Combination tea kettle, coffee pot, and Happy Hour mix container. Aluminum coffee pot with can cozy fabbed wrap-on to keep coffee warm.

I may be in the "if any" group. For two person trips, I take a 1.8 L GSI Pinnacle Dualist II pot and a homemade Reflectix pot cozy. It does everything. I do bring titanium cups for drinking and as a backup in case I somehow find a way to destroy my pot, and I still want to boil water.

We use the same type pot, but never thought about making a cozy for it. That is one Sweet gear mod!

I drink a lot of coffee and tea. The groups favorite piece of cooking kit is the GSI 1.8 litter Halulite kettle. The hard anodized aluminum heats quickly and can be used over fire or with gas can. Highly recommend.

Two can cozies lashed together, strap for securing, and cut-outs for the coffee pot handle. Store inside coffee pot.

1 1/2 qt stainless with triclad bottom $1 from thrift store, many years ago. It handles fire well and the abuse of of me tossing packs ashore

I use this one, durable and large enough to boil water for hot drinks and meals.

Found at a campsite in NW Ontario in 2008. Perfect size and made from heavy duty stainless steel.

Funny, I've been wondering how it was made. Thanks Bobber!

Just use a cooking pot with lid

I had a guy two years ago bring a perculator pot with him.

I noticed that after only 2 days I had gone through 2 green cannisters of propane. In prior years I made it the week on two

When I investigated I found out he was putting the perculator on the stove and "brewing" for 30 minutes, then turning to simmer and leaving it at simmer for 3 hours in the morning so he would always have hot coffee.

I told him he was cut off on propane and was on his own for coffee after that.

Over the years, when bringing a camp stove, I found that the single biggest users of propane were the coffee drinkers and their pots. They have all been banned to fires now.
