Score: 78/100
GSI Outdoors Percolator
Score: 76/100Rankings
The GROSCHE Milano is a versatile 9-cup aluminum moka pot offering a certified safety valve and burn guard for safe brewing. It cannot be used on induction cooktops and requires hand washing. Suited for families and outdoor use where larger batches are needed.
The GSI Outdoors Enamelware Coffee Boiler is a rugged, three-ply steel pot with a kiln-hardened enamel finish, offering excellent heat distribution for up to 8 cups. Its weight and bulk make it less suitable for lightweight backpacking, though the lifetime warranty adds confidence. Best for larger camping groups or base-camp cooking where durability outweighs portability.
