can you pour hot coffee into this and then put it in the refrigerator

It's a bad idea to put anything HOT or warm in your fridge. It takes a long time to shed that heat and the heat will transfer to your other stuff raising it above the safe temperature for food safety. All food should be cooled thoroughly before placing in the fridge.

Probably. It's pretty tough as plastics go. I wouldn't expect it to melt or get out of shape. But I would leave the yellow vent open while it cooled so pressure didn't warp it inadvertently.

I've never tried it. I have boiled water with tea bags and poured it into the container about a 1/2 hour of cooling to make iced tea, and I use it for fruit juices and Kool-Aid, but that's it.

Yes I believe you can. I'm not sure about boiling liquid, but hot coffee should work just fine. These are great still 5 star items. To hold a gallon and go in the single 1/2 gallon spot. Pretty sure you'd be all set making your coffee ice coffee in this.

Yes you can. I put hot coffee in mine and put it in the frig, but I'm also having a problem with the leads leaking when I pour from it. It usually makes a mess. I am looking to replace mine.

I don't see why not. I use it as a tea pitcher & I always pour the freshly brewed (and very hot) tea into it.

We do not recommend putting "Piping hot" water in the reservoir. This coffee maker is designed to withstand a certain temperature listed in the manual and should not be exceeded. After your coffee is brewed you may put it in the microwave to achieve the desired temperature of your choice.

Yes. I wouldn't put it in the microwave for long, if you do, but I do put warm drinks in mine.

Yes...you can pull the carafe out to pour a cup of coffee and put it back to continue brewing.

YES! I do that all the time to warm up the pot before putting the coffee in it.

I usually pour it into a cup but you could drink from it as well. It kind of has a lip that funnels the liquid into a stream. Only one problem, because it is so well insulated, the coffee is going to be at whatever temperature it was at when you put it into the thermos. If you put in piping hot coffee, even an hour or two later, it is going to be piping hot and will probably burn you if you try to drink directly from it. If you cool the coffee to a warm/hot drinkable temperature before you put it in the thermos, then you could definitely drink directly from it later.

I wouldn't brew hot coffee with it as you are defeating its purpose, if a Hot coffee is wanted take some of the cold brewed coffee and heat it up or add boiling water to the cold brew.

Depends. I use water from the fridge that is already filtered and don't use the coffee machine filter

Yes. It is fine. There is not a warming plate so you make coffee and drink it right away. Reheat it in the microwave it it sat for a while. One or two people have stated that is you want stronger coffee, to use a stronger type of coffee grounds so you don't overfill the filter. For me, It's perfect.

Yes. The Coffee is Very hot After Brewing But You Can Always "Reheat" And Froth More By Selecting The "Froth" Button. My Kids Even Like This With Their Hot Chocolate And Have Gotten Very Creative. Enjoy

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170°F

I think it would be okay with extra hot water. The oils from the coffee might leave some residue.

No. The coffee flows into a thermos type pot which keeps the coffee hot for several hours. I have had many types of coffee makers over the years and this is by far the best.

Well, technically you could do that. However, it would not taste as delicious as pouring freshly boiled water on freshly ground beans. You would have to give it a stir to ensure it all mixed in and it would just not be the same. However, in a pinch, it would totally work. Please don't tell any coffee lovers you did it though. ;) Just be sure the water temp isn't super high.

you can but i would wait till it fills past the four cup mark.it takes a few cups to get the coffee warm enough.

Theoretically, yes. You just have to open and shut the compartment without taking the old cup out. don't know how the old coffee will hold up to a second brewing though.

Of course! Just like any coffee maker, you don't need to put coffee in the basket, then hot water will just drop into the carafe where you can put your tea bags.
