Overview
The Texsport 13215 is a 9-cup manual stovetop percolator built from stainless steel with a stainless finish. At 1.8 pounds it is one of the lighter options in this category, which makes it a reasonable choice for camping trips or small kitchens where storage space is tight.
The basket uses a reusable filter, so there are no paper filters to buy or pack. Operation is fully manual, meaning you control heat level and timing yourself. That gives experienced percolator users more control but requires attention that fully automatic models handle on their own.
At $41.99 the Texsport sits comfortably below the pricier competition. Its 4.3-star average across 331 reviews suggests buyers are generally pleased, though the smaller sample size means the rating carries less statistical weight than higher-volume products.

Priced at $41.99, well below many comparable percolators
9-cup capacity is enough for a small group

Smaller review pool of 331 makes the 4.3-star average harder to assess
Performance notes
Because this is a manual percolator, brew quality depends on how closely you watch the heat. On a camp stove or gas burner, keeping the flame moderate once perking starts is the key to avoiding bitter, over-extracted coffee. The reusable basket filter allows fine grounds through if not loaded carefully, so a medium-coarse grind works best.
What buyers say
With 331 ratings at 4.3 stars, feedback skews positive. Buyers frequently mention how well it works on camp stoves and open fires, and the low weight gets consistent praise. A few reviewers note the manual process is a learning curve for first-time percolator users.
Can this percolator be used directly on a campfire or open flame?
The stainless steel body is designed for stovetop use and handles open-flame camp stoves well. Use a flame diffuser if the fire runs very hot to avoid scorching the base.
Does it include a filter or do I need to buy one separately?
The Texsport 13215 includes a reusable basket filter, so no separate purchase is needed right out of the box.
