How long does the coffee stay hot in the french press? Is it well insulated?

Its not insulated at all. It will only stay hot for about the same amount of time it would in a regular coffee cup.

Not too long. That is the one negative, one does need to drink up or use a carafe.

You guys are forgetting the biggest point here. You do not leave coffee in the press like that, it will continue brewing and will turn nasty. When is done brewing, pour it all directly into a Thermos, pre-warmed, of course. It will stay hot for well over 6 hours. Mine has stayed hot for like 12.

I like my coffee extremely hot. It stays really hot for maybe 15 min. It is not insulated but the glass is thick

I'm not sure how long the coffee stays hot but I know you can brew hot coffee into the mug!

Its not very hot at first. Hot but not very hot. The coffee will cool quick when poured into a cold mug.

In order to keep it hot, I boil water and put it in the mug for ten minutes then pour it out and put in my coffee. It will keep my coffee hot for about 4 hours then it starts to go warm and will keep it warm for about another 3 hours.

We didn't like this model of the french press very much. Yes, it made fine coffee but the plastic handle and top knob were loose, jiggly and felt cheep. We don't have it anymore (our cleaning lady dropped it in the sink and the glass shattered). I can't speak of the coffee grounds in the bottom. That issue never concerned me. good Luck...

No it wont stay hot for 2 hours... but honestly it never lasts that long in our house. I would agree that 1 hour is the maximum for hot coffee in this press.

If you put hot water in the pot to preheat it, then pour that out or back in the heating vessel to bring it to a boil again, then make your coffee, the Nissan will keep your coffee hot for somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour. If you just pour the hot water over coffee grounds in a cold pot, maybe 30 minutes. I'm doing a time test right this minute. Here's a time comparison after pouring a cup to drink while I tested. Time (min.) Temp (F) 4 168 10 166 15 162 30 156 45 149 60 144 I can say that I bought a Frieling Stainless, double-walled French press last year for about $80 and it does no better than the Nissan, plus has a nasty habit of shooting coffee out the spout if it's just slightly too full and I press the filter in a little too quickly. The Nissan top closes completely and has no such tendencies

I like my coffee very hot. After prewarming the carafe I find the coffee too cool to drink after 2.5 hours

No-the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps the coffee very hot

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.

In the press? Since this is a single serving, no need to keep it in the press after you plunge it. However, as it is double walled, I imagine it would stay hot just like my larger press that stays hot for up to an hour or longer, especially of you pour hot water in it, dump it out, then put the coffee grounds and hot water in.

No, it's very well insulated. It doesn't get hot when there's hot liquid inside, and doesn't sweat or feel cold when there's cold liquid inside.

I can't say in degrees but it got warm to the touch but not warm enough to keep a beverage in a cup warm. It has to get hot enough to penetrate a coffe/tea mug in order to keep the liquid warm. But it just didn't do that. So my coffee would get all cold & icky

The lid is a press - not insulated, but I doubt it would be worthwhile for it to be insulated. This is not a thermos, but a French press that does a pretty good job keeping coffee hot for longer than a glass carafe would. Use a tea cozy or put the coffee in a real thermos if you want long term heat retention. And....it won't break - a real plus.

Yes, it's made of borosilicate glass. It can withstand temperatures much higher than that of boiling water, which can't get any hotter than 100C or 212F. Most coffee brewers, however, recommend 195F as the optimum brewing temperature. French press is probably not the best method for the hottest coffee because the water cools down somewhat during the 4 minutes that it steeps. When the kitchen is cold, I preheat the pot with some hot water to minimize heat loss.

We routinely fill it with very hot water (as we've done with all our coffee carafes for years) before making the coffee. It keeps the coffee hot for at least an hour, which is the longest any of us can stand to have coffee sitting around since we're kind of Nazi-esque about freshness and taste. It's a great coffeemaker - not fancy, but it functions very very well and I'd buy another one (if it would ever wear out!).

Couple of hours. Of course coffee gets cooler over time - still warm after 3 hours but not hot. Mug is well insulated and works about the same as other double-walled aluminum insulated mugs.
