GSI Outdoors Coffee Boiler

This is the ultimate workhorse for group camping, trading the convenience of modern electric brewers for the rugged reliability of an open-fire classic. It’s bulky and demands a bit of patience, but nothing beats the ritual of brewing a massive pot of coffee over a crackling campfire.
