tape some light weight sponge/foa over the mic to reduce wind noise.

Thanks for the review, but don't brew the coffee longer to get it darker. Brewing for 15 min will ruin the coffee! instead, just use more coffee! I'd recommend trying two tablespoons of ground coffee for each cup. Just keep in mind that a "cup" in the coffee world is 6oz, not your normal 8 oz! When I percolate coffee, I find that once it starts percolating, it usually takes about 8-10 minutes for the coffee to be finished. Of course this will vary a little!

Nice product. Thanks for demonstrating it.

Dude if one would like a stronger cup of coffee one should just use more coffee and not wait 15-20 min because all that is going to do is that already brewed coffee goes over the grounds over and over only to bring out all the bitterness and bad aspects of the coffee. It's simply you maybe steep your coffee for 4 min in a french press but if you would use the coffee grounds again then it would only bring out bitterness and bad taste.

Thanks for the video. I especially enjoyed the GI canteen cup. Nice touch. I purchased a GSI Perc9, because of this video.

Percolator for the loss!  Puts out some pretty harsh coffee. Just get insulated coffee press which makes far superior coffee.
