Looking for a good cowboy coffee pot

[Grillagin]

I'm in the process of searching for a replacement for this coffee pot.  We bought it 40 years ago and used it for heating water, and for humidity during the winter at the cabin.  The porcelain or enamel and steel bottom finally rotted out last weekend.  I haven't found one as good, yet.  As usual, they don't make 'em like they used to.  I have found a couple blue ones online, but the reviews aren't good.  If anyone has a lead on a decent one, give me a shout.  I'll keep looking, and might have to hit the antique shops.

I'll keep my eyes open for one on estate sales and CL.

Great. Now I have the start of a red-white vintage enamelware collection.  What have I started?  Lots of goodies on eBay.  They fit in well in a log cabin.

Good stuff ain't cheap and cheap stuff ain't good.  I'm set with the new old stock one I found.  Should last for another forty years, which it probably already is.  Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

My mom's cousin was telling me about a company that is making stainless ones now (as opposed to aluminum).

That enamel pot looks like a great find for the cabin. For cowboy coffee in a pot like that, I have found it helps to use a coarse grind, bring the water just to a boil and then take it off the heat before adding the coffee, and let it steep for a few minutes rather than boiling it hard, which tends to make it bitter. A small splash of cold water at the end can also help the grounds settle before pouring. For everyday coffee at home I usually get my usual supply through this website, but for the pot itself I would keep an eye on estate sales and second-hand listings, as the older enamelware often holds up better than the thinner new ones.
