" ... If you are looking for an "old time" coffee maker, this one fits the bill. ... I bought this one for emergency situations as it can be used over an open fire, but have found that the coffee tastes much better brewed in this . ... After a little practice to get the water-coffee portions the way that I like it, it's my go-to for weekends when I have more time. ... "
" ... Makes great coffee ... "
" ... Hot coffee when camping is a blessing! ... "
" ... This little thing works perfect for making coffee when out camping. ... "
" ... Best campsite coffee pot I've ever had. ... "
" ... Made some good coffee! ... "
" ... Our favorite way to make coffee while camping! ... It percolates a good, strong coffee - yum ... "
" ... If you really like this style of pot, and it has to be an 8-cupper, I would say that this GSI coffee pot is worth the risk . ... "

" ... Returned, lid too flimsy. ... "
" ... The interior grounds basket is so cheaply made and thin, I can practically see through it when held up to the light. ... It water stem arrived bent and I haven't even used it yet. ... "
" ... It's made cheaply, the lid is held on by a metal band, the basket doesn't seal in any way so when you pour your coffee there's a good chance you're going to get grounds in your mug. ... "
" ... As other have said the hardware that holds the lid on is extremely flimsy and destined to break with normal use. ... If this thing was $10 it would be fine but at this price point I found the build quality unacceptable. ... "
" ... Arrived with a bent stem, not from mishandling but manufacturing. ... "
" ... Cheap made with no way to lock the lid on the grounds. ... "
" ... Very thin metal, won't set flat on glasstop stoves, thinnest aluminum hinge makes for floppy top, plastic bubbler piece came off after five uses. ... "
" ... Lid developed rust after about 30 days. ... "

" ... It had a chip off the top and the top didn’t even fit properly. ... "
" ... The little metal clip that held the lid came apart after the third use. ... "
" ... The spout had a chip and the lid attached was loose and fell off when the coffee was poured , the piece that attached from the kettle to the top was loose ... "
" ... It looked great but the lid fit poorly and caused for the coffee to boil out all over. ... "
" ... the clear plastic percolating viewing bubble doesn't even stay on. ... Right out of the box, The plastic perk viewer does not fit or stay on because the hole is too big. ... The link that holds the lid to the handle is flimsy aluminum and does not sit flush on the handle because the handle was manufacture crooked thus making the lid open at a wired 25 degree angle when opened, and does not sit tightly on the pot when closed. ... "
" ... Cheap hinge falls right off. ... "

" ... Could improve the hinge that holds the lid to the handel. ... "
" ... The interior grounds basket is so cheaply made and thin, I can practically see through it when held up to the light. ... The areas where the water stem is welded to the base of the interior basket is so shottie, I am figuring that it won't even withstand the heat of the water or the weight of the coffee grounds. ... "
