Presto 02822
Score: 77/100
GSI Outdoors Percolator
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Presto 02822 is a compact electric 6-cup percolator with stainless-steel construction, automatic keep-warm, and a brew-completion signal light. Its limited capacity and risk of overflow on larger batches are trade-offs. Great for small households or RV owners wanting quick electric percolation.
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.
