Can you regulate the flame of the alcohol heating lamp to control the water temperature at the critical stage of steaming the coffee powder?

No, you cannot do this. For this purpose I suggest you to use butane burner, which you can buy separately
1533909
No, it can only be adjusted when not lit. Frankly, that is the real achieves heal of this set-up. I highly recommend buying this micro-burner: http://www.amazon.com/Butane-Micro-Burner-Adjustable-Electronic/dp/B001BEBTNQ/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_1 It VASTLY speeds up the re-heat time and is esy to fill, use, and adjust. Cheers, and enjoy the Syphon. They make great coffee!

No, you actually need to boil the water first to bring it to a high enough temp. Then the flame brings it back to a boil. This helps to create the vacuum.

Hello, This coffee maker is "NOT AUTO Turn-On & Off" And, I not recommended. Thermal Fuse shorted for reason of inner electrical wires are chafe with heater tube.

Not specifically temperature however you can control the amount of flame which ultimately gives off less or more intense heat

Yes it can. The steam function is independent. Just turn the machine on and wait for the steam light to illuminate. Always be sure you have enough water.

Yes. You can turn the burner to low. In camp coffee doesn't usually last that long.

Yes! As a matter of fact, I am drinking my second cup right now, 30 minutes after making the coffee. It's hot! The warmer goes off automatically after one hour.

The official answer is no, because thats what the manufacturer say in the included card. If you know how to control the temperature well though to avoid any sudden changes in temperature in the glass, you can probably get away with it. I would use the tealite warmers over putting it on the stove though. This works very well with the temperature controlled water boilers to brew the perfect tea when dealing with the more delecate ones (green and white teas especially). The difference in taste is night and day when using the proper temperature water and correct brew time for the specific tea.

difficult to answer because there is too little info. Is there a magnet stirring the liquid rapidly so as to eliminate local heating? Is the sensor calibrated? Are you allowing enough time for equilibrium to be established in the hot plate? Is there a possibility that the hotplate control sensor is separated from the plate ( a mechanical problem)?

I would guess I could pre-fill my hobo alcohol stove and drop it in, light with a long match,twig or a spark from a ferro rod,using the stove as a pot stand and windbreak concentrating the heat. I'd be careful not to get burned. Now I'll have to try it.

I would think something would have to be heated to the extreme before it could cause damage like melting. I have hot coffee on mine everyday and have no problems.

Yes. You have to go under the "Special Beverages" menu to select the "Steam" option. When you've reached the desire temperature, you just hit the "ESC" button to stop it. If I remember correctly, the steam wand comes already attached to the machine.Or you can just connect the tube to the Cappucinnatore (coffee dispenser) and a container of milk. Your beverage and coffee will come out through the dispenser, however at a specific temperature.

Yes you can. It is a great product. You can kind of regulate how hot you want it by how much time you set the warmer.

I use it in my boat hot water heater. It makes the water hot but I don't think it will make it hot enough to make coffee unless you leave it on
537284
Yes, you can do that. The other option that you have is to simply press the carafe (or single serve) button when you have the amount you desire (just a moment before actually to give the machine time to respond) and the brewing will stop then too.

you must have a different model. All I have is the on/off - heating - brewing lights. Sorry couldn't help.

You can set the brewer to turn on or off at certain times. This way the water is heated and ready, you can load your coffee pod, place your cup and then simply push the button when you are ready! Pretty simple.

An indicator light signals when the optimal temperature is reached. Thus it controls the temperature of the iron. Then it steams slightly to prevent sticking. The lowest setting takes a tad bit less time to cook relatively.
