There's nothing like a hot cup of coffee on a sleepy outdoor morning, but camping French presses and drip filters can be messy and time consuming, especially if you're camping with a group.

Enter the
Coleman camping coffeemaker, which makes up to ten 6-ounce cups of coffee without requiring an electrical outlet. Instead, the
Coleman coffeemaker sits atop a
Coleman two- or three-burner camping stove, where it draws all the heat it needs to brew a delicious pot. The unit includes all the standard coffeemaker features, including a swing-out filter basket, a solid steel base, and an easy-pour decanter. The coffeemaker even offers a pause-and-serve feature, so you can interrupt the brew to pour a cup--a must for sleepy-eyed campers. The
Coleman camping coffeemaker brews a full pot in roughly 10 minutes, and can be used for tea or hot chocolate as well.
About Coleman More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him,
Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward,
Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years,
Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more.
Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come. END
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I recently purchased this coffee maker for car camping/mountain biking trips around Wisconsin. I always wished I could have coffee on the mornings that I woke up at the campsite. Percolators do not work well (in my experience) so I had basically given up until I saw one of these at a sporting goods store. I did some review checking online and all I read was good reviews on this particular model (apparently some of the earlier models had some minor issues). It really does work great! I have been using it on my old 2-burner Coleman camp stove (coleman fuel) that my dad gave me (it's probably 30 years old). Contrary to what some people have said about it taking a long time to brew, some saying as much as 45 minutes, it took me about 10 minutes to brew a pot of coffee with cold water. I just cranked up the flame to high and it only took a couple mintutes for the water to heat up enough to start making it's way up to the basket and start dripping into the pot. Makes coffee as good as your standard countertop-style coffee maker (slightly larger, maybe, because of the larger base) and practically works the same way. If you want coffee at the campsite I cannot imagine anything better than this.
