Can you remove the infuser completely? I am planning to use it for tea and hot water for a french press.

Yes, definitely. I used it for tea as well just the way it is. If I need more than just one cup of tea, I would measure the water, and placed the tea bags in the infuser and make three, or four cups of tea at once. Good luck.

I don't think you can use it for coffee, it boils quickly and is used for tea.
887325
yes; that's primarily how we use it too- to heat water for teapot and FP. Have only used infuser a few times, but then winter is just starting... I like the variable temperature options, though it's weird it does not shut off / shift to the warming function on its own when the highest temp setting is chosen. Jsut something to get used to...Still, i like it.

Yes- I never use the infuser. I just use it to boil water quickly and to heat water to specific temps for different kinds of tea.
887327
Yes! We mainly use the kettle for boiling water for our French press or to speed up cooking time for cooking pasta, boiling potatoes or anything that requires boiled water. I use the infuser mostly during the summer for making large batches of iced tea. It's a bit expensive but worth the price, I use mine everyday, I love it!

Yes, you can remove the infuser and use it exclusively as a water boiler. That's how I use it all the time.

You are correct. You do not have to remove it. Be aware that you absolutely do not want to use a fine ground coffee. They will overflow

I don't drink from it or any of the other infusers I and my wife use. We use travel mugs or regular cups to drink from cause we add honey to them, raw honey.

I just use a tea bag w/ out the infuser but you probably could fit it in there

The infuser is much smaller than a cup so I don't see the point of transporting it with the tea. The lid does screw in a little, but I not sure it's leakproof.

Yes, you can use it without the infuser. The infuser can come off-- it screws into the top.

Not at all. It's not microwaveable so there is no way for it to heat up or even get remotely warm. Just pour hot water into the infuser while it sits in an empty mug.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

I think it is...top shelf...to tell the truth I don't use the infuser...I just use to make hot water at different temps to use with an over the cup infuser...I've had the kettle for months now and love it

Yes, you should be able to use it in the microwave, its glass and plastic as long as you remove the infuser.

Not physically possible to remove the entire coffee unit, but if you do not wish to use the coffee maker just don't switch it on. You can use all other appliances separately at your own discretion.

Nope. You just kind of drink through the mesh strainer. It's not uncomfortable. I really can't recommend purchasing this thing, mine is basically useless at this point due to gasket issues and leaks. A hydroflask/klean kanteen with a sippy top and a tea infuser is going to keep your tea hot and stand the test of use.

Yes! you can put the lid on without the infuser too....enjoy the blooming tea...I love this pot

It could be removed but that would damage it. It's not made to be removed. It is a last filter before coffee flows into the cup but not absolutely necessary to operation of the machine.

Yes, the metal infuser has perforations to allow the tea to be poured without leaves going into the cup. I am uncertain as to what exactly you mean by the second question-it can be used with tea bags as well.

I don't have the mug so I am not sure what you are referring to. All I could say for now without further info: The lid fits the pot quite well with or without the infuser. It is smooth so you would have to hold the lid while pouring; though if you don't and the lid drops and shatters the company is quick to send you a replacement under ridiculously good warranty -got more stories.

The lid fits into the infuser. If you don't use the infuser you cannot use the lid.
