The Coleman 12‑Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Percolator is a rugged, stovetop‑ready percolator built from stainless steel with a transparent glass perking knob. It reliably brews 6‑10 cups of coffee, offering quick heating and good heat retention, but its advertised 12‑cup capacity and handle ergonomics are overstated.

Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers acknowledge the Coleman percolator's robust stainless‑steel construction, quick heating, and heat retention, but they collectively criticize its inaccurate capacity claim, uncomfortable handle, rattling components, and durability issues with the glass knob and spout joint, resulting in a middling overall rating.
What Users Say
Everyday users generally appreciate the percolator's durability, fast brewing, and plastic‑free design, especially for camping and group settings. However, recurring complaints about leaks, a hot handle, and the overstated 12‑cup capacity dominate the negative feedback, with many users warning others about the glass knob's fragility.
Common Complaints
Leaks at the spout joint, glass perking knob wear or breakage, handle heating up excessively, inaccurate capacity leading to weak brews, and rattling of the filter basket and stem.
