I was going to suggest the same thing. I have a percolator, coffee pot in the basement cabinet that need given away. I still suggest the french press and whole coffee bean grinder for the best brew. 4 minutes and you have a fresh pot in a big glass beaker. It tastes noticably better than other methods IMHO. The only downside is that you can't drop it in the sink or floor. I preheat the beaker after wrapping it with a towel to keep the hot coffee hot about 45 minutes to an hour. Here's the brand I have. They're all going to be about the same.
Many years back a friend had a hunting cabin in the ‘Glades that got a lot of use. No electric, but had a gas stove. Coffee came from a mix of hand pump well and an aluminum pot and a teaspoon of coffee for each cup. Brought it to a boil, let it settle down and viola! Best coffee I ever tasted. Last cup had all the grounds.
I don’t have an old gutless coffee pot. Dang it!
I am..........disturbed.

Yep, making good coffee ain't rocket science. Just boil a ratio of 1/4 cup coffee grounds to 1 quart water. Boil it for 2 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add a little additional cold water slowly to it to settle out the grounds and pour you a cup. When I am out and about over a campfire or at home without electricity, I don't even use the perculator "guts". Just boil it. No need for fancy gizmos and no better coffee to be had.

A few years back Curdog, and I were at the Quemado gathering, and got there early by a couple of days. He fixed the best "boiled" coffee that I ever had. He did not acutally boil it. He would get the water boiling, move the pot off of the fire and put in some coffee. He just poured some in his hand and then put it in the pot. I measure. Put the pot back on the fire until it just started to make bubbles, then remove. did this until it was the color that you want, pour a little cold water in to settle the grounds. Still get a few grounds, but a small strainer would fix that. Mother used to have one that She strained tea with, when making loose leaf tea. miles
