Areas to watch—feedback on possible improvements.
Can burn coffee due to recirculation
“because the brewed coffee is being recirculated through the beans again under constant boiling temperature causing it to get burnt”➕

Inconsistent brewing experience
“Many mornings ruined by that experience.”➕
“I am not impressed.”➕
Percolators are considered outdated
“Tips? Percolating Coffee on a Pocket Rocket I bought a GSI 6 cup stainless steel percolator, intending to use it on MSR Pocket Rocket because I wanted to be able to brew more than just 1 cup of coffee in one go.”➕
