I'm researching equipment that I will need for a backpacking trip and am wondering if anyone remembers the old style coffee percolators. If you do, do you know if you can still find them and where?
Thanks, any info would be helpful
Answer
If you will truly be backpacking, you will more than likely find the old style percolators to be heavy and quite bulky. They are certainly available still - as the other answer mentioned, Walmart will likely have them, as do outdoors stores like Cabela's, Bass Pro, REI, etc.
For backpacking, I have a few different means of making coffee, and will switch them around from trip to trip. If a good strong cup of joe is what you're after, there are some great french presses that are great - and if you use the JetBoil stove, there is a java press for that too, which I'm told is excellent. GSI Outdoors manufactures a whole variety of coffee making toys... including the percolators, coffee filter baskets, presses, espresso machines, etc. LOTS to choose from.

For ultralight backpacking, I hate to say it, but I tend to use Starbucks VIA packets or instant espresso powder... and sometimes I spike either of those with a teaspoon of hot cocoa powder.

What tent will be good for camping around Africa and Europe?
Plato
Needs to fit two people and equipment and be as light as possible
Answer
Big Agnes Copper Spur Ultralight 2-person, 3.5 pounds in packed weight, $400.
MSR Hubba Hubba 2-person, 4 pounds packed weight, $330.
I use the very tight, very light Big Agnes Fly Creek, Ultralight 1-person, 2 pounds, $320.
My MSR Hubba Hubba has lasted many years as my roomy alternate for greater comfort on shorter backpacking expeditions, especially when I anticipate bad weather with long hours sacked-in.
