Enamel coffee pot

[JimN]

I like to make campfire coffee when I'm out & about and I usually prepare it in a Swedish Army Trangia, but I've got a hankering for an enamel coffee pot. The standard search obviously brings up various results but I thought I'd ask here if anybody has any specific recommendations or advice? It'd be used in the ashes of a campfire or over a burner.

Cheers

Plenty on ebay or stick to brewing in the Swedish army set and buy a 39p tea strainer from Wilkinsons and get a good and ground free cup that way.

I never get any grounds in my coffee without using any kind of strainer/filter.

This is what I use, Woodspirits Steve passed it on to me after he bought it from a car boot and it gets no end of use even at home on the stove. It's got a cup for a lid and a bail arm for hanging. I never get grounds in my coffee either so see no need for extra kit. It cleans up a treat but was just taken off a fire for the second time that day when I took the pic. Awesome bit of kit, enough for two but great for solo trips as well. Can't beat the oldschool vibe either in my opinion...

That's exactly what I'm after, I guess I'm going to have to go on a car boot hunt. I have seen some in antique shops for stupid money!

Also, there seems to be a vogue for pottery items that look like enamel! What is the point of that? I get all excited when I see a coffee pot but when I pick it up it's a crock.

Ronnie Sunshines also used to sell them, I dont know if they still do but I would think so.

Cheers. After a bit more digging, the set up Sasquatch has is a 'tea can' such as this one here.

Wow, thats a cracking deal. That holds a gallon of coffee. I paid more than that for my little enamel one from a homeware type shop in Richmond a few years back.
