What It Is
The LE28 variant is the larger stainless steel version of Petromax’s Perkomax percolator, designed to brew up to 4.2 liters (around 28 cups) of coffee or tea in one go. It’s made for both outdoor adventure and everyday use.
Construction & Design
Material: Built with durable stainless steel, making it suitable for open fire, stovetop, and grilling environments.
Glass Knob: Classic percolator functionality with a modern touch—you can watch the brewing cycle through the transparent knob on the lid.
Versatile Use: Hang it over a campfire or place it directly on a gas burner—the design handles both with ease
Percolator Brewing Method—What Makes It Special
The LE28 employs a classic percolation system:
Water boils and rises through a central tube.
It drips onto grounds in a basket, infusing with flavor.
The brewed coffee returns to the base and cycles again.
The longer it percolates, the richer and more aromatic your drink becomes.
