"New" coffee pot for the Avion

Post by Razorback »

Found this WearEver 966 Drip-O-lator at an estate sale last weekend. Cleaned it up and used it this evening.

I like old stuff that works as well today as it did when it was new.

Found another fantastic deal on a travel coffee maker!

I have had a Melitta TravelMate since the early 90’s when I ordered one from Gevalia Coffee. I have always liked it. It got slightly damaged during a business trip, but still functions nicely.
I was on eBay and found a complete, used/new condition one for $12 + shipping. Ended up being $20.85 total. The seller said that his parents had bought it 20 years ago but never used it! When I received it, you could tell that was accurate!
Anyway, if you would like a very nice, single-cup coffee maker, keep your eyes open for one of these. (Melitta doesn’t make them any longer.) The cup, cone, and cone top pack away inside the coffee maker’s reservoir, then it and the other items go in the canvas case.

Cool!!! I have a 70’s Corning electric percolator that I use daily in the house, and take with us in the Avion. I agree with you that it makes an awesome pot of coffee. I have had mine for a couple of years now. When I got it, I cleaned it up, and fixed the problem that these pots were known for: the handle/metal ring separating from the pot. It has become my favorite way of making coffee.

I have also used the Melitta Travel Mate recently. STILL love that one, too!
