp Café 12 Cup Portable Camping Coffee Maker: Enjoy Refreshing Coffee Outdoors by Danielle Davis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This is a must have for Yeti owners.

So I don't see anyone mentioning this but. one hundred dollars? For real? I mean this is a nice set of metal and plastic teapots for making coffee. And there is nothing to complain about in terms of quality. But a Benjamin for it? Let me just say this is a good thing if you are a wealthy person who also camps. If you are not rich, there are better ways. I usually make my camper coffee using a Chemex and a regular camp pot on the stove. Boil the water, place the filter in the Chemex, pour the water from the jug over the coffee and into the Chemex and you have delicious coffee. I bought Chemex at a thrift store for $2. The pot I used to boil water was also from a thrift store and cost about the same. And the coffee he makes is just as good. Cons: Chemex is glass so not as strong; nothing nests; Filters are a bit harder to find. So let's get to this device. Like I said, the design is good. The top is a nice plastic, as is the #4 filter basket. The inner kettle, where you brew your coffee, has a rubber pad on the bottom, rubber-coated folding handles, and is made out of some kind of thin-coated metal. Let's say aluminum. Due to the rubber pad/heat shield, the jug does not appear to be designed for heating coffee. I think you could remove the skid, but that's impractical. The coffee will cool down fairly quickly, so serve immediately, otherwise you'll have to remove the rubber piece and place it on a heating pad. But don't melt the rubber off the handles. That's just part of the hiking experience, isn't it? The outer pot is designed to boil water and has a lip at the bottom that allows you to place it on top of a traditional one burner stove (although it's too bulky and heavy to take with you on a camping trip) or, if you prefer, then a large camping stove for the family. The water boils quickly and although I found the handle to be quite hot, I did it without gloves. This thing can brew up to 6 cups of coffee, or what the coffee industry calls 12 cups for some reason, because apparently there's a place on earth where 3 ounces is a full cup of coffee. Folks, there is nothing revolutionary here; It's a regular (but nice) coffee set slightly modified for camping use, and although I wouldn't ask $100 for this highway robbery. wait i would I would call it that. This set seems expensive to me - $60. If you just want to make good coffee while hiking, there are much cheaper options that are just as good. If you want to impress people by owning an overpriced coffee maker to keep next to your Yeti cooler, this is the ticket. (And I say that as an owner and fan of the Yeti cooler).

Pros
  • Kettle pot and carafe are made from hard-anodized aluminum, while lid and filter holder are made from food-grade, BPA-free polypropylene.
Cons
  • too dumb
