I would not recommend heating water in this product. The whole idea is that you are pouring the already hot water over the grounds, and then stirring them which is the beginning of the brewing process. You would not begin with water in the glass part and then put in the coffee grounds, nor would you want to be microwaving a coffee grounds/cold water combo. Check out some youtube videos of how to use a french press. It's a special process, but one which I have found yields some of the best-tasting cups of coffee I've ever had. It's worth it to get out the old tea kettle and get some water boiling. You won't be disappointed. I would not recommend heating water in this product.

I am sure it can as long as you remove the top containing the metal elements, but I can boil water on my stove faster than I can boil that much water in the microwave.

I have tbe same question, I think minus the metal parts, yes would be the answer.

I have never tried. The outter case is plastic and the container is glass but the filter and plunger are metal. So probably not that part

Yes, I have used this to boil water for 3 minutes in the microwave on high with no issues. Of course, be careful it will be very hot- however the handle should be OK.

Probably not due to the metal band surrounding the lid and a metal screw holding the knob in place. Also, the pots the lid is designed for cannot be used in a microwave oven.

Yes, but I recommend heating the water inside the mug. I've cracked several by pouring very hot water in them or by washing with cool water when still very warm. I never had one break when heating water in a microwave oven, even to the boiling point (by accident).

I strongly suggest that anytime you employ a microwave to heat, or cook, any food or beverage, you must handle it with care, and use a pot holder, or oven mitt! Gee whiz, I would asssume that you would understand that it is going to be very warm, or hot. Is that not what a microwave oven is intended to do? Of course, this is just a suggestion from a person who had to learn his lesson, the hard way!

It is not recommend. Product is rated up to 110 degree Celsius (water boils at 100 degree Celsius). Food can get hotter than that in a microwave.

I don't think so. I put it in the microwave for 3min with high power, and everything come out steamed.

Yes! Remember, always cover your plate with a micro plate cover or paper towels. This will keep your food hot. I very pleased with this Microwave Oven.

I don't know, I never thought of that. If it can stand up to the microwave to heat it, why not wash and dry it.

I probably wouldn't. I heat mine in the microwave and haven't had any problems.

Yes. And it is dishwasher safe. But you cannot use it in the microwave to boil water.

I just heated a glass of water in the microwave for 1 min & 5 sec. The water got very hot, enough to make tea that was hot but not unthinkably hot, and the glass did not break. In fact, I could hold it in my hand without discomfort. I would say you are fine to heat water in it and not have an issue. Good luck.

You can place it in the oven but I do not believe you can use it in the microwave

The directions say it can but I don't heat up any kind of plastic in the microwave.

I have used briefly in microwave for some 30 seconds with no problem. I'm not sure that I would use any longer. I heat the water in another dish and pour into the bottom of the warming plate. Generally well pleased with dish. Keeps food warm for feeding. Kathy Summers

I don't see a problem with heating the water in a microwave. Optimal temp for water is 195-205 degrees. I also found filtered water makes a big difference in the flavor of the coffee.

I have never tried to put it in a microwave. I only use it for pool chemicals.
