How to Make Camping Coffee Percolator Pot

  1. Fill your percolator pot with 4 cups (950ml) of fresh, cold water to the bottom of the spout.
  2. Carefully poke a small hole in the center of a paper coffee filter using a toothpick or the percolator's center post. Gently push the filter into the percolator basket.
  3. Add 6 tablespoons (40g) of coarsely ground coffee beans to the filter basket. If using whole beans, grind them coarsely before adding.
  4. Place the percolator pot on your camp stove and heat over high heat. Watch closely for the water to begin to perk (this can vary based on your stove).
  5. Once the water begins to perk, maintain a steady, gentle perking, this typically takes 10-15 minutes on high heat. Adjust heat as necessary.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low once the coffee starts perking consistently. The coffee should perk approximately every 2-3 seconds.
  7. Continue percolating for an additional 10-15 minutes, depending on your desired coffee strength. The longer it percolates, the stronger the brew.
  8. Once finished, carefully remove the percolator from the heat. Allow the coffee to settle slightly before pouring and enjoying.
  9. Pour your freshly brewed campfire coffee into mugs and savor the delightful taste of this camping adventure!
