Farberware Yosemite 8-Cup
Score: 76/100
Coletti Bozeman
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Coletti Bozeman is a heavy-duty stainless-steel percolator with a glass dome and rosewood handle, designed for campfire, stovetop and select induction use. Its advertised 9-cup capacity is misleading and the unit is relatively heavy, which may deter ultralight backpackers. Ideal for campers and small groups who value durability and visual brewing control.
The Farberware 50124 is an 8-cup stainless-steel stovetop percolator that works on gas, electric and solid-plate burners and offers a permanent filter. It cannot be used on induction hobs and its large size can be cumbersome for small kitchens. Best for campers and families needing a robust, versatile percolator.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the Farberware 50124 for its accurate 3-8 cup capacity, durable polished stainless-steel construction, and quick one-cup-per-minute brew rate. They value its versatility across gas, electric, and solid-plate stovetops and the lifetime warranty, while noting the drawback of no induction support and the need to hand-wash the knob and spring.
Everyday users consistently praise the percolator's solid stainless-steel build, reliable capacity, and ease of cleaning, especially for camping and family use. Recurring criticisms focus on its incompatibility with induction cooktops and its relatively large footprint, which can be inconvenient for solo drinkers or limited storage spaces.
“not a true 9-cup, overflows at 6+ cups with grinds.”
“Strong, rich coffee rivaling grandparents' style.”
Professional reviewers commend the Coletti Bozeman for its heavy-duty stainless steel, toxin-free build, and glass dome that together deliver bold, pure-flavored coffee. They also highlight its excellent campfire stability thanks to a wide flat base, but note the significant shortcoming that the advertised 9-cup capacity is misleading.
Everyday users consistently praise the percolator's ability to produce strong, rich coffee and its rugged, heat-resistant construction that stands up to camping conditions. Common praise focuses on easy cleaning and compact nesting, while recurring complaints center on the overstated 9-cup capacity and the need to watch percolation speed at higher elevations.
