Paid shill

Lol definitely a paid actor. At least it’s obvious.

Sorry, I'm not a paid actor. Just a health conscious individual that likes quality cookware.

Well, I'm not paid. So for the 6 cup pot. It's very heavy duty stainless. It's not magnetic stainless, so gas or coil element electric stoves. Ours, the coffee markings are off, on the high side, so filling to the max based on the pot markings is an overfill. Don't use the markings. Measuring cup or weight measure a cup of water, a cup being 5 ounces the European standard for a cup of coffee. Yes, they state 5 ounces on their website. You aren't baking here, which is 8 ounces. It struggles to make 2 cups with the 6 cup model. 3 cups, aka 15 ounces, it's fine. Then anything in-between, including 6 cups, 30 ounces of water. We use one rounded table spoon of coffee per 5 ounces of water, 7 minutes perk on medium low, and even low. It varies by gas stove. You want the pot at simmer,with enough heat to cause a boil under that dome, with the trapped water, that the stem is attached to. So once it comes to a pot boil, reduce heat, way down. If you don't burnt coffee will be the result. Also, wetting the basket before putting coffee in cuts down on the fines falling through. If not using a paper filter. I got it for the wooden handle, glass top. It makes decent coffee, and I can't see why anyone would complain about the build, other than it's heavy.

Thanks Frank!

Kraven - great idea!

you mean cowboy coffee without the basket? Is it easy to clean afterwards using this method? I'm thinking of purchasing this one exactly for this

Thanks Christian!

Thanks Douglas!

Thanks for the note Jill. Mine too!

Coletti Coffee thanks for the reply. Looking forward to purchase and enjoying some quality joe! Thank you

David, the Bozeman does not work well on induction stoves. This is true of all 18/8 stainless steel product. 204 steel, which is considered lower quality because it rusts, is better suited for induction cooking. Cutomers who want to use the Bozeman on a induction stove need to put it on a cooking plate.

Scottish Hammer - Thanks! Let me know if you have any issues at all: josh@coletticoffee.com

There may be a gap between the basket and basket lid when assembled as mine did. The grounds will then boil out this gap into the bottom of the pot. With pot empty and assembled dry, hold down the basket lid and try to pull UP on the stem. If you can... there is a gap between the basket and basket lid. (The crimp or "ferrule" on the stem that holds the basket height is too low). Add thick stainless steel washer(s) as needed, to close this gap. The amount of grounds in the bottom of the pot will be extremely minimal. Additional option is to slightly flatten the stem where the basket sits so as when assembled, holds the basket in place as to never lose the washers you've added. I never take mine apart... ** I use no filters, and a coarse grind on my Colette hand grinder and get little to no grinds in my pot.

The top is glass.

Awesome sir. Please let us know if we can be of assistance: support@coletticoffee.com

Use coarse ground coffee and bowl shaped coffee filters with a little hole.

Florence, I am not sure I understand your question. Please contact me at josh@coletticoffee.com and I will work to resolve your issue.

with an electric percolator like my Proctor Silex from the 1960's it has a brew setting that shuts off brewing and automatically turns on the warmer.

Google cowboy coffee Kent Rollins

okay I didn't know that. Good to know, so there is no aluminum in this product not even as an alloy is that correct? Thanks@@COLETTICoffee

@@COLETTICoffee Good to know, that's okay I don't need the report. thanks for the replies I appreciate it!

It is an 'austenitic' type of stainless steel and so is not (or only very weakly) attracted by a magnet.

I vaguely remember my parents doing that. They took the insides out because my dad complained about grounds.

I have a Stanley thermos I pour the coffee in when it is finished. Coffee stays hot and fresh forever.

I love that guy.

but thats a big-ass percolator the Cowboy uses. If its just one cowboy to serve then that size he uses is overkill. But we know there are many cowboys out on the ranch so the one he shows is just right. I luv the guy too.

Minimun 3 but theres is a 6 cups version of this percolator

Immersion brewing (French press) no question. Most of these percolators are nasty by comparison but nice as easy, durable coffee devices for camping.

Any particular reason why you believe the flavor to be so different?

For me it's simply the taste. I've had both and the difference is there. Same goes for a drip maker, which is also a percolator of course. I can get superior results with a French press but it can't brew as much coffee at once and it's a pain to take camping. So each solution has its place.

If you search around you'll find all sorts of coffee snob charts and graphs and science on the actual whys. I just know if I take the Pepsi challenge I can tell which coffee was immersion brewed. I would describe it as a smother, more complete flavor. But when you're outdoors camping, the old percolator can taste might good.

Honestly after seeing how a percolator works I see it is no different [in the process] than an auto-drip maker. I prefer the French press because the taste is smoother. There is a notable difference between French and regular.

Yeeeah, that sounded weird; I had to look it up. Apparently, coffee itself contains zero cholesterol, but the oils released from the beans do contain something called cafestol which does indeed cause your body to increase cholesterol production.

not

🤣Lol!

tihzho I just bought this coffee maker...just out of curiosity, once I bring the water to a boil and it start “perking” I turn the heat down to low/medium then set my timer...is that correct?

​@MitchPR08 old post, but to other readers, yes. The higher heat is just to get the water to full boil faster, once there cut back on the heat as you say. You don't need the extra heat to get the water up the tube once boiling starts, just to maintain it at middle, middle low heat.

I searched for percolator brewing temps but couldn't find anything... are you saying that stainless steel leaches aluminum into the coffee?

@@Hiker_Mike Stainless steel leaches Aluminum??? NO!.... two different alloys all together

The increase in acids usually has a couple of effects on the body. One is lowered pH which causes the body's natural pH leveling mechanisms to pull minerals into the blood wherever they are stored in the body. Nothing alarming about this, except to say the average American already eats way too much low pH food. Two is the oxidative stresses additional acids can cause, which is the reason the body puts cholesterol into the blood to patch the "wounds" that oxidation causes in arteries. Cholesterol is a natural and essential to health, as much of the brain is made out of it and hormones are made out of it. The liver manufactures cholesterol if the body is low and the body rids itself of cholesterol if there is less need.
