This is a coffee percolator made from Grade 1 titanium. The pot, filter stem, filter basket, lid and handles are all titanium. The filter basket is CNC machined from solid stock. The only part that is not titanium is the glass brew-viewer knob on top. There is no coating on the pot.
It brews 6 cups, or 1.5 L, in 4 to 5 minutes of gentle percolation. With the filter stack removed, it holds 2.0 L and works as a kettle. A bail handle hangs from a tripod hook over open flame, and the side handle folds flat for packing and swings out for pouring. Brackets are riveted, and the fill marks are etched.
It does not work on induction cooktops. The glass knob may not survive a hard drop outside its case. High heat that keeps the pot surging makes the coffee bitter. Flame heat can bring golds and blues out of the titanium over time.
