Coleman Automatic Drip Coffee Maker

[Traildust]

Just got back from a week of Boondocking in the Sierra and we had a great time. I do want to comment on the Coleman Coffee Maker though. If you like luke warm coffee, this is for you. It also takes up a lot of space and won't be going with us again. We used it twice and at 7000 feet ASL it took it 20 minutes to make a full pot. We reverted back to our Melitta Drip System, works just fine.
This is just my opinion though, the Coleman may work for others.

Just curious as to why it was luke warm? The altitude? We have one and I have to agree that it is big and somewhat slow but makes a good cup of coffee. How ever we have only used it here in Florida close to sea level. Probably will go with one of the press pots on our longer trips since we always have a kettle with un anyway.

Not sure what it was but the coffee came out maybe just a little more than luke warm. It wasn't nearly as hot as I would like a freshly brewed cup to be. The Melitta works really well but is a little more of a hassle to use.
