Does it ever boil over? What about the coffee grounds? Get in your coffee?
Thanks, Kim
Perhaps I should go find some directions....

Usually in a perk coffee pot there is a level for the water on the inside somewhere, different marks for each cup, usually 2 cups at a mark. This is also usually 6 oz. I make my coffee strong and add about 1 table spoon per cup, then 1 extra at the end.
If the coffee strainer top is on tight you shouldn't get many if any grounds, but if you do, they'll settle and just don't drink to the very bottom of you cup nor pour every last drop out of the pot. I use a tea strainer to I don't get any.
If your coffee to water ratio is correct and you don't overfill the pot you shouldn't get the water boiling over. If you do, lower the heat until you have a less rapid boil.
Hope all this helps, my mom was a firm believer in perked coffee. Hated drip pots. Oh, if running off a generator there are electric percolators still available in a lot of stores.

Love my percolator, not only for the coffee, reminds me of the days when I'd wake up in the camper and dad was making his morning coffee. Miss those days!

Kuerig, when I’m have power, or feel like starting the generator, otherwise a Coleman coffee brewer.

Being a shameless geek, and coffee addict, a Keurig was one of the first accessories to go into the TT... however....
I'm becoming disappointed in the end results, and the limited range of coffees avaliable , in the little pods. The next obvious step was to grind my own, and use refillable pods, but then I realised that, if I'm going to do that, I may as well put the ground coffee in a French press.
This frees up the storage space that the bulky Keurig occupied, and means I'm not getting somebody else's idea of the "right brew", I can make it as heavy or as light as I want, I can play with roasts and grinds and soak times, just like the Junior Mad Scientist, that I am at heart....

I use this cheap little item, I place it directly over my 24 oz mug. I like the coffee better than the coffeemaker coffee at home. It's easy to use, and easy to clean up, takes little storage space and requires no electricity. I love it.

When we had our pop up, my wife found a full size stainless steel insulated french press pot at REI. We have a 1 gal boiler (think blue enamel coffee pot) we use to heat the water and then make a full pot in the french press. Makes absolutely the best coffee for camping I've ever had.

I keep a small coffee pot in the TT to use when we have power or use the generator. I also keep some Folgers coffee singles to use when we don't have power. I've never used a press, might have to look into one of those.

We bring an electric kettle and use a french press.
On our last trip I considered bringing our automatic espresso maker from home and put it in the outside kitchen. My wife reminded me about the noise from the grinder, and the line of people that would form who all want fresh espresso!
