Coletti Bozeman Percolator
An all-stainless stovetop percolator with a wood handle and glass lid knob - no plastic anywhere, brew path or otherwise. The plastic-free community's flagship percolator.
The verdict: Plastic-free
The entire brew path - pot, stem, basket, and spreader - is 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, with no plastic and no aluminum in any coffee-contact part. The only non-steel parts are a hardwood handle and a glass lid knob, both non-plastic. That makes it fully plastic-free (and silicone-free): nothing plastic touches the coffee, and there's no plastic on the pot at all.

A stovetop percolator that cycles boiling water up a central stem and showers it over the grounds in the basket for a strong, filter-free cup - no paper consumables. You watch the glass knob on the lid and pull it off the heat when the brew reaches strength. Works on the stovetop or over a campfire, and the Butte sibling model swaps in a rosewood handle.
