**First use and cleaning

**

After each use and before the first use, wash the Percolator and all its parts thoroughly with water with a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly inside and outside with a clean and dry cloth.

Percolation process and preparation

The Petromax percolators operate according to the percolator principle: Water is heated. The resulting pressure presses the water upwards through the tube where it passes through the sieve and drips onto the coffee powder. Below it once again mixes with the remainder of the water. The more often this process is repeated the more intensive the taste of the coffee becomes. We recommend a brewing time of 12-15 minutes. The percolator can be used for camping, outdoor and garden activities but also on the stove at home. Only use coarsely ground coffee or coarse, loose tea to ensure the efficiency of the percolation process. Please note the minimum and maximum filling level of your Percolator.

  1. Add the desired amount of drinking water. Please note the minimum and maximum filling levels. At too low filling level the water will not boil, at too high filling level it will boil over. Caution! The water must not come into contact with the basket.
  2. Fill the basket with the desired amount of coarsely ground coffee or tea. Close the lid. The nose of the lid should be on the same side as the handle (Percolator black & white.)
  3. Place the Percolator onto a flat heating surface or place/hang it over the campfire. Boil the water.
  4. Optimal boiling period: approx. 12-15 minutes
