„This is especially true for rare items or items mislabeled, and only found through some good search techniques. In the past I've been burned by this posting behaviour - I once found a Faberware Coffee Robot #505, from the 30s in mint condition, but listed as a Farberware percolator, without any mention of it being a vac pot. I sat on it, and waited to bid until the last day when I figured it might go for as low as $50 or so. Someone (no names, no names) went and posted a "hey, lookit what I found!" post in alt.coffee the day before the auction closed, and guess what - the Robot skyrocketed and closed at over $180.“

Cowboy Coffee, Backpacker Style (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„I've seen all manner of camping coffee devices for sale. I've finished my whole pot of coffee while friends were still waiting for their percolator to perk an ever so slightly tastier cup of joe. My method is somewhat simple, requires zero overhead, and has worked wonderfully for me for five years. I've received many compliments on my coffee, normally wow, this is a surprisingly good cup of coffee, usually from the frou-frou coffee making device set.“

Peet's Coffee & Tea (#)

„Press pot or percolator: Because these coffees extract more slowly through extended contact with water, a coarser grind is required.“

How You Brewin'? (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„There are more brewing methods than we have time, or space, to discuss here. We favor French Press , but again admit that admirable results are possible with the Drip , Percolator, Turkish, Vacuum Pot , and of course Espresso methods to name only the most common. What's the difference? Don't be offended, but the difference is often how well prepared you are in the first place.“
